Mgr. Jana Majzlíková - Ideál hasiče a ideál supervizanta - snášejí se? ABSTRACT The work focuses on the question whether it is appropriate to the environment work with firefighters to implement supervision and, if so, how. For this purpose, the work compared the ideal of firefighters, what firefighters have themselves, and the ideal of supervisee what have supervisors, and examined their mutual compatibility. The research design was based on a qualitative approach. The data obtained from interviews with firefighters, supervisors, and from the focus group with firefighters were analyzed using analysis of qualitative data (open coding, thematic analysis). First, research has shown that the ideal of firefighters dominates gratitude for their work and willingness to help others. There is experience in supervision and open sharing stories about clients in the first place of the ideal of supervisee. Next, in both cultural ideals in addition include a common interest in people, understanding for others, tolerance, responsiveness to the needs of clients and people affected by a critical incident, empathy, empathic listening, interest in discussion and accessibility to the opinions of others. In both studied cultural environments courage is also appreciated. The supervisee must have the personal bravery "have skin...

Knowing the processes involving the professional choice of the military firefighters and understanding how the firefighter character is built considering the continuous exposure to human suffering were the goals established for the development of this research which had as a main stage the 17th Mogi das Cruzes City Firefighter s Brigade of the São Paulo State. Through the qualitative approach with the analysis of the data obtained from the interviews made, it was possible to understand which elements are present in the moment of the professional choice and the resources used by these individuals in the construction of the firefighter character. The training undertaken and the socialization that takes place among them were the main factor identified in the process of the professional identity construction / Trata-se de uma pesquisa envolvendo indivíduos enseridos no universo militar da Corporação de Bombeiros de São Paulo que apresentam como atividade principal salvar vidas . Conhecer os processos que envolvem a escolha profissional dos bombeiros militares e compreender como ocorre a construção do personagem bombeiro considerando a contínua exposição ao sofrimento humano, foram os objetivos criados para a realização dessa pesquisa, que teve como palco principal o 17º Grupamento de Bombeiros do Município de Mogi das Cruzes do Estado de São Paulo. Através de uma abordagem qualitativa om a análise de conteúdo das entrevistas realizadas foi possível compreender quais elementos estão presentes no momento da escolha profissional e os recursos utilizados por esses indivíduos na construção do personagem bombeiro. A formação recebida e a socialização ocorrida entre eles foi o principal fator identificado no processo de construção dessa identidade profissional

In recent years, distance courses combining online studies with physical meetings on campus have become increasingly common as an alternative to regular campus courses, even in vocational training programs with extensive practical skills components. This thesis is focused on the implementation of distance firefighter training in Sweden and the ways in which this intervention has affected training activities and participants, as well as on the impact that historical and contextual training aspects have had on the implementation process. Based on a sociocultural and activity theory framework, a longitudinal, comparative study was made of the distance and campus study modes, focusing on those challenges, contradictions and changes resulting from this intervention that have had the greatest impact on the students’ learning processes, the instructors’ teaching roles and the basic training program as a whole. Four data collections were made over a period of about five years. The data consisted of interviews with students and instructors, observations of practical exercises, logbook notes and general documents pertaining to the training programme. Three phases were identified in the implementation, viz. an introduction phase, an extension phase and a consolidation phase. The introduction phase was characterized by a focus on instructor-driven approaches where the instructors’ traditional one-way knowledge transfer approach to teaching was gradually re-assessed, which made possible the introduction of a technology-supported, more process-oriented and student-centered course design. This resulted in the distance students beginning to take greater individual responsibility for their studies than the campus students, who proved to be more dependent on the knowledge imparted by their instructors. The extension phase, during which other instructors, usually with little experience of technology-supported teaching, and additional student groups were included in the distance training, was