Esta tese aborda o Concerto para Violão e Orquestra de Francisco Mignone, ainda pouco conhecido do público e violonistas de modo geral, apesar de seu retorno gradativo aos programas de concerto durante a última década. Nosso trabalho abrangeu duas frentes: a revisão da obra como um todo e o estudo das sugestões de Sérgio Abreu para a parte solista, concebida como apoio às primeiras apresentações brasileiras. A revisão da parte orquestral, a partir do confronto entre fontes primárias, seguiu ideias centrais de James Grier em seu conceito do intérprete-editor, que intervém para prover uma partitura alinhada às suas fontes históricas, ao mesmo tempo de fácil leitura e realização. Contextualizamos as proposições violonísticas de Sérgio Abreu em meio a revisões representativas de outros repertórios por personagens referenciais do instrumento, com as análises iniciais balizadas em princípios gerais do estruturalismo de Arnold Schönberg e William Caplin. Posteriormente as confrontamos também com as fontes primárias do violão solista e contexto orquestral. Embora nossa meta principal tenha sido a revisão crítica deste Concerto, nossa dupla abordagem propiciou uma reflexão em torno de suas características centrais, com desfecho das análises em nossas considerações finais. Os resultados podem ser resumidos na ideia geral de que a revisão crítica se torna progressivamente um hábito do intérprete violonista a partir do século XX e, especificamente, na elaboração de nossa partitura crítica do Concerto, com proposições também de nossa parte. / This thesis addresses the Concerto para Violão e Orquestra (Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra) by Francisco Mignone, who is still little known to the public and guitarists in general despite his increasing presence in concert programs during the last decade. Our research involved two fronts: the review of the work as a whole and the study of Sergio Abreu\'s suggestions regarding the soloist part, which were conceived as support to the first Brazilian presentations. The review of the orchestral part, based on the confrontation between primary sources, followed the central ideas of James Grier\'s concept about the interpreter-editor, who intervenes in the work in order to provide a score that is in line with the historical sources, and that is also easy to read and perform. We contextualize Sérgio Abreu\'s suggestions for the guitar amid representative revisions of other repertoires by referential interpreters with initial analyzes based on the general principles of Arnold Schönberg\'s and William Caplin\'s structuralism. Subsequently, we also confront Abreu\'s suggestions with the primary sources of the soloist guitar and with the orchestral context. Although our main goal was the critical review of this Concerto, our dual approach provided a reflection on its core characteristics, and the outcome of the analysis is in our final considerations. The results can be summarized in the general idea that, from the twentieth century, the critical review progressively becomes a habit of the interpreter guitarist and that it is specifically present in the elaboration of our critical score of the Concerto, which also incorporate suggestions given by us.

Background. Paper I: Published guidelines and policies continually promote the importance of increasing service-user involvement in health care services. Q-methodology has become a popular method for revealing the subjective perspectives of patients who use health services, yet there is currently no review considering the potential issues of using Q-methodology with clinical populations. Paper II: Measuring the quality of care for people using neurorehabilitation services is a complex area requiring reliable methods. Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) is used widely in dementia care settings to help improve person-centred care and with appropriate evaluation may be usefully applied to neurorehabilitation settings. Aims. Paper I [literature review] examined studies which used Q-methodology with clinical populations, with a particular emphasis on the potential adaptations required to ensure its reliable use. Paper II [research study] explored the acceptability views of staff and patients for the pilot use of DCM in a neurorehabilitation setting. Paper III attempted to critically appraise these papers, as well as the research process overall. Methods. Paper I reviewed 29 studies, published over a 20-year period, using a narrative synthesis. Paper II conducted DCM on an acute neurorehabilitation ward, and evaluated the acceptability of DCM using Q-methodology with 23 staff and 10 patients on the ward. Results. Paper I identified a number of considerations for the effective application of Q-methodology with clinical populations. Paper II, reporting on the factor analysis, indicated a 'consensus' viewpoint, where all participants indicated positive acceptability for the use of DCM in a neurorehabilitation setting, with additional factors indicating some potential changes to the tool for increasing acceptability in the future. Paper II also indicated the potential for Q-methodology to be useful with a neurorehabilitation in-patient population. Conclusion. Paper I indicated the potential worth of Q-methodology for use with clinical populations. It also indicated guidelines which researchers might consider when using this method with clinical populations in the future. Paper II revealed promising results for the acceptability of DCM in a neurorehabilitation setting, though further research is required to explore this further. It also confirmed the value of Q-methodology with patients within a neurorehabilitation setting, similarly to those in Paper I. Paper III explored the relevance of Papers I and II in adding to the literature independently, but also the unequivocal link regarding the use of Q-methodology with clinical populations.

