A presente dissertação buscou analisar se, e como, o Ensino por Investigação pode promover o Engajamento Disciplinar Produtivo (EDP) entre alunos de uma turma da disciplina Física do terceiro de ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública estadual localizada na periferia da cidade de São Paulo. Num primeiro momento e no âmbito escolar, o EDP pode ser entendido como um indicador do grau de envolvimento com os temas e práticas de uma disciplina. Para tratar o tema, realizamos revisão bibliográfica entre trabalhos da área de pesquisa em ensino de ciências e física sobre o envolvimento de estudantes nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem na educação formal. Também estudamos trabalhos relacionados ao Ensino por Investigação e o estabelecimento de interações discursivas em sala de aula. Estes estudos permitiram propor indicadores de engajamento, de engajamento disciplinar e de engajamento disciplinar produtivo que foram utilizados na análise de episódios ocorridos em sala de aula. Os dados analisados nesta pesquisa são constituídos por aulas gravadas integralmente em vídeo, além de todo material didático a eles disponibilizado durante a aplicação da de uma sequência de ensino investigativa que versava sobre o tema \"Dualidade onda-partícula\". Pela análise da fala dos alunos, durante as atividades, e pelas interações dos mesmos com o professor e entre si, pudemos observar que, em vários momentos das atividades propostas nas aulas, houve um engajamento da turma, ficando este bastante condicionado às ações do professor. / This thesis aimed to assess whether, and how, Teaching through Investigation can promote the Disciplinary Productive Engagement (DPE) of a group of high school Physics class students, from a public school located in the suburbs of Sao Paulo. DPE can be understood as an indicator of the degree of involvement in a class with the themes and practices of a discipline. To address the research subject, we conducted a literature review of research in science education and physics, and the involvement of students in the teaching and learning processes in formal education. We also reviewed studies about Teaching through Investiagtion, and the establishment of discursive interactions in the classroom. These studies allowed proposing engagement indicators, disciplinary engagement and productive disciplinary engagement that were used in the analysis of episodes that occurred in the classroom. The data analyzed in this study consist of classes recorded entirely in video, plus all teaching materials available to them during the application of an Investigative Teaching Sequence; which was about the theme \"wave-particle duality.\" By analyzing the speech of the students during the activities, and the interactions with the teacher and each other, it was observed engagement of the class several times during the activities proposed. However, the engagement was conditioned by teacher\'s actions.

Research realised by the public sector leads to new knowledge. To achieve economic growth of the country, it is necessary that the results of such research could be useful for innovation in the private sector. It can be achieved by cooperation of both sectors. The government of the Czech Republic supports such cooperation since 2014, through the option for businesses to include costs of R&D services and intangible results of R&D purchased from public universities or public research institutions in the tax deduction for research and development. It can be also better used by small and medium enterprises, but the total amount of this tax incentive decreased in 2014 as compared with 2013. The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse the reasons for the low utilization rate of tax deduction for research and development and low levels of cooperation on R&D between enterprises and public sector, primarily universities.

M.A. (Sociology) / South Africa's child protection system is widely reported to be in disarray, delivering deficient and fragmented services, which facilitate the occurrence of 'secondary abuse, compounded by the lack of information on the prevailing scenario in the country. This research study formed part of a national development project, aimed at investigating and improving the delivery of integrated child protection services. The study focused on the current levels of service delivery and the need for services integration in a multi-disciplinary, intersectoral system. Employing a multi-methodology Intervention Research strategy, the conceptual framework for the investigation was based on an open systems perspective. The research findings, generated by a national situation analysis of provincial and sectoral service providers, confirmed the interrelated prevalence of both inefficient service delivery levels and the urgent need for the integration of services. The results facilitated the drafting of provincial strategies, aimed at the improvement of service delivery and the inductive construction of a generic provincial model, while a national conference of service providers generated a proposed national integration strategy, based on a process model. The research has not only contributed towards the integration of child protection services, but also to the current transformation of the child protection system in South Africa.

