O exercício de olhar para as formas de vida e para as formatações que precarizam e capturam suas variações, contornos, movimentos, invenção, bem como a necessidade de trazer para o campo do cuidado em saúde um modo de trabalhar que considere as multiplicidades, olhando para as singularidades que portam os sujeitos e todas as possibilidades que compõem as existências, incitaram a produção desta pesquisa. Não pretendi traçar um inventário de variados modos de existência, mas encontrar e acompanhar o traçado das rotas de vidas cotidianamente inventadas. Micromovimentos que se passassem no entre, numa espécie de terceira margem, que não se ancorassem nas formas de resistência mais constituídas. Através de derivas por um bairro periférico localizado na região leste da cidade de São Paulo/SP, prestei atenção aos variados modos de produzir existência, ao arranjo vital dos pequenos fazeres cotidianos. Ensejei olhar o que não é visto e estabelecer uma zona de vizinhança com o que difere dos modos dominantes de habitar a vida. Uma cartografia das existências passando e pulsando no seu movimento mínimo, no emaranhado das linhas de um ordinário cotidiano que se encarrega da tramagem da vida. Com efeito, a presente pesquisa qualitativa com análise micropolítica do cotidiano por meio do método cartográfico, se propôs menos a coletar dados para formulação de análises que endossam estatísticas, confirmam hipóteses e formulam conclusões precisas, do que produzir encontros e narrativas a partir das histórias de vida, de luta e de resistência dos que habitam o território escolhido. Interessou-me saber do outro por ele mesmo. / The exercise in looking to forms of life at its innumerous derivatives and deeper to the social arrangements that capture its variations, trajectories, movements, innovations, as so to bring into the field of health care approaches comprising the whole range of being multiplicities, noticing all subject\'s singularities thus evidencing all possibilities within the concept of existing, were the focus of the present research. I did not intend to solely gather data regarding ways of existence, but to find and trace the paths drawn continuously through daily challenges of existence. Micromovements taking effect in betweens, almost as a third border, that are not funded into most constituted strategies of social resistances. Throughout cartographic derivations in a peripheral neighborhood on the east of São Paulo/SP, I was concentrated to the many life producing possibilities, to the vital (re)actions on the simple daily tasks. I wished to apperceive the unnoticed aspects and set up a neighboring zone using the others rather than the dominant way of life appropriation. Cartography of existences pulsating at its lowest movements, stretching at its limited extent, comprehending one from the many routes that designs life narratives. In effect, this quantitative research with a micropolitical analysis of the daily life through the cartographic method, did not propose a collecting data to formulate intended analyses that confirm statistical, hypotheses, and conclusions, but producing meetings and narratives based on life stories, on singular struggles, and resistance of the people inhabiting that territory. I was interested to meeting the other by him.

Thesis advisor: William Stanwood / The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's ascendance into the mainstream consciousness has reached a point where many not only consider it to be a source of news, but also Stewart to be one of the most respected and important journalists in the country. This study investigated The Daily Show’s impact on the general public using the theoretical framework of agenda-setting. After grounding the study in existing scholarly research, data, content and textual analyses were performed on 12 Daily Show episodes, as well as data analysis on the corresponding network news broadcasts. It was then concluded that The Daily Show has no significant impact on what people think about no matter what variables were analyzed. Thus, Stewart likely has been right all along in his claim that he and his team are not journalists – rather, they are merely producing a comedy show that happens to involve news and parodies news broadcasts. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2011. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Student Number : 9805453M - MA research report - School of Human and Community Development - Faculty of Humanities / In recent years, there has been increased interest among multidisciplinary researchers in looking at the relationship between religion and health, with the bulk of the literature indicating that religion has largely positive effects on mental health (Masters, Hill, Kircher, Benson & Fallon, 2004; Pieper, 2004; Smith, McCullough & Poll, 2003). Hence this study has chosen to focus on the relationship between undergraduate students’ perceptions of religious orientation, as defined by Allport and Ross (1967), and their perceptions of pressure – a form of stress identified by Weiten (1988). Questionnaires comprising of the Religious Orientation Scale, the Pressure Inventory and demographic information in terms of age, gender and religious affiliation were administered to undergraduate engineering students at the University of the Witwatersrand to explore religious orientation and pressure respectively. The sample consisted of 76 undergraduate engineering students at the University of the Witwatersrand. The results revealed that in this sample religious orientation had no influence on perceptions of pressure. In terms of the demographic variables, neither age nor gender was found to influence students’ perceptions of religious orientation or pressure, respectively. However a significant difference was found between religious affiliation and both religious orientation and pressure. More specifically religious affiliation showed a significant difference in terms of intrinsic religious orientation, selfimposed pressure, pressure in intimate relations and total pressure.

