Recognizing that a parent is a key role player in fighting HIV/AIDS, the researcher conducted a study to examine and describe the knowledge parents have of this disease and its virus. The study was conducted among a sample of 100 parents/guardians, using a questionnaire to examine the respondents' conceptual, episodic, descriptive, procedural and declarative knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The study found that the respondents lacked especially conceptual and declarative knowledge and that the main factor contributing to knowledge is the level of education. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Asthma is not a disease with a single etiology but a very complex syndrome. Irrespective of a better understanding of the pathophysiology of asthma and its related therapeutic regimens the disease still escalates in prevalence and severity. Characteristic features of chronicity and remission ensures a fertile ground for non-compliance by patients. This quantitative, descriptive study set out to determine the asthma knowledge, asthma control and quality of life of adult asthmatics who attended the respiratory outpatient clinic at Tygerberg Hospital. The purpose was to determine an association between asthma knowledge, asthma control and asthma quality of life. A statistically significant association was found between asthma control and asthma quality of life, not with knowledge of asthma for either of the concepts. Important gaps in knowledge were identified namely an inability to recognise nocturnal coughing as a risk factor. The increased role of nurse practitioners in asthma care is highly recommended. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

It was made a sociometric study of descriptive character, involving 223 articles from 78 journals. For this, the articles were divided in six thematic areas - Portfolio Theory, Capital Structure and Dividend Policy, CAPM, Market Efficiency, Price Options and Behavior Finance. Moreover, it was made the presentation of the cooperation social networks, splitting authors and institutions according to the thematic areas. Subsequently, it was made the analysis of the areas and institutions that most represent the publications in the searched population, as well as how the building of this knowledge occurred, based on the concepts of normal science and Thomas Kuhn paradigm. The following results were obtained, mapped and followed by the social network analysis (SNA): a) the theories that compose the Modern Finance Theory have their constitution anomalous concerning the paradigms; b) in the normal course of science, response to crisis was through new finance and its behavior model; c) the results presented between the dichotomy full and limited rationality in finance fit in the concept of normal science, according to its building course; d) Finance is a research area that has already presented its scientific paradigm; e) the comparison between the periods of published research and the knowledge building, in various moments, occurs through pre-paradigmatic periods, and its first divergence point was defined based on the real behavior factor. The answer was the insurgence and the insertion of behavior models in agents' decisions, which appeared in publications only in the last two decades, even under questionings of the dominant paradigm. / Nesta pesquisa, o objetivo foi identificar, sob a perspectiva da teoria de constru????o do conhecimento, os autores e as institui????es de destaque envolvidos na ??rea de publica????o da pesquisa em finan??as, entre 1979 e 2012, para acompanhar como ocorreu a constru????o do conhecimento nessa ??rea. Foi feito um estudo sociom??trico de car??ter descritivo, com 223 artigos, oriundos de 78 peri??dicos. Para tanto, os artigos foram divididos em seis ??reas tem??ticas - Teoria do Portfolio, Estrutura de Capital e Pol??tica de Dividendos, CAPM, Efici??ncia de Mercado, Precifica????o de Op????es e Finan??as Comportamentais - e foi feita a apresenta????o das redes sociais de coopera????o, dividindo autores e institui????es em conformidade com as ??reas tem??ticas. Posteriormente, procedeu-se ?? analise das ??reas e institui????es que mais representaram publica????es na popula????o pesquisada, e como ocorreu a constru????o desse conhecimento, a partir dos conceitos de ci??ncia normal e do paradigma de Thomas Kuhn. Foram obtidos os seguintes resultados, mapeados e acompanhados pela an??lise de rede social (ARS): a) as teorias componentes da MTF t??m sua constitui????o an??mala com rela????o aos paradigmas; b) na rota normal da ci??ncia, a resposta ?? crise foi por meio das novas finan??as e de seu modelo comportamental; c) os resultados entre a dicotomia da racionalidade plena e a limitada nas finan??as apresentaram-se e se encaixam no conceito de ci??ncia normal, de acordo com sua rota de constru????o; d) Finan??as foi uma ??rea de pesquisa a qual j?? apresentou seu paradigma cient??fico; e) a compara????o entre os per??odos da pesquisa publicada e a constru????o do conhecimento passa em diversos momentos por per??odos pr??-paradigm??ticos, e tem seu primeiro ponto de diverg??ncia definido com o fator comportamental comprovado; a resposta foi o surgimento e a inser????o dos modelos comportamentais nas decis??es dos agentes, que surgiu nas publica????es somente nas ??ltimas duas d??cadas, mesmo sob questionamentos do paradigma dominante.