The thesis focuses on theoretical and empirical analysis of the EU research policy and its impacts. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate effects of this policy on the financial management of universities, or more precisely the impact of financial rules defined by the European Commission (EC) in the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) on the development of full cost methodologies at universities in the EU27. The thesis also analyzes the process of the preparation of the new FP8 HORIZON 2020 financial rules and asses if feedback and needs of participating universities are reflected and thus principles of European good governance are applied. In order to meet its goals, the thesis states three hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: Universities from the EU27 that participate in FP7 develop full cost methodologies. Hypothesis 2: EC requirements in FP7 are one of the main drivers to implement full cost methodologies for universities form EU27. Hypothesis 3: Universities from the EU27 communicate development of their full cost methodologies with the EC. The thesis is organized into four chapters. The first one characterizes the concept of European good governance and one of its instruments, i.e. policy evaluation and its use in the thesis (including the analysis of performed questionnaire research). Second chapter defines the term of financial management and its use in the thesis. Third chapter describes the EU research policy, its historical development, main instruments (FPs), role of European institutions and attitude to full costing. The last forth chapter analyzes in details experience of universities form EU27 with development of full cost methodologies. Within its conclusions, the thesis proves that the EU research policy significantly influences the financial management of universities from EU27 and implementation of full cost methodologies by them. It is inter alia proved, that 70 % of universities from the EU27 that do not implement full costing in FP7 yet plan to introduce such methodologies in the future; that FP7 financial rules are drivers to implement full cost methodologies for almost 2/3 universities from the EU27 participating in FP7 and that 3/4 of universities form EU27 applying full costing in FP7 consulted on their methodologies with the EC. All three hypotheses thus were verified. Nevertheless, it was concluded that principles of European good governance are not satisfactory applied by the EC, because it does not support the use of full costing in HORIZON 2020 anymore.

Diploma thesis "The cooporation of national daily press and agencies for research of public opinion in the Czech republic" attempts to describe from the practical point of view how mutual cooperation of agencies for public opinion research and the media, especially the press, looks. The chapters of theoretical part of diploma thesis deal with the historical development of public opinion researches in our country where the year 1989 is stressed as the separation turning-point and the foreign studies about the relation of public opinion polls and media. In the practical part of diploma thesis is detailed analysis of media presentation of public opinion polls in the press. At first it compares the different approach of the journalists and sociologists to the work with the informations about public opinion polls and then the way of media processing of public opinion polls in the newspaper in two different historical periods, namely in 1991 and 2009. The analysed materil contained the press releases by IVVM and by CVVM of the first five months 1991 and 2009 and the press articles where the journalists used the informations from this press releases. The media act in the diploma thesis in part as the users of informations about public opinion polls and in part as the initiators of these polls. The staff...