Student Number : 9604621R - MEd (Ed Psyc) research report - School of Education - Faculty of Humanities / The Adolescent Stress Identification Inventory (ASII) was developed specifically to identify stress in South African adolescents. It consists of structured questions in response to which the subject is required to rate a statement according to a given scale. The purpose of this research was to assess the usefulness of the ASII as a structured inventory for identifying stress in adolescent girls who attend a private high school in Johannesburg. The sample of adolescents used in this research comprised only of English speaking girls but with the added dimension of the different race groupings namely White, Black, Chinese, Indian and Coloured. This allowed the researcher to compare the stressors identified by Kruger (1992) with the comparative female age cohort selected in this sample and identify and compare the stressors amongst the different racial groups. Understanding what types of things adolescents find stressful in relation to their stage of development is important in helping the adolescent cope with their “daily hassles” and assists teachers, parents and psychologists in treating and preventing the symptoms of stress. Erikson’s psychosocial theory of development is used as a basis for understanding the complex interaction and integration of physical, psychological and social factors that characterize adolescence as a period of development. The findings from this research suggest that the stressors identified by grade 10 and grade 11 girls, can be viewed in terms of the factors associated with the ASII, namely societal demands, self-concept, future expectations, relations and positive experience. The ASII was able to identify stressors and detect the similarities and differences of the types of concerns that the adolescents from the different race groups perceived as stressful. It is recommended that the ASII is used in conjunction with a qualitative means of acquiring more information about the respondents stress experience.

Au cœur des temporalités urbaines, les horaires de travail rythment les pulsations des activités et mobilités quotidiennes. C'est pourquoi nous interrogeons la possibilité d’échelonner les horaires d’embauche pour atténuer la saturation des transports à l’heure de pointe du matin. Les réponses habituellement privilégiées s’appuient sur des considérations d’ordre technique : c’est l’entreprise qui contraint les salariés à se déplacer au même moment. Une des solutions envisagées consiste alors à promouvoir les horaires de travail à la carte. Mais nos observations relativisent la pertinence de cette idée. En effet, en Île-de-France et pour les déplacements en transports collectifs, la flexibilisation des horaires de travail accentue la concentration temporelle des arrivées au bureau. Ce constat paradoxal demande de renverser la façon dont nous considérons généralement le phénomène de pointe. Avant de chercher à résoudre les problèmes de congestion en heure de pointe, il est nécessaire de comprendre les logiques d’action individuelles qui fondent un choix d’horaire de travail. Pour quelles raisons un salarié aux horaires flexibles arrive-t-il au travail en heure de pointe? Guidées par une approche compréhensive et centrée sur les temporalités du quotidien, nos investigations s’appuient sur les résultats d’un questionnaire (3202 répondants) et d’entretiens (29) réalisés auprès de cadres du pôle d’activité de la Plaine Saint-Denis. Afin de décrire les stratégies temporelles qui expliquent une arrivée au bureau en heure de pointe, nous établissons nos hypothèses de recherche selon trois dimensions :(I) Il subsiste toujours des contraintes de couplage (horaires d’école, de réunion) qui poussent les salariées flexibles à se rendre au travail durant la période de pointe. (II) Les salariés flexibles qui n’ont pas de contraintes de couplage préfèrent (loisir en fin d’après-midi, synchronisation avec les proches) arriver avant ou pendant l'heure de pointe. (III) Il existe des normes sociales d’horaires de travail (normes des salariés disciplinés et du cadre dévoué) qui canalisent les pratiques horaires en sanctionnant les arrivées trop tardives au bureau. La validation de ces hypothèses offre une lecture renouvelée de l’heure de pointe à l’ère de la flexibilité : l’individualisation du rapport au temps (de travail) ne conduit pas à la désynchronisation des agendas. Et finalement, c’est en dévoilant les entrelacs organiques de la synchronisation au travail que la thèse ouvre des pistes opérationnelles pour désaturer les transports aux heures de pointe / At the core of city life, work hours set the rhythm of daily activities and movement. We are therefore investigating the possibility of staggering the start of the work day in order to reduce congestion at morning rush hour. Suggestions typically put forward are based on considerations of a tactical nature: it is