Câmara Cascudo e Oscar Ribas: diálogos no Atlântico / Câmara Cascuda and Oscar Ribas: dialogs in the Atlantic

Neves, Alexandre Gomes 19 September 2008 (has links)
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo propor aproximações entre os autores Câmara Cascudo e Oscar Ribas. O primeiro pertencente ao sistema literário brasileiro e o segundo ao angolano. Buscamos a comparação entre ambos, considerando as semelhanças entre seus percursos. Ao longo de suas carreiras, os autores dividiram-se entre a produção literária e a pesquisa folclórica. A proposta que executamos apropria-se do conceito de macrossistema literário defendido por Benjamin Abdala Júnior. Em sua perspectiva, macrossistema é definido pelos contatos que podem ser estabelecidos entre os sistemas literários nacionais no contexto das literaturas de língua portuguesa. Nosso estudo centra-se sobre dois romances: Canto de muro (1959) de Câmara Cascudo e Uanga (feitiço) (1951) de Oscar Ribas. A análise destas obras nos permite apreciar textos fracionados entre o fazer literário e o compromisso com a divulgação de dados de pesquisa. A dualidade nas carreiras dos intelectuais é espelhada na composição de seus romances. Realizamos também uma leitura do livro de ensaios Made in África (1965) de Câmara Cascudo, no qual nos deparamos com um Cascudo leitor de Oscar Ribas e preocupado com os matizes africanos da cultura brasileira. / The present work aims to propose some relations between the writers Câmara Cascudo and Oscar Ribas considering the similarity in their literary journey, the former belonging to the Brazilian literary system and the latter to the Angolan literary system. During their careers, those writers dedicated themselves to the literary production as well as the research on folklore. The study approach is the concept of literary macrosystem defended by Benjamin Abdala Júnior, which is defined by the contacts that can be established among the national literary systems in the context of Portuguese-language literatures. It focuses on two novels, Câmara Cascudo\'s Canto de muro (1959) and Oscar Ribas\'s Uanga (feitiço) (1951). The analysis of both works allows us to appreciate texts parceled into the literary making and the commitment to publishing their researches. That dualism in both intellectual careers is reflected in the composition of their novels. The reading of Câmara Cascudo\'s essay book, Made in África (1965), has allowed us to see Câmara Cascudo as a reader of Oscar Ribas\'s works and a writer concerned about the African hue of Brazilian culture.

Information Overload - ett problem inom akutsjukvården?

Nilsson, Björn, Jetisi, Suzane January 2007 (has links)

An Exploration of Impediments to Attachment in a Juvenile Offender Population: Comparisons between Juvenile Sex Offenders, Juvenile Violent Offenders And Juvenile Non-Sex, Non-Violent Offenders

Funari, Sharon Kay 01 January 2005 (has links)
This current study addresses potential impediments to attachment that may differentiate between incarcerated juveniles who have committed sexual crimes and incarcerated juveniles who have not committed such offenses. The exploration of such potential barriers to attachment has been organized around Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model. Subjects were 2948 incarcerated male adolescents adjudicated to the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice and were divided based solely upon adjudicating offense: Juvenile non-violent, non-sexual offenders (JNVNSO, n=1149), Juvenile violent, non-sexual offenders (JVNSO, n=1433) and Juvenile sexual offenders (JSO, n=366). Results indicated that JSOs differed from JNVNSOs and JVNSOs in their histories of sexual abuse as well as placements in foster care. Attachment impairment and the number of risk factors present were also found to be significantly related. Future research directions and potential policy repercussions are also addressed.

The impact of HIV/AIDS on infected and affected rural primary school children in Zimbabwe : children's perspectives : a case study

Mtimbiri, Siza January 2019 (has links)
Although there has been increasing research on HIV/AIDS and children, albeit mostly outside the school environment, most research in the area tends to view 'children as objects' (Christensen and James, 1999) in the research process whereby the change in the child is what is being observed. This view lessens the role of the child and as such means that the results are inadequate - mostly the researcher's perspective is represented. In Zimbabwe, with an estimated 1.1 million AIDS orphans and 115,000 children under 14 living with HIV/AIDS, not much empirical research has been conducted in school settings where they spend most of their time; the complexities of infected and affected students' experiences within the school-home-community spheres are mostly inferred due to lack of empirical research. Using Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System's Theory and the Capability Approach to adopt a holistic psychosocio-cultural lens, the research aims to understand the experiences of infected and affected students from their perspectives within their school, home and community environments. Added to observations, in-depth interviews based on data collected using photography, drawings, timelines, sociograms and student diaries were conducted with 65 boys and 27 girls aged 10 -13 years from a rural primary school during the months of August to December 2011. In-depth interviews were also conducted with 161 parents and caregivers. Also interviewed were 13 stakeholders comprising of a Senior Research Officer within the Ministry of Education, District Education Officer, 5 Teachers and their Principal, a District Councilor, the Chief, a village head, a local Baptist Minister and a research staff person from, FACT, a local NGO that works with AIDS orphans. Among children, findings point to dilapidating issues of stigma, abandonment, unaddressed emotional and physical needs; children relied on each other's advice more than that of teachers and caregivers. Among the adult community, the education authorities and community leaders who are custodians of their education, ignorance about infected and affected children is astounding. An ageing population of caregivers is barely able to deal with the complexities of infected children. Religion has a powerful negative influence on addressing HIV/AIDS issues. Teachers, citing taboo issues about sex and the fact that HIV/AIDS is not an exam at the school, refused to broach the subject. Education Officials at the time clearly pointed out that there has been no research nor any plans yet to address this population and their needs. Further research will need to be conducted for educational planning that will be most effective in implementing meaningful changes for this group and other rural primary school children.
