O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar as questões de gênero e sexualidade suscitadas a partir da presença de professores homens que atuam nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental em duas roças no interior da Bahia. Ao longo do processo de generificação das profissões, diversos ofícios foram feminizados. Contudo, o magistério se destaca entre os demais, pois ainda hoje há uma acentuada demarcação dessa profissão como ideal para as mulheres. A pesquisa situa-se nos campos teóricos dos estudos de gênero, estudos culturais e pós-estruturalismo e estudos das masculinidades. A roça foi compreendida na pesquisa enquanto um lugar generificado e sexualizado que apresenta seus próprios discursos nas construções de gênero e sexualidade. Embora não seja o foco central da pesquisa a Educação do/no Campo também é abordada na dissertação, uma vez que é nessa modalidade de ensino que as duas escolas pesquisadas estão inseridas. A metodologia escolhida foi a etnografia e como procedimentos de produção de dados foram utilizadas a observação-participante, a elaboração do caderno de anotações e entrevistas-semiestruturadas Foram entrevistados dezesseis adultos, sendo pais, professores/as gestores/as e quatro crianças, duas de cada escola. Além das conversas informais com diversos atores sociais da comunidade escolar e rural, mas os três professores homens são considerados os principais informantes da pesquisa. A partir das análises realizadas é possível concluir que a presença dos professores homens na docência com crianças ainda desperta questionamentos, tensões e pânicos morais. Foi possível observar que essas construções discursivas refletem nas suas aulas e na relação com as crianças. A partir dos dados produzidos emergiram três categorias analíticas centrais: o medo da pedofilia, os questionamentos em torno das masculinidades dos professores e as práticas pedagógicas que buscam um distanciamento de qualquer elemento considerado culturalmente como feminino. Por meio de diferentes discursos esses homens ao optarem por uma profissão historicamente feminizada são vistos como fora do lugar. / The current paper aimed to analyze gender and sexuality issues aroused from the presence of two male teachers who work in the First Years of Elementary School in two different sites in the countryside in the State of Bahia. Along the gender formation process present in the occupations, several ones were considered feminine. However, the teaching stands out from the others, once even today there is a pronounced demarcation of this profession as ideal for women. The present research is located in the theoretical fields of gender studies, cultural studies and also post-structuralism. The countryside was understood in the research as a gendered and sexualized place which presents its own discourses in the construction of gender and sexuality. Although it is not the central focus of this research, the Education in/of the countryside is also approached in the dissertation, once it is in this teaching modality that the two researched schools are inserted. The methodology chosen was the ethnography and as the data production procedures the participative-observation was utilized, as well as the elaboration of a diary for notes and also semi-structured interviews Sixteen adults were interviewed, among parents, teachers, school administrators as well as four children, two from each school. Besides the informal conversations with several social actors from the school community and the rural community, the three male teachers were considered the main informers of the research. From the carried analyzes it is possible to conclude that the presence of male teachers within the context of the teaching practicing with children still provokes questionings, tensions and moral panic. It was possible to observe that such discursive constructions are reflected in their classes and in their relation with the children. From the produced data, three central analytic categories emerged: the fear of pedophilia, the questionings around the teachers‟ masculinities and the pedagogical practices which search for a distance from any element culturally considered as feminine. By means of different discourses, these men, by opting for a historically feminine profession are seen as out of their places.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel Superior / No contexto epidemiolÃgico da aids, os homens que fazem sexo com homens tem sido uma categoria prioritÃria para aÃÃes de prevenÃÃo, devido à adoÃÃo de prÃticas sexuais desprotegidas, à aquisiÃÃo de comportamentos de risco e ao estigma e à discriminaÃÃo. Assim, uma polÃtica de prevenÃÃo efetiva para este subgrupo deve estar focada na perspectiva da minimizaÃÃo da vulnerabilidade dos grupos, por meio da aÃÃo sobre os diversos aspectos individuais, sociais e programÃticos. O estudo tem como objetivo analisar a vulnerabilidade ao HIV/aids dos homens que fazem sexo com homens a partir das prÃticas sexuais. Estudo quantitativo, transversal e correlacional, realizado em dois locais de sociabilidade gay, localizados na regiÃo central da cidade de Fortaleza, CearÃ. A populaÃÃo compreendeu os homens que fazem sexo com homens que frequentam a cena gay de Fortaleza. A amostra do estudo foi obtida por conveniÃncia e compreendeu 257 indivÃduos. O instrumento utilizado foi submetido à validaÃÃo de face e conteÃdo por 03 juÃzes e consistiu em um formulÃrio estruturado em quatro partes distintas: identificaÃÃo, identidade sexual, histÃrico sexual e prÃticas sexuais. Foram investigadas associaÃÃes entre as variÃveis dependentes e independentes do estudo. Realizou-se anÃlise bivariada usando o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson com um nÃvel de significÃncia menor que 0,05, para investigaÃÃo de associaÃÃo entre as variÃveis. A anÃlise comparativa das mÃdias foi realizada pelo ANOVA e pelo teste t de Student. Os resultados evidenciaram que quanto a caracterizaÃÃo sociodemogrÃfica, a faixa etÃria de 18 a 24 anos apresentou 45,5% (117), mÃdia 27,19 anos, 89,2% (229) eram alfabetizados, com, no mÃnimo, ensino mÃdio completo, solteiros 86,4% (222), catÃlicos 52,9% (136) e 57,6% (148) pardos. Nos dados da identidade sexual, predominou a preferÃncia pelo termo homossexual, com 44,7% (115) e o apoio familiar foi referido por 43,6% (112). A maioria dos respondentes relatou a realizaÃÃo do sexo oral, representando 