companies’ schedules which dictate that workers all commute at the same time. Thus, one proposed solution is to promote flexible work schedules. But our observations call this idea into question: in Île-de-France, as far as public transportation is concerned, flexible work scheduling actually magnifies the number of commuters who arrive at work during rush hour. This paradoxical observation makes it necessary to change the way we usually think of the rush hour phenomenon. Before trying to solve peak congestions problems, we need to understand the underlying reasons on which an individual’s work schedule choices are based. Why does a worker with flexible work hours commute during rush hour? Our research adopts a comprehensive approach and focuses on daily scheduling demands. It relies on the results of a survey (3202 respondents) and interviews (29). Respondents and interviewees are executives from the Plaine Saint-Denis area. To describe temporal strategies that explain voluntary commuting during peak hours, we organize our hypotheses along three dimensions :(I) There remain coupling constraints (school hours, meeting hours) which force workers with flexible hours to go to work during peak hours. (II) Workers with flexible hours and fewer coupling constraints prefer (late afternoon leisure, activities with family and friends) to arrive before or during the rush hour. (III) There are social norms regarding work hours (ideal of the disciplined worker or the dedicated executive) that limit flexibility by frowning on those who arrive overly late at the office. Confirmation of these hypotheses opens the way to a renewed reading of the rush hour phenomenon in the age of flexibility: individualized (work) hours do not result in desynchronized (work) schedules. In conclusion, it is by revealing the organic intricacy of work synchronisation that our thesis generates operational recommendations for reducing congestion at peak hours

Introdução: As órteses são recursos terapêuticos auxiliares indicados para alívio da dor, melhora do padrão funcional ou aplicação de forças para correção de deformidades. Existe uma carência de estudos que analisem as alterações biomecânicas promovidas pelas órteses no padrão funcional do membro superior. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar os efeitos biomecânicos do ombro e do cotovelo com o uso de órteses funcionais em pacientes com disfunções decorrentes de traumas do sistema musculoesquelético. Métodos: O estudo analisou as alterações do padrão de movimento com o uso das órteses dinâmicas e estáticas por meio da análise cinemática e eletromiográfica do membro superior durante a realização de uma tarefa funcional padronizada, sendo que os controles serão os próprios pacientes. Os movimentos analisados foram flexão-extensão de ombro, abdução-adução de ombro, rotação interna-rotação externa de ombro, flexão-extensão de cotovelo, pronação-supinação. Na eletromiografia foi analisada a integral normalizada dos músculos trapézio superior, bíceps braquial e tríceps braquial. Além disso foi realizada dinamometria isométrica de preensão e pinças, bem como a aplicação do questionário QuickDASH sobre sintomatologia e funcionalidade. Foram incluídos 6 pacientes, maiores de 18 anos, com disfunções decorrentes de lesões nervosas periféricas e deformidades musculoesqueléticas decorrentes de artrite reumatóide, que tiveram indicação do uso de órtese. Resultados: embora as órteses estáticas sejam indicadas para correção de desvio ulnar e para bloqueio de garra mista, de acordo com os resultados deste estudo, não agregaram em termos de funcionalidade. Neste último modelo, um voluntário apresentou diferença clinicamente importante de 22,7 pontos, sinalizando piora da função na situação com órtese. Além disso, as órteses para bloqueio de garra mista demandaram maior recrutamento de trapézio superior e bíceps braquial. As órteses dinâmicas para lesão do nervo radial parecem favorecer a força de preensão estática, porém, promoveram compensações proximais durante a execução de tarefas dinâmicas, que envolveram elevação e deslocamento do membro superior, em termos de amplitude de movimento de abdução de ombro, flexão e pronação de cotovelo / Introduction: Orthoses are therapeutic resources that are indicated for pain relief, improvement of the functional pattern and / or to correct deformities. There is a lack of studies that analyze the biomechanical alterations promoted by the orthoses in the functional pattern of the upper limb. The aim of the present study was to analyze the biomechanical effects in shoulder and elbow promoted by orthoses in patients with upper extremity dysfunctions due to trauma of the musculoskeletal system. Methods: The range of motion and muscle activation was collected simultaneously during the performance of a standardized functional task with and witho no orthosis. The movements analyzed were shoulder flexion-extension, shoulder