SUMMARY: This thesis deals with canine assisted therapy as a support in the development of social skills and communication of children with autism spectrum disorder and is based on the professional literature and analysis of the therapy's influence on the development of personality in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. The introduction describes autism spectrum disorders, emphasising their social characteristics and communication of individuals with autism spectrum disorders. The second part deals with canine assisted therapy, its methods and forms, as well as, its specific pedagogical use. The third part of the thesis studies the case of a boy with autism spectrum disorder who regularly attended canine assisted therapy. This thesis uses the following methodology: analysis of professional literature, participant observation, informal interview, questionnaire, video analysis and the case study data analysis. This thesis concludes in the finding that canine assisted therapy supports the development of social skills and non-verbal communication of children with autism spectrum disorder. The support of canine assisted therapy in the development of verbal communication of children with autism spectrum disorder was not proven. The results gained in this thesis may contribute to a more frequent use of...

Cette étude envisage le réseau internet comme un nouvel espace invitant à réinterpréter les libertés de la personne physique. Au titre de celles-ci, sont protégées la liberté individuelle, entendue comme le fait de ne pouvoir être arbitrairement détenu et la liberté d’aller et venir. Il doit en aller de même sur le réseau. Etablissant une analogie avec ces libertés, la première partie de la thèse consacre deux libertés : la liberté d’accès au réseau et la liberté de naviguer sur le web. La première implique de définir le contenu d’un service public de l’accès. De plus, il faut affirmer que la coupure d’accès au réseau doit être envisagée comme une mesure privative de liberté ; elle ne peut donc être décidée que par le juge judiciaire. L’affirmation de la liberté de naviguer sur le web conduit à envisager le régime du blocage des sites, une mesure qui ne peut intervenir que dans le cadre d’une police administrative spéciale. Dans la seconde partie il apparaît que ces deux libertés n’ont toutefois de sens que si l’individu a accès au réseau anonymement et n’est pas surveillé arbitrairement quand il navigue sur le web. Cette étude cherche ainsi à préciser le régime devant encadrer le mécanisme d’adressage du réseau. Sont définies les conditions du contrôle de l’identité de l’internaute à partir de son adresse IP. Enfin, il est soutenu qu’un principe général d’effacement des données révélant les sites visités doit être affirmé, principe qui s’applique aux différents acteurs du réseau, notamment les moteurs de recherche. L’interception de ces données ne peut procéder que d’un pouvoir sécuritaire ou hiérarchique sur l’internaute. / This study considers the internet as a new territory where rights guaranteed to each individual in physical space can be promoted; not only free speech and privacy, but also the Habeas Corpus prerogative writ, which protects against unlawful imprisonment, and the right to freedom of movement. Thus, processing by analogy, the dissertation intends to promote two specific digital rights: the freedom to connect to the internet and the freedom to surf on the web. The freedom to connect should be part of a public service which promotes this access through public policies. Moreover, barring someone from using the internet can only be decided by a judge. The freedom to surf should protect the web users against unreasonable restrictions. Thus, measures blocking illegal websites should not come through self-regulation but through a legal framework which defines how administrative authorities are entitled to decide such restrictions. The protection of these two rights entails further obligations. Individuals must access the internet anonymously and they must be aware of how the government monitors their actions on the web. This study tries to outline the content of measures aiming to frame network addressing mechanisms. Identity checks based on the IP address should be subject to a strict legal regime. The study concludes that individuals have to be protected from surveillance when data reveal their choices among websites while they are connected. Internet access providers, but also search engines and browsers, must delete this data. Only special measures taken by a public entity or someone entitled to control the web users may lead to this kind of data retention.