Acompanha produto: O compartilhamento... / Esta pesquisa delineia algumas possibilidades de conexão entre o conhecimento didático e o conhecimento científico por meio de um projeto de divulgação científica. A pesquisa aconteceu no Instituto Carlos Chagas – Fiocruz/PR, onde foi realizado, no ano de 2015, o seu primeiro programa de divulgação científica com o ambicioso objetivo de levar vivências científicas à escola. A partir da análise da primeira edição do projeto, desenvolveu-se um material didático para a segunda edição, que ocorreu em 2017. A análise foi essencialmente qualitativa, baseada nos relatos de pesquisadores e de alunos, a partir da qual se identificou as principais expectativas e significados contidos nesse evento didático. A teoria que embasou a produção do material didático é a de D. Bob Gowin, da Universidade de Cornell, que prevê uma tríade: alunos, professores e material didático em interação para o compartilhamento de significados. Os dados analisados permitem indicar que a transposição didática se mostra como a principal dificuldade na divulgação científica, seguida de outros obstáculos percebidos pelos pesquisadores, como a falta de interesse e de conhecimento prévio dos alunos. O material didático desenvolvido tem, portanto, a proposição de ser potencialmente significativo, assumindo o intento de expressar o saber no contexto característico da divulgação científica. Como produto desta pesquisa, foi elaborado um guia que apresenta os resultados e as orientações para que outros pesquisadores possam ter referenciais que os auxiliem a fazer a primeira etapa da transposição didática (saber científico para saber a ensinar) e formular materiais didáticos para a divulgação científica. / This research outlined some possibilities of connection between didactic knowledge and scientific knowledge through a scientific dissemination project. The research was carried out at Instituto Carlos Chagas - Fiocruz-PR, where it was held in 2015, its first scientific dissemination program with the ambitious goal of bringing science experiences to school. From the analysis of the first edition of the project, a didactic material was developed for the second edition, which occurred in 2017. The analysis was essentially qualitative, based on the reports of researchers and students, from which the main expectations and meanings, that were part of this didactic event, were identified. The theory behind the production of the didactic material is the theory of Gowin, which foresees a triad: students, teachers and the didactic material in interaction in order to share meanings. The analyzed data allow us to indicate that the didactic transposition is shown as the main difficulty in the scientific dissemination, besides others perceived by the researchers, such as the lack of interest shown by the students and their lack of prior knowledge. The developed didactic material, therefore, has the proposition of being potentially significant, assuming its purpose as an expression of knowledge, in the context of scientific dissemination. As a product of this research, a guide that presents the results and orientations has been prepared, so that other researchers can have references that may help them to do the first step of didactic transposition and to formulate didactic materials for scientific divulgation.