abduction-adduction, shoulder internal-external rotation, elbow flexion-extension, pronation-supination and the integrated electromyography signal of the upper trapezius, brachial bíceps and brachial triceps muscles were analyzed. In addition, isometric dynamometry of gripping and pinch, besides the application of the questionnaire QuickDASH about symptomatology and functionality. Were included six patients, older than 18 years, with peripheral nerve dysfunction and musculoskeletal deformities due to rheumatoid arthritis, who had indication of the use of orthosis. Results: although the static orthosis are indicated for correction of ulnar deviation and MCP extension-blocking, according to the results of this study, they did not add in terms of functionality. MCP extension-bloking orthosis promoted a clinically important difference of 22,7 points, suggesting worsing of the funtion. In addition, this model demanded greater proximal muscular recruitment of upper trapezius and brachial biceps. Dynamic orthoses for radial nerve injury seem to favor static grip strength, but they promoted proximal compensations during the execution of dynamic tasks, that involved elevation and displacement of the upper limb in terms of shoulder abduction, flexion and pronation of elbow

La thèse questionne la place d’interventions artistiques, telle que le spectacle vivant, auprès des professionnel/le/s de la petite enfance, travaillant dans les établissements d’accueil du jeune enfant (EAJE). Elle s’inscrit dans un contexte professionnel à deux niveaux. Le premier considère les dernières réformes juridiques et les contraintes financières, qui ont accru une rationalité instrumentale des institutions, et entraîné une recomposition des identités professionnelles. Le second étudie les caractéristiques du travail près des jeunes enfants, où les actes répétitifs sont nombreux, associés à une implication subjective et émotionnelle, imposant des références aux théories du care. Le cadre épistémologique de la thèse prend appui sur les fondements de l’histoire de l’Ecole de Chicago, les professionnel/le/s de la petite enfance sont alors considéré/e/s dans un rôle d’acteur/rice/s. Différents types de matériaux ont été collectés. Le premier a été la constitution d’un recueil et d’une analyse de la presse spécialisée de la petite enfance. Un deuxième a été la réalisation d’entretien semi-directifs avec des spécialistes de la petite enfance (2), de l’art (2), des institutions politiques (2). Le dernier a été un temps d’immersion, dans une crèche collective, le jour où est accueilli un spectacle de danse contemporaine, avec deux entretiens pour trois salarié/e/s : avant le spectacle et un mois après. La thèse met en lumière dans quelle mesure il/elle/s sont aussi les destinataires du spectacle. La thèse montre la construction de la posture de spectateur/rice, tout en étant professionnel/le, et des éléments de compréhension des relations entre les intervenant/e/s artistiques et les professionnel/le/s. Ces éléments sont pensés en tenant compte des différents paramètres pouvant constituer des freins, tout en considérant une valorisation de la vie quotidienne des jeunes enfants. / This PhD thesis deals with the use, by early childhood professionals working in establishment proving care for young children, of artistic intervention such as performing arts. Its inscription in a professional context is double. The first one takes into account the last legal reforms and financial constraints. Both participate to increase the use of an instrumental rationality inside these institutions leading to a reconfiguration of professionals’ identities. The second one highlights the different characteristics of such a work which requires many repetitive acts with a need of both emotional and subjective implication. References of the theory of care can therefore be useful.The epistemological framework of this research leans on the School of Chicago’s historical background, which mean that early childhood professionals are considered as actors.Different sets of data were collected. The first one was a compilation and analysis of early childhood specialized press. The second one was semi-structured interviews with experts of early childhood, arts and political institutions. The last one was an immersion inside a collaborative crèche, during the day of the performance of a contemporary dance show. Two interviews, one before the performance and another a month after, were conducted with three professionals of the crèche.This PhD thesis highlights that performing arts are also addressed to professionals of crèche. It shows how the posture of being a spectator is built by these professionals. It gives an understanding on the relationship between artists and professionals. It is thought by taking into account different parameters that can constitute brakes in this relationship as well as considering the valorization of the everyday life of young children.