No / The use of first-hand service user accounts of mental illness is still limited in the professional literature available. This is, however, beginning to change, with a new ‘recovery’ focus in mental health services meaning that the voices of service users are finally being heard. Recovering from Psychosis: Empirical Evidence and Lived Experience synthesises a narrative approach alongside an evidence-based review of current treatment by including Stephen Williams’ own personal experience as it relates to psychosis, recovery and treatment. A mental health professional himself, the author’s account of his own recovery from severe mental health difficulties, without sustained intervention, challenges the orthodoxy of representation of service users in mental health. Recovering from Psychosis critically explores and reviews the current state of the art of research and knowledge about the nature and treatment of psychosis. Working simultaneously from empirical, lived experience and philosophical perspectives,Stephen Williams: Evaluates political and power related issues in professional understanding, knowledge-creation and treatment of people with psychosis; Introduces the current ‘recovery movement’, unpacking its origins and implications for the future development of ‘recovery oriented services’; Reviews, summarizes and critiques the current state of ‘recovery’ research, looking at the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach, examining how this is influencing the transformation of UK mental health services; Analyses the difficulties in organisational implementation of recovery approaches, summarises the most empirically robust approaches to practice, personal and service delivery measurement; Reviews current ‘models’ of psychosis and how various professional scientific groups explain the experience and nature of psychosis; Uses lived-experience accounts taken from the scientific literature, portraying the nature of such experiences and analysing them in the face of contemporary psychological models. Recovering from Psychosis is an essential comprehensive guide for mental health professionals, psychologists, social workers and carers, who are working with people with severe and enduring mental health difficulties diagnosed as psychosis. It addresses the practical implications of working with such difficult conditions and serves as a hopeful story of recovery for service users.

