Yes / Aims: Theoretical arguments and empirical evidence have been provided in the literature for the role of fairness in wellness. In this paper we explore the role of two potential mediating variables: autonomous human choice and social capital. Methods: Using aggregated panel data across countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) we compared the OECD Social Justice Index with data on life satisfaction to test whether fairness has direct and indirect effects on wellness. Results: Results from a series of Manifest Path Analyses with time as fixed effect, support the hypothesis that the OECD Social Justice Index is directly linked to country-level life satisfaction and also reveal that its indirect effect operates primarily through people’s autonomous choices in life and their country’s level of social capital. Conclusions: Our results contribute to two distinct bodies of knowledge. With respect to community psychology, the findings offer empirical evidence for the synergistic effect of personal, relational, and collective factors in well-being. With respect to the impact of economic inequality on wellness, we extend the literature by using social justice as a more comprehensive measure. Limitation and recommendations for future studies are discussed. / Research Development Fund Publication Prize Award winner, Jan 2022.

Aim of this work is to make a comparison of three generations (1918 - 1989) of discourse art theorists and to point to their similarity. Specifically, the main personalities and spokespersons of Czech avant-garde art and underground, who are Karel Teige, Vladimír Boudník, Egon Bondy, Milan Knížák and Ivan Martin Jirous. This work analyses the content the interpretive models which are contained in the manifestos and manifestations text (Chapter 2) and reconstruction experience and feeling of historical avant-gards based on work with ego-documents (Chapter 3). The result of this analysis is a description of the differences (and dynamics) of development of avant-garde, but especially characteristic of avant-garde and underground mental world. The analysis shows that the artistic avant-garde (Teige) and underground (Jirous, Knížák), as well as the second generation standing on the edge of the avant-garde and underground (Boudník, Bondy) show great similarity with many common features. Individual features common to the avant-garde and underground are summarized in the conclusion. Key words avant-garde, underground, czech art, manifest, feeling, Karel Teige, Vladimír Boudník, Egon Bondy, Milan Knížák, Ivan Martin Jirous