Att vara förälder till ett barn med ADHD kan vara utmanande och innebära att hantera attityder från omgivningen. De upplever ofta en brist på stöd och svårigheter som påverkar hälsa och vardag negativt. Syftet med examensarbetet var att beskriva upplevd aktivitetsbalans hos föräldrar till barn med ADHD. Metoden var kvalitativ med semistrukturerade intervjuer och bekvämlighetsurval. Dataanalys gjordes med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att vardagen hos föräldrar till barn med ADHD innebar mycket tid för stöttning av barnen. Bemötande och stöd från barnens skola påverkade föräldrarnas välmående och vardag. Det krävdes ett flexibelt arbetsschema samt förstående arbetsgivare och kollegor för att kunna finnas tillgänglig för barnen under arbetstid. Det fanns behov av struktur och prioriteringar i vardagen då varken tid eller ork räckte till. Brist på tid medförde avsaknad av återhämtning och tid för sig själva, vilket påverkade tillfredsställelsen i vardagen. Slutsats var att föräldrar till barn med ADHD har en vardag som är fokuserad på barnens behov. De brister som deltagarna uppger gällande aktiviteterna i deras vardag kan tolkas ha en negativ effekt på deras upplevda aktivitetsbalans. Examensarbetet ses som en möjlig start till diskussion och ökad uppmärksamhet av målgruppens behov. Dock behövs fler och mer omfattande studier i ämnet. / Parenting children with ADHD can be challenging and involve coping with surrounding attitudes. They often experience a lack of support and difficulties that have negative impact on health and daily life. The purpose of this study was to describe experienced occupational balance in parents of children with ADHD. A qualitative method with semi-structured interviews and convenience sampling was used. Data was analyzed with qualitative content analysis. The result showed that everyday life of parents to children with ADHD involves a lot of time supporting their children. Treatment and support from the children’s school influenced the parents’ well-being and daily life. A flexible work schedule and understanding employers and co-workers were necessary for being accessible to their children. Structure and prioritizing were needed in everyday life since neither amount of time nor energy was sufficient. Lack of time resulted in absence of rest and time for themselves, which affected their life satisfaction. The conclusion was that parents of children with ADHD have everyday lives that focus on the children’s needs. The deficits that are described regarding everyday activities could be interpreted as a lack of occupational balance. This study is an opportunity to start discussion and increase attention to the needs of the target group. However, more research is required.