Résumé : Problématique : Une augmentation importante de la prévalence du diabète a été observée au Nouveau-Brunswick au cours de la dernière décennie. Sachant que le diabète est associé à des complications de santé nombreuses et à des coûts élevés infligés au système de soins de santé, il devient important d’identifier les facteurs pouvant expliquer l’augmentation de la prévalence du diabète. L’étude a pour objectif de décrire l’évolution de ces facteurs afin de prioriser les interventions en lien avec cette maladie. Méthodes : Une revue critique de la littérature a permis l’identification de l’ensemble des facteurs pouvant expliquer l’augmentation de la prévalence du diabète. Des données administratives disponibles au Nouveau-Brunswick et des données tirées d’enquêtes de Statistique Canada ont été utilisées afin de décrire l’évolution de plusieurs des facteurs tirés de la revue critique de la littérature. Résultats : Une augmentation de 120% de la prévalence du diabète de type 2 au Nouveau-Brunswick a été observée entre 2001 et 2014. Cette augmentation pourrait être explicable par l’ensemble des cinq catégories de facteurs pouvant expliquer une augmentation de la prévalence dont plusieurs facteurs de risque individuels (dont l’obésité, le prédiabète et l’hypertension), de facteurs de risque environnementaux (dont l’urbanisation), de l’évolution de la maladie (exprimée par une diminution du taux de mortalité et une augmentation de l’incidence), de l’effet de détection (augmentation du nombre de personnes testées, diminution de la valeur d’HbA1c et de l’âge à la détection) et d’un effet du changement dans l’environnement (exprimé par un effet de période et de cohorte). Conclusion: L’augmentation de la prévalence du diabète notée au Nouveau-Brunswick pourrait s’expliquer par plusieurs facteurs de risque individuels, environnementaux, de l’évolution de la maladie, de l’effet de détection et d’un effet du changement dans l’environnement. Cette étude permettra de guider les actions sur le diabète au Nouveau-Brunswick et d’inspirer les autres provinces et pays à identifier les facteurs pouvant contribuer à l’augmentation de la prévalence du diabète grâce à la liste de l’ensemble des facteurs potentiellement explicatifs. / Abstract : Background: A major increase in the prevalence of diabetes in New Brunswick was observed over the last decade. Because diabetes is associated with many health complications and increases healthcare system costs, it is important to identify factors that could explain the increase in prevalence of diabetes in New Brunswick to help government prioritize interventions to reduce the burden of diabetes. The objective of this study is to describe factors potentially involved in the increase in prevalence of diabetes. Methods: A critical review of the literature was used to identify a list of factors that could explain an increase in prevalence of diabetes. Administrative data available in New Brunswick from 2001 to 2014 and data from Statistics Canada were used to conduct a repeated cross sectional descriptive study. Results: A 120% increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes was observed in New Brunswick between 2001 and 2014. The increase in prevalence of diabetes could be explained by an increase in the prevalence of many individual risk factors (such as obesity, hypertension and rediabetes), environmental risk factors (like urbanization), the evolution of the disease (expressed by an increase in incidence rate and a decrease in mortality rate), a detection effect (observed by an increase in number of people tested and a decrease in HbA1c values and age at detection) and environmental changes (with a period and cohort effect). Conclusion: The major increase in prevalence of diabetes in New Brunswick could be explained by many individual risk factors, environmental risk factor, the evolution of the disease, the detection effect and an environmental change. The comprehensive overview of factors presented will help guide actions about diabetes in New Brunswick and will inspire others jurisdictions to identify factors that could explain the increase in their country or province.

2010 was the year of the wedding between Sweden’s crown princess Victoria and Daniel Westling. Although the wedding was partly financed with tax payer’s money, the newspapers did not investigate it further. The main theme of the published articles was lighter and with an entertainment value rather than finding out what the tax money really went. We read two of Sweden’s biggest newspapers, one morning paper (Dagens Nyheter) and one evening paper (Aftonbladet) and counted the articles that contained information about the wedding 1st June – 25th June. 93 percent of the 137 articles in Aftonbladet did not have any critical content at all. Dagens Nyheter published 48 articles during the same period and the percentage of non-critical content was 86 percent. We also divided the articles into different categories for example wedding dress, weather and safety. This to find out what the newspapers choose to write about.