Com o desenvolvimento das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) e, principalmente, a partir dos anos 90, com a criação da World Wide Web, a forma de registro e acesso à informação foram modificadas. Passa-se do papel para o registro eletrônico e a informação que, anteriormente, estava condicionada ao seu local de armazenamento passa a ser acessada remotamente, a qualquer hora do dia. Se, por um lado, os avanços tecnológicos provocaram mudanças significativas, principalmente no que diz respeito ao armazenamento e divulgação do conhecimento, por outro, surgiram questões importantes. Diante desse cenário é que, ao menos nos últimos anos, os processos analisados pela Ciência da Informação (CI) foram influenciados pelos avanços das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação. Nesse sentido, entender como a CI lida com as novas tecnologias surge como tarefa necessária, inclusive porque as mudanças tecnológicas ocorrem de forma cada vez mais acelerada no mundo contemporâneo. O trabalho trata-se de uma dessas tentativas de compreensão, tendo-se como premissa que a partir de análise desses avanços tecnológicos é possível estabelecer uma linha do tempo com indicações das mudanças, que refletiram diretamente nos processos de armazenamento e uso da informação. Nesse sentido, o objetivo da pesquisa foi traçar um panorama sobre a inserção das TICs na Ciência da Informação. Para isto, foram analisados os trabalhos apresentados no Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação (EnANCIB) de 1994 até 2012. Do conjunto de 1913 comunicações apresentadas nas 13 edições do evento, foram selecionados 387 trabalhos, por tratarem de questões relacionadas aos avanços tecnológicos. As comunicações foram analisadas e classificadas segundo o tipo de abordagem dos trabalhos: Uso de ferramentas ou Análise reflexiva. Em seguida os trabalhos foram analisados em relação à temática, baseadando-se nos descritores de cada comunicação. Observa-se que a maior parte (82%) dos trabalhos apresentam uma reflexão crítica sobre as TICs e apenas 18% tratam do uso de ferramenta. Em relação à temática, os trabalhos foram classificados em 25 descritores dos quais os seis mais citados representam 80% dos trabalhos. Observa-se a posição de destaque do descritor Internet, que representa 45% dos trabalhos, aparecendo em seguida,Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação (15%), Redes (6%), Biblioteca digital (5%), Publicações eletrônicas (5%) e Ciberespaço (4%). O trabalho permitiu elaborar uma visão geral dos avanços das tecnologias de informação e comunicação e seus reflexos no campo científico da Ciência da Informação, sendo assim, foi possível analisar as variáveis que interferem nos processos da área, possibilitando reflexões que possam garantir a adequação de produtos e serviços às necessidades do usuário em contextos específicos. / With the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and especially since the 90s, when the era of the World Wide Web emerged, the way to access information has changed. We move from paper to electronic records and the information that was previously subject to its storage location is then accessed remotely, at any time of day. If, on the one hand, technological advances brought about significant changes, particularly with regard to the storage, and dissemination of knowledge, on the other, important issues emerged. Faced with this scenario is that, at least in recent years, the processes analyzed by Information Science (CI) were influenced by the advances of Information and Communication. In this sense, understanding how CI handles new technology emerges as a necessary task, especially because technological changes are occurring in ever faster in contemporary society. This present work is one such attempt of these understandings, having premised that from earlier analysis of these technological advances, it is possible to establish a time line with indications of changes, which directly reflected in the processes of storage and use of information. Accordingly, the objective of this research was to find out about the integration of ICT in Information Science. For this, there have been analyses of works presented at the National Research and Graduate Studies in Information Science (ENANCIB) from 1994 until 2012. From the set of 1913 communications presented in 13 editions of the event, there were selected 387 works by addressing issues related to technological advances. The communications were analyzed and classified according to the type of work approaches: Using tools or Reflective Analysis. Then the works were studied in relation to the theme, based on the descriptors of each type of communication. It was observed that the majority (82%) of the works present a critical reflection on ICTs and only 18% treat the use of tools. In relation to the theme, the works were classified into 25 descriptors of which the six most cited represent 80% of the reports. It was observed that to the prominent position of the descriptor Internet, representing 45% of the work, appearing then Information Technology and Communication (15%), Networking (6%), digital library (5%), Electronic Publications (5%) and Cyberspace (4%). The study elaborated an overview of advances in information and communication technologies and their impact in the scientific subject of information science, so it was possible to analyze the variables that influence the processes in the field, allowing reflections that can ensure the adequacy products and services to user needs in specific contexts.

M.Cur. / The Rights of the Child are summarised in the Convention of the Rights of the Child. The Convention sets the basic rights of children for their survival, development and protection. The purpose of this research is to investigate the view of the Nursing staff working in Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in a Private Clinic on the West Rand, regarding the rights of the child, and to describe the view of the Nursing staff regarding the rights of the child as applicable within the context of a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in a Private Clinic on the West Rand.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Technology dependent children such as those who require a feeding tube, tracheotomy or ventilator are a special group of chronically ill children who require complex care on a daily basis. When these children are hospitalized, the accompanying parent and the nurse caring for the child on the inpatient unit must communicate together about the care of the child. Care for the technology dependent child is optimized when parents and nurses both understand the plan of care for the child. To discover the process of parent-nurse communication that results in mutual understanding of the child’s plan of care, a grounded theory study to explore the perspectives of the parents of previously hospitalized technology dependent children was undertaken. The Theory of Shared Communication emerged from the data and illuminates the parent-nurse communication process. The antecedents of the process are respect for own and others expertise. The communication process consists of six communication behaviors; ask, listen, explain, advocate, verify understanding and negotiate roles. The behaviors are nested within each other and all are not necessarily required for the non-linear process to result in the relational outcome of mutual understanding of the child’s plan of care. An integrative review of the literature regarding the process of communication between parents of hospitalized chronically ill children and their nurses shed light on the components of the process, but no study was found that explicated the entire communication process. A subsequent grounded theory study added the perspectives of the nurses to the original theory. No new components of the process were uncovered, but the nurse’s narratives added significantly to our understanding of the communication process. Additionally, parents of currently hospitalized technology dependent children confirmed the propositions of the Theory of Shared Communication.