characterized by a normalization of the changes brought about during the introduction phase, meaning that, to some extent, they tended to shift in the direction of the traditional knowledge transfer and practice-oriented approaches of the campus training mode. This tendency can be attributed to conflicts between the instructors’ conceptions of the online learning environment and their views of how vocational training should be conducted. The manner in which they dealt with these conflicts can be summarized as quiet resistance, manifested by reduced online presence, less support to the distance students and a continued focus on their commitments on the campus program. Over time, this appears to have resulted in the distance students adapting their study strategies to the dominating attitudes in the training program and spending less time interacting online. Although these patterns also occurred in the consolidation phase, it would appear that during this phase the distance students developed their own goal-oriented and self-directed learning strategies. An important conclusion of this thesis is that the traditional attitudes commonly found in the firefighter profession had less impact on the distance students’ learning processes than on those of the campus students. Furthermore, it was found that the implementation of the distance mode was a catalyst that brought to light conflicting views about the program’s goals and core content, and contributed to established attitudes to teaching and learning being challenged. However, it also contributed to some extent to changes in the approaches to teaching. Finally, the thesis demonstrates that the gradual changes in course design and the division of responsibility between instructors and students in the technology-supported distance mode resulted in the students becoming more goal-oriented, more focused on exercise preparations and better able to participate in exercises in a manner that deepened their understanding of the complexity of exercises.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how career listings are interpreted from a recipient perspective. We intend to investigate if Gästrike Räddningstjänst’s job advertisements create ideas about the firefighter. The study aims to answer the following questions: How are gender, norm and sexes conveyed in two job ads from Gästrike Räddningstjänst? What conceptions about the firefighter does the recipient who reads the job ads create? How do women in the ages of 20–25 years, who are living in Gävle interpret job ads from Gästrike Räddningstjänst, in relation to a norm breaking employment advertisement? Theoretical introduction: This case study has been based on several theories about gender, norms and the biological gender. Material and method: Barthes semiotic model for denotation and connotation are being used for image analysis. The study is based on two employment advertisements from Gästrike Räddningstjänst and reception analysis with semi structured interviews. The interviews have been conducted with six informants. Stuart Halls reception model are being used for analysing the interviews. Result: Through image and text analysis we were able to identify that the job ads from Gästrike Räddningstjänst conveys gender and norm throughout image and text, and both combined. This case study has demonstrated that Gästrike Räddningstjänst's employment advertisements create conceptions about whom the firefighter is. By creating a job ad that challenges the standard of communicating the firefighter the informants did not only negotiate about who can become a firefighter but also about gender equality and diversity.

These stressful situations may cause to this professional a physiological disorder that chronically can lead to the onset of other cardiovascular diseases. Our proposal was the identification of the type of stress and its symptoms, and the hemodynamic and metabolic alterations that can effect from daily routine experiences throughout its operational career. The study compared a group of firefighters GB (n = 52), working in the operational business for over 5 years, with a control group, CO (n = 52), representing the general population. These two groups were composed by healthy volunteers who concluded a clinical evaluation before applying the tests. Data were matched by age, sex and race and calculated by weight, height, body mass index and anthropometric measurements of neck circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-hip ratio. The autonomic evaluation was performed by the frequency meter Polar device (model RS800) through the heart rate variability evaluated in time (SDNN, RMSSD and variance) and frequency (HF, LF and HF / LF) domain. The stress rate was performed by psychosocial adjustment scale Holmes-Rahe via a score that classifies the probability of potential professional illness. The hemodynamic evaluation was performed by non-invasive indirect technique with Hypertension Diagnosis Incorporation (H.D.I), with the variables systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), pulse pressure, cardiac output (CO), impedance, systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and elasticity index of large and small arteries. Commercial kits were used for biochemical data (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, creatinine, uric acid, urea and glucose). It was verified that the autonomic assessment indexes SDNN (39.5 ± 3.0 ms), VARR (1734.4 ± 238.9 ms2) and RMSSD (23.5 ± 2.4 ms) were significantly lower (p<0.05) in GB than CO: SDNN (59.9 ± 5.6 ms), VARR (4108.3 ± 752.4 ms2), RMSSD (45.1 ± 7.8 ms), and higher for GB LF/HF (3.6 ± 0.4) than CO (2.3 ± 0.2). For the stress perception there was no difference between groups. The Hemodynamic data was significantly higher (p<0.05) for the GB with SBP (131.1 ± 1.8 seg/cm5), FC (81.2 ± 1.6 bpm), SVR (1234 ± 23.8 seg/cm5), impedance (125.0 ± 5.9 seg/cm5) and DC (5.7 ± 0.09 L/min ) in relation to CO which showed systolic blood pressure (125 ± 16.8 mmhg), FC (71.1 ± 1.4 bpm), SVR (1141 ± 32.5 seg/cm5), impedance (104.5 ± 3.9 seg/cm5), DC (5.0 ± 0.1 L/min) and biochemistry profile with significantly higher (p<0.05) values for the GB in CT (203 ± 4.9 mg/dL), HDL (47.6 ± 1.4 mg/dL), creatinine (1.1 ± 0.09 mg/dL) and glucose (99.0 ± 2.4 mg/dL) than CO with CT (163.5 ± 4.5 mg/dL), HDL (39.8 ± 1.5 mg/dL), creatinine (1,0 ± 0,02 mg/dL) and glucose (89,8 ± 1,1 mg/dL). Through the results it was concluded that the autonomic balance was worst in the firefighter than in control group. The results of anthropometric, hemodynamic and metabolic profile also were worst in the firefighters. It suggests a possible susceptibility for cardiovascular disease development in firefighters. / O bombeiro tem em sua rotina diária situações que o coloca em risco físico e psicológico constantemente. Essas situações são agentes estressores que fazem com que este profissional seja suscetível a alterações de ordem fisiológicas, que de forma crônica podem levar ao aparecimento de doenças como as de origem cardiovascular. A nossa proposta foi identificar se o estresse pode resultar em alterações autonômicas, hemodinâmicas e metabólicas em bombeiros. Foi feita a comparação de um grupo de bombeiros denominado GB (n=52), que trabalha na atividade operacional há mais de 5 anos, com um grupo controle, denominado CO (n=52), representando a população em geral. Os dois grupos foram voluntários sadios que passaram por uma avaliação clínica antes da aplicação de todos os testes. Os dados foram pareados pela idade, sexo e raça e realizado medida de peso, altura, índice de massa corpórea, circunferência cervical, circunferência abdominal, circunferência do quadril e relação cintura-quadril. A avaliação autonômica foi feita pelo aparelho frequencímetro Polar (modelo RS800), por meio da avaliação da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca no domínio do tempo (SDNN, RMSSD e Variância) e da frequência (HF, LF e relação HF/LF). A percepção do estresse foi realizada pela escala de reajustamento psicossocial Holmes-Rahe por um escore que classifica a probabilidade de adoecimento do profissional. A avaliação hemodinâmica foi realizada pela técnica indireta não invasiva com o Hypertension Diagnosis Incorporation (H.D.I), pelas variáveis pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), pressão arterial diastólica (PAD), pressão arterial média (PAM), frequência cardíaca (FC), pressão de pulso, débito cardíaco (DC), impedância, resistência vascular sistêmica (RVS) e índice de elasticidade de pequenas e grandes artérias. Os dados bioquímicos para o perfil metabólico (colesterol total, triglicérides, HDL-colesterol, LDL-coleserol, creatinina, ácido úrico, ureia e glicose) foram feitos por Kits comerciais. Os índices de SDNN (39,5 ± 3,0 ms), VARR (1734,4 ± 238,9 ms2) e RMSSD (23,5 ± 2,4 ms) na avaliação autonômica foram significativamente menores (p<0,05) no GB do que o CO: SDNN (59,9 ± 5,5 ms), VARR (4108,3 ± 752,4 ms2) e RMSSD (45,1 ± 7,8 ms). O componente LF/HF foi maior no GB (3,6 ± 0,4) do que no CO (2,3 ± 0,2). Em relação a percepção do estresse não houve diferença entre os grupos. Os dados hemodinâmicos: PAS (131,1 ± 1,8 mmHg), FC (81,2 ± 1,6 bpm), RVS (1.234 ± 23,8 seg/cm5), impedância (125.0 ± 5,9 seg/cm5) e DC (5,7 ± 0,1 L/min) foram significativamente maiores (p<0,05) para o GB em relação ao CO: PAS (125 ± 16,8 mmHg), FC (71,1 ± 1,4 bpm), RVS (1.141 ± 32,5 seg/cm5), impedância (104,5 ± 3,9 seg/cm5) e DC (5,1 ± 0,1 L/min). Em relação aos dados bioquímicos, os valores de colesterol total (203 ± 4,9 mg/dL), HDL (47,6 ± 1,4 mg/dL), creatinina (1,1 ± 0,09 mg/dL) e glicose (99,1 ± 2,4 mg/dL) foram significativamente maiores (p<0,05) no GB em relação ao CO: colesterol total (163,5 ± 4,5 mg/dL), HDL (39,8 ± 1,5 mg/dL), creatinina (1,0 ± 0,02 mg/dL) e glicose (89,8 ± 1,1 mg/dL). Os dados obtidos mostram um pior balanço autonômico, sobretudo no domínio do tempo, no GB. Os dados antropométricos, hemodinâmicos e o perfil metabólico também são piores no GB do que o CO. Os resultados obtidos nesse estudo apontam para uma possibilidade de maior risco cardiovascular nos bombeiros quando comparados com o grupo controle.