The adopted methodological procedure was the application of a Didactic Sequence (DS) of the referred genre, elaborated under Dolz, Noverraz e Scheneuwly’s approach (2004), who propose an initial production that serves as reference to guide the teacher´s interventions, according to the students’ necessities, detected in the writing of initial texts. In such DS the learners’ activities are planned and grouped in modules that end up with the re-doing of the texts in the final version. This choice is justified by its rendering of the visualization of the writing process since the very moment of the teacher’s intervention until its end, besides allowing him/her to observe how the teaching of the constitutive elements of a gender and of its production conditions give to the apprentice a better linguistic discursive performance in the written skill. Studies in the fields of textual linguistics and textual genres have shown relevant contributions for the understanding of the language as a psycho-social phenomenon attached to human practices and activities which result from the interaction among subjects aiming at the same specific purposes, within social and historically situated contexts. The present research circumscribes itself under this perspective, and its outputs attest the possibility of teaching argumentative genres in Elementary School, according to the analysis of the students’ textual productions, which demonstrate their advancement in the act of argumentation and how it favors their textual progression. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a viabilidade do ensino sobre o ato de argumentar na modalidade escrita da língua a partir do ensino-aprendizado do gênero argumentativo resenha crítica de filme em uma turma do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental. O procedimento metodológico adotado foi a aplicação de uma Sequência Didática (SD) do gênero em foco, elaborada sob a perspectiva de Dolz, Noverraz e Scheneuwly (2004), os quais propõem uma produção inicial que serve como referência para guiar as intervenções do professor de acordo com as necessidades dos alunos apresentadas nos textos iniciais. Na SD as atividades são planejadas e agrupadas em módulos que culminam na refacção dos textos ou na versão final. A escolha por esse procedimento justifica-se por ele propiciar o vislumbre do processo de escrita desde o momento inicial da intervenção do professor até o seu final e também por permitir observar como o ensino dos elementos constitutivos de um gênero e de suas condições de produção conferem ao sujeito aprendiz um melhor desempenho linguístico-discursivo na modalidade escrita. Os estudos realizados no campo da Linguística Textual e dos gêneros textuais têm apresentado relevantes contribuições para o entendimento da língua como um fenômeno psicossocial atrelado às práticas ou atividades humanas, resultante da interação entre sujeitos movidos por propósitos específicos em contextos situados social e historicamente. A presente pesquisa circunscreve-se nessa perspectiva, e seus resultados confirmam a possibilidade de ensinar os gêneros argumentativos no Ensino Fundamental conforme análise das produções textuais dos alunos, as quais demonstram o avanço no ato argumentativo e de como este favorece a progressão textual.

Title: Critical evaluation of taping methods with focus on its effects. Objectives: Purpose of this diploma thesis is critical evaluation of taping methods with concentration on its effects. Evaluation, comparison of contradictory statements and obtained information will be done based on a study and analysis of literature and scientific studies regarding taping methods and its efficiencies. On this base, final conclusions about real efficiency of taping will be made. Methods: In this diploma thesis, which is a critical review, document studies method will be used, along with analysis of professional scientific sources and their comparison. Results: The sport tapes (solid and elastic) and the kinesio tapes may participate on the possible mechanisms of the taping method effect. The various kinds of the tapes are different in the consequences of its effects. For lack of good scientific studies we can not clearly objectify the method of the taping. Keywords: taping, taping methods, taping efficiency, knesio taping, benefits of taping, prevention, critical review, proprioception, scars.

Background: Mixed-methods research (MMR) offers much to healthcare professions on clinical and research levels. Speech-language therapists and audiologists work in both educational and health settings where they deal with real-world problems. Through the nature of their work, they are confronted with multifaceted questions arising from their efforts to provide evidence-based services to individuals of all ages with communication disorders. MMR methods research is eminently suited to addressing such questions. Objective: The aim of this tutorial is to increase awareness of the value of MMR, especially for readers less familiar with this research approach. Method: A literature review was conducted to provide an overview of the key issues in MMR. The tutorial discusses the various issues to be considered in the critical appraisal of MMR, followed by an explanation of the process of conducting MMR. A critical review describes the strengths and challenges in MMR. Results: MMR is less commonly used or published in the fields of speech-language therapy and audiology. Conclusion: Researchers working in teams can draw on the strengths of different disciples and their research approaches. Such collaborative enterprises will contribute to capacity building. Researchers, SLTs and audiologists are encouraged to make use of MMR to address the complex research issues in the multicultural, multifaceted South African context. MMR makes an important contribution to the understanding of individuals with communication disorders, and in turn, researchers in the two disciplinary fields of speech-language therapy and audiology can contribute to the development of this research approach. MMR is well suited to the complexity of South African contexts and its populations, as it can provide multiple perspectives of a topic.
