I performed a secondary analysis of existing data and determined that when interacting with physicians during primary care visits for chronic illness treatment, patients using opioids are less likely to continue presenting concerns designed to reinforce their social and emotional uniqueness during the second half of primary care visits when physicians provide empathic support of their concerns in the first half of visits.

As a research method in office, analysis of the regulatory system, ore exploitation regime in the country, and survey of directly applicable law were used. To compose the variables of the study data obtained in active field of a mining company we used. This research is justified for understanding that in practice elements are missing so that conflicts resulting from the exercise of mining activities and their externalities are resolved through a transparent management. Finally, as a result it was possible to develop a methodology of practical application to assist mining activities in the analysis of significant environmental aspects and impacts, as well as hazards and risks related to occupational health and safety of mining workers, underpinned by management programs whose effectiveness is measured based on performance indicators / A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo contextualizar e analisar os aspectos jurídicos da mineração e do licenciamento ambiental, para o desenvolver uma metodologia que auxilie na gestão da atividade minerária, desde as fases preliminares até o fechamento da mina focando na mitigação e tratamento dos impactos ambientais significativos e perigos e riscos relacionados com a saúde do trabalhador mineiro. Foram utilizados como método de pesquisa, em gabinete, a análise do sistema de regulação, o regime de aproveitamento do minério no país e o levantamento da legislação diretamente aplicável. Para compor as variáveis da pesquisa, foram utilizados dados obtidos em campo ativo de uma mineradora. Justifica-se a presente pesquisa por entender que, na prática, faltam elementos para que os conflitos decorrentes do exercício da atividade minerária e suas externalidades sejam solucionados por intermédio de uma gestão transparente. Ao final, como resultado, foi possível desenvolver uma metodologia de aplicação prática para auxiliar a atividade minerária na análise dos aspectos e impactos ambientais significativos, bem como os perigos e riscos relacionados com a saúde e a segurança ocupacional do trabalhador mineiro, com suporte em programas de gerenciamento, cuja eficácia é aferida com base em indicadores de desempenho

The problem with which this investigation was concerned was that of evaluating the Mid-Management concept of cooperative education at Tarrant County Junior College's South Campus. Evaluative data regarding the various parts of the Mid-Management program were obtained from current students, graduates, and employers, through use of primary source questionnaires and interviews. This study leads to the conclusion that promotional opportunities for students and especially graduates have been enhanced by more than 15 percent and, that a significant number of students and graduates have experienced an improvement in self-image and an increase in self-confidence. It is concluded further, that employers have perceived an increase in their Mid-Management employees' understanding of the manager's job and in their performance on the job, and that employers positively endorse the job-related-project approach of cooperative education. Earnings of both current students and graduates increased substantially after participation in the program; some of these improvements can probably be attributed to the program itself while others were due to inflation, tenure on the job, and other factors.