Il existe aujourd’hui un intérêt managérial et académique à analyser les comportements de consommation des jeunes marocains de 8 à 24 ans spectateurs de football et pratiquants de jeux vidéo de football. D’une part, un intérêt managérial car ces jeunes marocains constituent un débouché majeur et une source de recettes pour le secteur du football au Maroc. D’autre part, un intérêt académique car peu de travaux existent dans la littérature marketing internationale et marocaine portant sur les comportements de cette population. Le concept d’identité, dont l’application est particulièrement pertinente à cette catégorie d’adolescents, nous semble central pour enrichir la compréhension de ces comportements. Dans cette perspective, notre travail doctoral vise à montrer l’importance de la prise en compte de la double identité jeune et marocaine en relation avec d’autres variables plus classiques (environnementales, sociodémographiques et expérientielles), lorsqu’il s'agit de consommations passionnées et (ou) partisanes des spectacles de football et des jeux vidéo de football. À partir d’une approche exploratoire qualitative et quantitative, notre recherche permet de mettre en évidence des profils de jeunes marocains spectateurs et joueurs, et d'étudier la relation entre leur consommation des spectacles de football et de jeux vidéo de football. De plus, cette étude met en avant l’émergence d’une nouvelle consommation féminine et connectée des spectacles de football. Au final, nos résultas peuvent permettre aux gestionnaires d’adapter leurs politiques de distribution et de communication des jeux vidéo et des spectacles de football à ces segments. / Nowadays, there is a managerial and academic interest in analyzing the consumption behavior of moroccan football spectators and football video game players aged between 8 and 24. A managerial interest because the young Moroccans constitute a major market and a source of revenue for the football sector in Morocco and an academic interest considering the lack of research in the international and Moroccan marketing literature concerning these types of behaviors. The concept of identity is particularly important to explain the behavior of this category of adolescents. In this perspective, our doctoral work aims to show the importance of the young and Moroccan identity in relation to other more traditional variables (environmental, socio-demographic and experiential), when it is related to passionate and (or) partisan consumption of football shows and football video games. Through a qualitative and quantitative exploratory approach, our research essentially highlights profiles of young moroccan spectators and players, and analyzes the relationship between the consumption of football shows and football video games. In addition, this study highlights the emergence of a female and connected football consumption shows among young Moroccans between 8 to 24. Finally, our results can help managers to adapt their distribution and communication strategies of football video games and football shows to these segments.

Neste trabalho buscamos investigar a aplicação dos mecanismos de participação dos administrados nos processos administrativos de elaboração dos contratos de parceria público-privada (PPP) e indicar alternativas de aprimoramento do diálogo com o Poder Público para possibilitar a preparação de avenças aos objetivos desses tipos de concessão. Concentramos nossas reflexões em quatro instrumentos que permitem a aproximação dos administrados na modelagem dos contratos de concessão administrativa e patrocinada, quais sejam, o procedimento de manifestação de interesse (PMI), a consulta pública, a audiência pública e o roadshow. / This essay intends to analyze individuals´ participation mechanism in the administrative procedure of public-private partnership (PPP) contract elaboration and to indicate alternatives for a better dialogue with Public Sector, in order to prepare the agreements and to assure its attainment to the objectives of such concession model. The analysis is focused in four different instruments that grant the individual approach on the developing of the PPP contracts, which are: call for expressions of interest (translated as PMI - procedimento de manifestação de interesse), public consultation, public hearing and roadshow.