The initial part was the documental analyses, espeally the Manifest of Pioneers of 1932, with the decree for the creation of the Brazilian University (State of 1932), of the laws os Directories and Basis (Law nº 4024/1961 and Law nº 9394/1996), of the law of the University Reform during the Military Government (Law nº 5540/1968), and of the Anti-project for the University Reform, presented to the National Congress by the Executive (dec/2006), today on its fourth version. To apprehend the object of the research, that is, the formation of teachers, we started at the following perspectives; the formation of professionals in education must be done at the university; to be teachers it s necessary that the professionals be engageged in research and teaching, provided that the initial formation be done with courses taken in person, the long distance education being also accepted for the continued formstion of the professional in education wishing to have other position in the school administrator. The research aims to make a aprroach analysis of documents that define the politics for the formation of professionals in education in the periods of 1932 and 1994-2004, in an attempt to identify some similarities in the idea as well as in the implementing practices of such policies.The theorical reference based on the lights of taching of, among others, Brzezinski (1987, 1996, 2004, 2006); Cunha (1980, 1983, 1998); Fávero (2000); Manacorda (2004); Minto (2006); Sguissardi (2006); Teixeira (1994, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2004). In the conclusions, some similarities were possible, but more differences were detected between the two projects formation which are inserted in the douments, object of historic-documental analyses. The most evident similarity is that the Pioneers of New Education based themselves on a liberal project (idealis/ humanist/ naïve pragmatist of societ, of education and formationof teachers in one side, and that the anti project of reform of College teaching nowadays is basid in the neo liberalism, in a slant the society, the education, the policies for formation of teachers are ruled by the market. Under the perspective of the market laws, the Education is merely a siple those so called consumers; and the nonclients are the excluded ones from the basic and College Brazilian Education. / Esta dissertação é resultante de uma pesquisa teórico-bibliográfica de caráter histórico. O ponto de partida foi a análise documental, em particular, do Manifesto dos Pioneiros de 1932, do decreto de criação da universidade Brasileira (Estatuto de 1931), das Leis de Diretrizes e Bases (Lei nº 4.024/1961 e Lei nº 9.394/1996), da Lei da Reforma Universitária do governo militar (Lei nº 5.540/1968), e do Anteprojeto de Reforma Universitária, apresentado ao Congresso Nacional pelo Executivo (2006), atualmente, em sua quarta versão. Para apreender o objeto da investigação, qual seja, formação de professores, partiu-se dos seguintes pressupostos: a formação dos profissionais da educação deve ser feita na universidade; para ser professor é necessária uma formação de qualidade que articule pesquisa e ensino, considerando que a formação inicial deve ser realizada em cursos presenciais, admitindo-se a educação a distância para a formação continuada do profissional da educação que desejar exercer outras funções na escola. A pesquisa tem por objetivo realizar uma análise de documentos definidores de políticas para a formação de profissionais da educação nos períodos 1932 e 1994-2004, na tentativa de identificar algumas aproximações tanto no ideário como nas práticas implementadoras dessas políticas. O referencial teórico foi tecido à luz dos ensinamentos de, dentre outros, Brzezinski (1987, 1996, 2004, 2006); Cunha (1980, 1983, 1998); Fávero (2000); Manacorda (2004); Minto (2006); Sguissardi (2006); Teixeira (1994, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2004). Nas conclusões, chegou-se a algumas aproximações, mas se identificou muito mais distanciamento entre os dois projetos de formação que se inserem nos documentos objeto de análise histórico-documental. A aproximação mais notável é a de que os Pioneiros da Educação Nova se pautavam em um projeto liberal (idealista/humanista/ pragmatista ingênuo) de sociedade, de educação e de formação de professores, ao passo que o anteprojeto de reforma do ensino superior atual se pauta no neoliberalismo, de viés pragmatista centrado na teoria do capital humano, de modo que a sociedade, a educação, as políticas de formação de professores são regulados pelo mercado. Na perspectiva das leis de mercado, a Educação não passa de simples mercadoria disponível para ser adquirida por quem tem bens materiais, os chamados consumidores, e os demais não-clientes são os excluídos da Educação Básica e Superior brasileira.

The central objective of this dissertation is to investigate the historical, philosophical conception of infancy that is present in the document A reconstrução educacional no Brasil: Ao povo e ao governo. Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova (The reconstruction of education in Brazil: to the people and to the government. The Pioneer Manifest of New Education), with the intent of analyzing how much the thought of the New School of Dewey influenced the movement of pedagogical renewing in Brazil in the 1920s and 1930s. In order to do that, this paper is organized in two parts: in the first the theory of the philosopher john Dewey (1859-1952) is analyzed with the purpose of understanding how infancy, conceived by the American educator, is related to a greater social project that involves a renewing in the educational and social fields. In the second part, we analyze how the conceptions of infancy, education, democracy and freedom defended by Dewey contributed to the construction of the speech of the Pioneers of the New School for a new infancy that would be able to participate in the process of national reconstruction. It is possible, by the means of analysis, to perceive that the conception of infancy that is in the document defended by the Pioneers represents a consensus among them, in the way that the New Deweyan School, despite being extremely relevant, shares its position with other theories, specially, the positivism. When concluding this dissertation it was possible to notice that the ideas of the New School that were so noteworthy in the first half of the 20th century are still alive in the current Brazilian educational scenery. Although they are marginalized in the official documents, their presence in the pedagogical speeches that value individuality, freedom of expression, syllabus flexibilization proves that. Therefore, the Deweyan expression to learn how to learn is one of the main points to understand how updated they still are in the pedagogical proposals. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo central investigar a concepção histórico-filosófica de infância presente no documento intitulado A reconstrução educacional no Brasil: Ao povo e ao governo. Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova, com intuito de analisar em que medida o pensamento escolanovista deweyano contribuiu com o movimento de renovação pedagógica no Brasil no decorrer das décadas de 1920 e 1930. Para tanto, o trabalho está organizado em dois capítulos: no primeiro, analisamos a matriz teórica do filósofo John Dewey (1859-1952) com o propósito de entender como a infância concebida pelo educador estadunidense está relacionada a um projeto social mais amplo que envolve uma renovação no campo educacional e social. No segundo capítulo, investigamos como a concepção de infância, de educação, de democracia e de liberdade defendida por Dewey contribuiu para a construção do discurso dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova em prol de uma nova infância que pudesse participar do processo de reconstrução nacional. É possível perceber por meio das análises que a concepção de infância presente no documento defendida pelos Pioneiros representa um consenso entre eles, na medida em que o escolanovismo deweyano, apesar de sua relevância marcante, divide espaço com outras matrizes teóricas, em especial, com o positivismo. Ao concluir esta dissertação notamos que a presença das ideias escolanovistas tão marcantes na primeira metade do século XX ainda estão vivas no cenário educacional brasileiro. Embora marginalizadas nos documentos oficiais, sua presença nos discursos pedagógicos que valorizam a individualidade, liberdade de expressão, flexibilização curricular é prova disso, portanto a expressão deweyana Aprende a aprender é um dos pontos fundamentais para compreendermos sua atualidade nas propostas pedagógicas. / Mestre em Educação