Este trabalho acadêmico pretende demonstrar que a produção cronística de Raul Pompéia está centrada em uma relação da linguagem jornalística com a literária, com imbricações entre essas duas vertentes. A metáfora é de um serpentear que desliza entre as mesmas. O subjetivismo de Pompéia campeia tanto em uma ética jornalística compromissada com a transformação e aprimoramento da sociedade. O corpus selecionado para demonstrar o objetivo acima são as crônicas jornalísticas desse autor, publicadas no jornal O Estado de São Paulo, no período de 1890 a 1893 e compiladas por Afrânio Coutinho no vol VIII, Crônicas 3, das páginas 39 a 317. Desse corpus foram selecionadas 06 delas. A esse recorte, em alguns momentos, foram acrescidos excertos de outras crônicas, a medida do necessário para fazer a demonstração do que se pretendia. Alguns teóricos básicos foram selecionados para sedimentar cientificamente essas idéias: Teun A. van Dijk, Gonzalo Martin Vivaldi, Vitor Manuel de Aguiar e Silva, Emil Staiger, entre outros. Percebeu-se que Pompéia adiantava alguns conceitos do newsmaking (gatekeeper e agenda setting). Além disso, as marcas de enunciação dessas crônicas evidenciaram uma preocupação do autor com o público leitor em busca de um feedback. |Assim sendo, percebeu-se a importância desse estudo para o jornalismo, a crônica jornalística, a literatura do séc. XIX, entre outros. / This project work intends to show that the production of chronicles of Raul Pompéia is centered between on a relationship of the journalism language with literary , with ovelaps between both. The metaphor is a snake that glides between them. The subjectivism of Pompéia is a rife in both a journalistic ethics commited to the transformation and improvement of society. The corpus selected to demonstrate the objectives above are the journalistic chonicles of this author, publicated in the daily O Estado de São Paulo , in the period 1890 to 1893 and compiled by Afrânio Coutinho, in vol VIII, Crônicas 3, pages 39 to 317. This corpus has been selected 06 of them. In this clip, at times, were added excerpts of other chronicles , to the extent necessaru to make a demonstration of what was intended. Some of basic theoretical sediment were selected for these scientific ideas.: Teun A. van Dijk, Gonzalo Martin Vivaldi, Vitor Manuel de Aguiar e Silva, Emil Staiger, among others. It was noticed that Pompéia preents some concepts of newsmaking (gatekeeper and agenda setting). Moreover, the marks of enunciation of these chronicles showed a concern of the author with his readers in search of feedback. Therefore, realized the improtance of this study for journalism, journalistic chronicle, the literature of century XIX, among others.

Esta dissertação tem como tema a formação de professores para os anos iniciais da escolarização, oferecido ao longo dos séculos XIX e XX. A partir de um estudo de caso, é dedicada à investigação da implantação da Escola Normal, no Colégio Estadual Antonio Raposo Tavares, bem como, das transformações sofridas por este curso, seus avanços e recuos, durante os quarenta anos de sua existência (1964-2004). A justificativa deste trabalho parte da acepção de que a atividade humana pode tornar-se objeto de estudo do historiador em suas diferentes manifestações, testemunhadas por diversas formas de registro. Consequentemente, foi elegido como objeto de pesquisa, um curso de formação de professores primários específico, visando a análise de suas transformações na segunda metade do século XX, colaborando com a compreensão de uma, entre muitas outras, manifestações escolares da época. Para entender o sucesso alcançado por ele, buscou-se a contextualização da cidade onde foi implantado, a partir da análise da produção historiográfica; a caracterização desta modalidade de ensino, observando-se a produção acadêmica e a legislação dirigida a este curso; e, finalmente, buscou-se o cotidiano do curso desenvolvido na escola pública estadual Antonio Raposo Tavares, por meio de depoimentos de pessoas que vivenciaram a escola, bem como, pela análise de documentos escolares como atas de reuniões, registro de matriculas, planejamentos, e, notícias de jornais. Enfrentando o ciclo de vida (que abrange vida, desenvolvimento e morte) dessa instituição, objetiva-se, oferecer uma melhor compreensão dos processos escolares ocorridos ao longo da história. / This dissertation deals with the training of teachers for the early years of schooling, offered throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From a case study, is devoted to research the implementation of the Normal School in the public high school \"Antonio Raposo Tavares,\" as well as the transformations undergone by this course, its advances and retreats during the forty years of its existence (1964-2004). The justification for this work comes from the meaning that human activity can become an object of study of the historian in its various forms, witnessed by different forms of registration. Consequently, was elected as subject of research, a training course for primary teachers specific, aimed at examining its transformation in the second half of the twentieth century. To understand the success achieved by him, we sought to contextualize the city where it was deployed from the analysis of historical production, the characterization of this mode of teaching, observing the production academic and the legislation directed to this course, and finally, aimed to analyze the daily course developed in the public school \"Antonio Raposo Tavares, through testimonials of people who lived the school as well as through analysis of school documents such as minutes of meetings, the record of enrollments, planning, and newspapers. Facing the life cycle (which includes life, development and death) of this institution, we aim to offer a better understanding of school processes that occurred throughout history.