Individuals who bear Special Visual Needs (ISVN) can utilize a 3D perception development system, that allows, through an educational process, the ISVN to be prepared for a new reality, that is, to go from the 2D dimension to the 3D. Such a system would help these individuals to read the world in an imagery rich context. This study aimed at showing that systems based on Augmented Reality (AR) can facilitate ISVN`s inclusion in the world of painting. In order to accomplish this study, a Colaborative Authorship with Augmented Reality System (CAARS) was used to develop perception systems. These perception systems were utilized in 3D learning situations with 10 congenital blind adults, 4 of which are undergraduate students at UNASP/SP and 6 graduated professionals. These experiences showed that the proposed perception system offered the congenital blind individuals the possibility of learning all the techniques and concepts of 3D representation and interact with certain autonomy in the environment. The 3D perception systems developed for the congenital blind individuals enables them to have access to museums and other cultural spaces, resulting in a contribution to the social inclusion of this group / Pessoas cegas estão impossibilitadas de contemplar e apreciar a arte pictórica por problemas visuais, pois a linguagem visual ainda é a forma de comunicação predominante nas ações culturais. Os Portadores de Necessidades Especiais Visuais (PNEV s) podem utilizar um Sistema de Desenvolvimento de Percepção em 3D (SDP3D) que permita, por processo educacional educar o DV para uma nova realidade, a partir da dimensão 3D <---> 2D. Tal sistema deve ajudar a fazer a leitura do mundo em um contexto rico em representações. Este estudo, teve como objetivo mostrar que sistemas baseados em Realidade Aumentada (RA) podem facilitar a inclusão dos DV s no mundo da pintura. Para realização deste trabalho, foi utilizado o Sistema de Autoria Colaborativa com Realidade Aumentada (SACRA), para elaboração do SDP3D e suas aplicações na aprendizagem em representações 3D, e a participação de 10 cegos congênitos adultos, sendo quatro graduandos no UNASP/SP, e seis profissionais já graduados. As experiências realizadas mostraram que o SDP3D, proposto ofereceu aos cegos congênitos a possibilidade de aprender todas as técnicas e os conceitos de representação 3D, e interagir com uma certa autonomia no ambiente. Esse sistema de desenvolvimento de percepção em 3D para cegos congênitos permite o acesso a espaços museológicos e também a outros espaços culturais, resultando em uma contribuição para a inclusão social desse grupo

L'accès direct des individus à la justice constitutionnelle a tendance en Allemagne et Espagne, contrairement à la France et à Italie où il n’est pas prévu, à modifier la nature classiquement objective de la mission de constitutionnalisation du juge constitutionnel par les buts subjectifs poursuivis par les recours individuels directs. Il déclenche, le cas échéant, chez le juge constitutionnel une fonction autre que la simple constitutionnalisation du droit, qui demeure objective dans le cadre de l’accès indirect et l'entraîne sur le terrain de la fondamentalisation du droit, qui revêt des caractéristiques très subjectives. C'est ce qui explique la concurrence entre le juge constitutionnel et les juges ordinaires et européens, et conduit le premier à se comporter en cour suprême en Allemagne et en Espagne où existent ces voies de recours. La fondamentalisation, qui est un processus plus vaste que la constitutionnalisation, oblige également le juge constitutionnel à s’adapter et à prendre part à la "circulation des solutions juridiques" / The direct access of individuals to constitutional justice has the tendency in Germany and Spain, contrary to France and Italy where it does not exist, to modify the current and objective nature of the mission of constitutionalisation of the constitutional judge through the subjective goals individual and direct recourses. It triggers, on the other hand, on the side of the constitutional judge another function than the simple constitutionalisation of law that remains objective in the case of the indirect access, which is leading to the fundamentalisation of law, which has very subjective features. This is explaining the competition between the constitutional judge and the ordinary and European courts that leads the first to behave in Supreme Court in Germany and Spain where those review procedures exist. The fundamentalisation, which is a wider process than the constitutionalisation one, also oblige the constitutional judge to adapt and to get involved in the “circulation of legal solutions”