95,7% (246). Enquanto, 44% (113) responderam ânÃo usoâ o preservativo no sexo oral. Quanto ao sexo anal, quase a totalidade dos sujeitos referiu a prÃtica do sexo anal, que representou 98,4% (253). Revelou-se, que 73,5% (189) dos indivÃduos assumiam o papel ativo e passivo na relaÃÃo e que 71,6% (184) dos entrevistados referiu o uso do preservativo âsempreâ. O envolvimento em relaÃÃo sexual desprotegida apresentou diferenÃa estatisticamente significante quando associado a possuir parceria fixa (p=0,000), utilizaÃÃo do preservativo no sexo oral (p=0,000) e no sexo anal (0,004). Constata-se a influÃncia marcante da vulnerabilidade individual e social na determinaÃÃo das situaÃÃes de suscetibilidades do grupo estudado frente ao HIV/aids, como a alta prevalÃncia de realizaÃÃo de sexo oral desprotegido e a associaÃÃo significativa da prÃtica sexual desprotegida com a parceria fixa. Recomenda-se uma abordagem especÃfica desses fatores para uma melhor compreensÃo da epidemia de aids nesse segmento. Conclui-se que a suscetibilidade do subgrupo de homens que fazem sexo com homens e a compreensÃo de suas particularidades constituem, ainda, um grande desafio a ser enfrentado em todos os espaÃos em que condiÃÃes de risco para aquisiÃÃo do HIV/aids estejam presentes. / In the epidemiological context of AIDS, men who have sex with men has been a priority category for prevention, due to the adoption of unprotected sexual practices, the acquisition of risk behaviors and stigma and discrimination. Thus, a policy of effective prevention for this subgroup should be focused on the perspective of minimizing the vulnerability of groups, through action on the various individual, social and programmatic aspects. The study aims to analyze the vulnerability to HIV / AIDS in men who have sex with men from sexual practices. Cross-sectional and correlational study, conducted at two sites of gay sociability, located in the central region of the city of Fortaleza, Cearà . The study population consisted of men who have sex with men attending gay scene Fortaleza. The study sample was obtained by convenience and included 257 individuals. The instrument used was subjected to face validity and content by 03 judges and consisted of a structured form into four distinct parts: identification , sexual identity and history of sexual practices and sexual practices . Data collection took place during the months of December 2010 to March 2011. Associations between the dependent and independent variables of the study were investigated. We conducted bivariate analysis using the chi- square test with a significance level less than 0.05, to investigate the association between variables. The comparative analysis of means was performed by ANOVA and the Student t test. The results showed that as sociodemographics , age range 18-24 years, had 45.5 % (117), average 27.19 years, 89.2% (229) were literate, with at least completed high school singles, 86.4% (222), Catholic 52.9%(136) and 57.6% (148) browns. The facts of sexual identity, homosexual predominant preference for the term, with 44.7% (115) and family support was reported by 43.6% (112). The majority of respondents reported performing oral sex, accounting for 95.7 % (246). While 44 % (113) answered "do not use " condoms in oral sex . As for anal sex, almost all of the subjects reported practicing anal sex, which represented 98.4 % (253). It was revealed that 73.5% (189) of the subjects assumed the active and passive role in the relationship and that 71.6 %(184) of respondents reported using condoms " always ". Engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse statistically significant difference when associated with having a regular partner (p = 0.000), use of condoms in oral sex (p = 0.000) and anal sex (0.004). Notably, there is a remarkable influence of individual and social vulnerability in the determination of situations susceptibilities of the study group on HIV / AIDS, as the high rate of performing unprotected oral sex and significant association of unprotected sexual act with a regular partner. We recommend a specific approach to these factors for a better understanding of the AIDS epidemic in this segment. It is concluded that the susceptibility of the subgroup of men who have sex with men and the understanding of their specificities, still constitute a major challenge to be faced in all areas where hazardous conditions for the acquisition of HIV / AIDS are present.

Magister Curationis - MCur / An increasing number of males is entering the nursing profession. The researcher in his position as a clinical supervisor at the School of Nursing at the University of the Western Cape (UWC), through informal ward rounds with student nurses in the wards, has received concerns raised by male student nurses regarding their dissatisfaction with their clinical learning. Given the paucity of literature about the experiences of males working in a profession dominated by females, the researcher embarked on this study to understand how male student nurses experienced the clinical learning environment. The aim of the study was to explore and describe the lived clinical learning experience of male student nurses during their experiential learning in the clinical setting. A descriptive phenomenological design was used. Purposive sampling was used to select participants from the second, third and fourth year of their study. Three focus group discussions, consisting of six participants per group were used to collect data. One open-ended question guided the interviews. Focus group discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was conducted by means of Colaizzi`s (1978) seven steps method of qualitative analysis. Three major themes identified focused on the experiences regarding the constraints in the learning environment, the impact on the self and social support of students working in a female dominated profession. The participants in this study were male students only, but after looking at the findings and literature, the problem of not being given opportunities to practise clinical skills in a clinical learning environment, particularly according to their level of study, is a problem that faces both male and female students. The findings indicate that male nurses do have different experiences compared to female nurses because of their masculinity, hence they are limited in the care that they can provide to female patients.