The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was to explore the support of juvenile offender learners in correctional schools from a wellness perspective. The support of juvenile offender learners on the six dimensions of wellness is crucial since it has a wide range of benefits, it links achievement of teaching and learning, and rehabilitation and avoid recidivism. The study integrates Ubuntu and Wellness frameworks (Hettler, 1984) as a lens to understand the support of juvenile offender learners’ wellness in the correctional schools. The two frameworks informed the formulated Wellness framework as an approach to address and support wellness in active teaching and learning of the juvenile learners in the correctional schools. Data collection methods used was semi- structured interviews, open-ended questionnaires and observations. The research used purposive sampling of 12 teachers and 21 juvenile offender learners from seven correctional schools in four different provinces in South Africa. Ethical considerations are followed this include how best to negotiate access to the correctional schools, signed consent forms, anonymity, and confidentiality. The findings of the study revealed inadequate support structures and challenges that threaten the wellness of juvenile learners. However, it was revealed that teachers make an effort to support juvenile offender learners’ wellness in the correctional schools. Conversely, there are gaps in terms of policy, theory, and practice on how they can effectively support juvenile learners. The major impediment is that teachers are trained to teach in mainstream schools not in the environment of imprisonment. The study recommends that teachers, Learner Support Assistant (LSA), Peer Educators (PE), and security official be trained on how to identify intellectual, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and career challenges of juvenile learners and address them in order to improve their learning, and rehabilitate. The DCS can do this through collaboration with various stakeholders who have knowledge and expertise in the six-wellness dimensions. Hence, the study formulated the model called Collaborative Intervention Support for Wellness framework. It consists of five strategic support structures (DCS, and other governmental department, non-governmental stakeholders LSA and PE) that are to assist the teachers in the correctional schools to support and enhance the juvenile offender learners’ wellness. / Morero oa thuto ena ea boleng bo phahameng ene e le ho hlahloba tšehetso ea baithuti ba tlolo ea molao dikolong tsa tikolo tsa tikoloho ho tloha boemong bo botle.

Die ondersteuning van jong jeugdige oortreders in die ses dimensies van welstand is van kardinale belang, aangesien dit ‘n wye verskeidenheid voordele inhou, verbind dit die prestasie van onderrig en leer, en rehabilitasie en vermy herhaling. Die studie integreer Ubuntu en wellness-raamwerke (Hettler,1984) as ‘n lens om die ondersteumning van jeugoortreders se welstand in die skole vir korrektiewe te verstaan. Die twee raamwerke het die geformuleerde welstand-raamwerk ingelig as ‘n benadering om welstand in die aktiewe onderrig en leer van jong leerder in die korrektiewe skole aan te spreek en te ondersteun. Metodes vir die insameling van data wat gebruik is, was semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude, oop vraelyste en waarnemings. In die navorsing is doelgerigte steekproefneming van 12 onderwysers en 21 jong oortreders van sewe korrektiewe skole in vier verskillende provinsies in Suid-Afrika gebruik. Etiese oorwegings word gevolg, dit sluit in hoe om die beste toegang tot die skole vir korrektiewe, ondertekende vorms van toestemming, anonimiteit en vertroulikheid te beding. Die bevindings van die studie het onvoldoende ondersteuningstrukture en uitdagings ontdek wat die welstand van jong leerders bedreig. Dit is egter aan die lig gebring dat onderwysers moeite doen om die welstand van die jeugoortreders in die korrektiewe skole te ondersteun. Daarteenoor is daar leemtes in terme van beleid, toerie en praktyk oor hoe hulle jong leerders effektief kan ondersteun. Die grooste struikelblok is dat onderwysers opgelei word om in hoofstroomskole onderrig te gee, nie die omgewing van gevangenisstraf nie. Die studie beveel aan dat onderwysers, LSA, PT en veiligheidsbeampte opgelei word in die identifisering van intellektuelle, fisieke, sosiale, emosionele, geestelike en loopbaanuitdagings van jong leerders en om hulle aan te spreek ten einde hul leer te verbeter en te rehabiliteer. Die DKD kan dit doen deur samewerking met verskillende belanghebbendes wat kennis en kundigheid het in die dimensies van ses welstand. Daarom het die studie die model genaamd “Collaborative Intervention Support for Wellness raamwerk geformuleer. Dit is ‘n kompromie van vyf strategies ondersteuningstrukture (DKD, en ander regeringsdepartemente, nie- regeringsbelangheggendes LSA, en portuurstudente) wat die onderwysers in die korrektiewe skole moet help om die welstand van die jeugoortreder te help en te verbeter. / Psychology / D.