Health services have required health professionals to adopt distinguished conducts in which they play a central role in delivering technical, operational and political excellence in their practices. This is because they are jointly responsible for ensuring an accessible, humanized, egalitarian and comprehensive health care, among other principles respected by the Brazilian Health System (SUS). This research sought to analyze, from a historic and institutional perspective, the service infrastructure quality, as well as Primary Health Care workers concepts and practices underpinning the implementation and the development of the Family Health Strategy in the Health Office of Curitiba. In order to meet such demand, a new professional profile emerges with a humanized approach, as well as generalist and resolute characteristics within the Family Health Strategy practice. Based on the theories raised by the attributes described by Starfield (2002) as critical or unique in Primary Health Care (first contact, comprehensiveness, longitudinality and coordination), the secondary attributes (family-centeredness, cultural competence and community orientation) and an attribute not only assigned to Primary Health Care (proper recording), the concepts and practices adopted by the Family Health Strategy in Curitiba are analyzed. Family Health was wholly taken and implemented within a specific technical and political timeframe and in a restricted fashion. It is defended only by a portion of significant professionals aligned to understand and embrace values, principles and attributes of Primary Health Care. Significant individuals demonstrate the progresses made in the qualification of working concepts and processes and the contradictions arising from an insufficient appropriation of ideologies by new stakeholders, which impair the delivery of a qualified Family Health Care work. This study presents how the Primary Health Care in Curitiba is organized and operates, in connection with the hegemony and qualified development of a city policy / O campo da política de saúde tem agregado novas concepções que orientam a formação e a prática dos trabalhadores de saúde, em uma tendência de garantia da universalidade do direito à saúde. O trabalho em saúde tem exigido condutas diferenciadas de seus trabalhadores, na condição de protagonistas da excelência técnica, operativa e política de sua prática profissional, por se constituírem como sujeitos corresponsáveis na garantia de acesso, humanização, equidade e integralidade da atenção em saúde, entre outros princípios do SUS. A pesquisa buscou analisar, no processo histórico-institucional, a qualificação da infraestrutura de serviços, bem como as concepções e práticas dos trabalhadores em APS que fundamentam a implantação e o desenvolvimento da estratégia Saúde da Família- SF, na SMS Curitiba. Para responder a tal demanda, demonstra-se a constituição de um novo perfil profissional, de abordagem humanizada, com características mais generalistas e resolutivas da pratica profissional em ESF. Com a base teórica no campo dos atributos descritos por Starfield (2002) como essenciais ou únicos em APS (primeiro contato, integralidade, longitudinalidade e coordenação), os atributos derivados (enfoque na família, valorização dos aspectos culturais e orientação na comunidade) e um atributo não exclusivo da APS (registro adequado), fundamenta-se a análise das concepções e práticas das ESF em Curitiba. Em sua integralidade, a Saúde da Família foi apreendida e implementada em tempo técnico e político especifico, de forma restrita, defendida por apenas um segmento de profissionais significativos, alinhados em compreensão e defesa de uma base de valores, princípios e atributos da APS. Assim, os sujeitos significativos demonstram os avanços na qualificação das concepções e processo de trabalho, e da mesma forma as contradições evidenciadas por uma insuficiente apropriação de bases ideológicas e adesão por parte de novos protagonistas que comprometem a qualificação do trabalho em Saúde da Família. Demonstra-se a capacidade de organização e funcionamento da APS em Curitiba, relacionada à hegemonia e desenvolvimento qualificado de uma política municipal

The behaviors frequently displayed by students with autism can place them at risk for overly reactive behavior interventions with unwanted side effects. The current study examined the level of intrusiveness of behavioral treatments developed for 198 students with disabilities from 13 different states. Results demonstrated that students diagnosed with autism had proportionally more intrusive behavior interventions when compared to students in five other disability categories and indicated that many students with autism were unnecessarily subjected to highly intrusive behavior interventions. The implications of these findings are discussed, and recommendations for future research are provided.

In order to better assist practitioners and better serve persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families, it is vital for professionals to systematically evaluate the existing body of literature and synthesize its scientific evidence, so that the efficacy of research can be translated to evidence-based practices (EBPs) (Wheeler, 2007; Zhang & Wheeler, 2011). This research synthesis evaluated adherence to EBP standards and analyzed the effectiveness of gluten-free and casein-free (GFCF) diets for individuals with ASD. Four hundred and seventy articles were screened among peer-reviewed journals in English language published through 2010 using the Academic Search Complete search database. Twenty-three studies were selected, and the researchers used a systematic analysis model developed by Mayton, Wheeler, Menendez, and Zhang (2010) to investigate the degree of adherence to specific evidence-based practice standards. In addition, the study utilized quality indicators proposed by (a) Horner et al. (2005) for single-subject design studies and (b) Gersten et al. (2005) for group experimental design, to evaluate the efficacy of GFCF diet interventions. Results of this synthesis indicated that the efficacy of GFCF diet interventions for individuals with ASD is inconclusive, and the field needs better controlled studies to provide the scientific evidence base for the intervention.