This is a paper about the process of creating meaning in speeches held by president Bush after the terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001. People need tools to orient and understand the surrounding world. They need to create a meaningful orientation in a chaotic world. Some meaning is favoured due to the prevailing social structures. Thru language discourses are produced that helps us understand how the world is constructed. The national state is a discourse that make the world understandable. The discourse create a natural perception of the world as divided into nations. A grand narrative is a story that explain incomprehensive occurrences in society. In times of war these stories become crucial. It is necessary to demonise the enemy to legitimise ones actions. In the US a myth of origin is built around the concept of Manifest Destiny. The myth constitutes that the nation has a unique mission from God to save the rest of the world. In the story retelling the events of September 11th president Bush presents a solution to the problem of terrorists threatening to divide the nation. The nation is constantly on the brink of falling apart. The solution is unity. President Bush recreate the story of USA and the terrorist attacks in a meaningful way, and portrays the nation as a natural entity. The enemy is the evil force that unites the nation.

It is common to find in their public squares and monuments statues of military figures, in addition to reserve specific days to honor them, military parades and ceremonies are displayed in various regions of the country and numerous film productions are performed representing the U.S. involvement in world conflicts. It is felt that the war is part of its fundamental characteristics. Seeking to understand the aspects that have built this tradition and thus marked the history of the United States military interventions around the world, without limiting ourselves to explanations that emphasize only the imperialist interests, but taking into account ideological and dogmatic aspects, we reach a ideology formulated in the nineteenth century, in order to justify the U.S. right to intervene in another nation: the ideology of Manifest Destiny. The three ideas that form the three show Manifest Destiny of American beliefs that are part of their national identity and profoundly marked its history: Puritanism, democracy and capitalism. To peer into the permanence of these three beliefs motivating the U.S. military interventions in the XXI century and still seek mainly new elements that enrich our historical understanding of the American society in his belligerent relations with other regions of the world, analyze imagery of a document period, the film Black Hawk Down (Black Hawk Down, Hidley Scott, 2001), which refers to U.S. military intervention in Somalia in 1993 and eventually present the vision of its directors on the subject. As one of the forms of cultural expression more representative of the United States, the film ends up a material extremely rich set of information about the beliefs and customs United States. / Os Estados Unidos são um país de tradição beligerante. É comum encontrar em suas praças públicas estátuas e monumentos de figuras militares, além de reservarem dias específicos para homenageá-los; desfiles e cerimônias militares são exibidos em diversas regiões do país e inúmeras produções cinematográficas são realizadas representando a participação norte-americana em conflitos mundiais. Percebe-se que a guerra faz parte de suas características fundamentais. Buscando entender os aspectos que construíram tal tradição e, consequentemente, marcaram a história dos Estados Unidos com intervenções militares por todo o mundo, sem nos limitarmos a explicações que ressaltam apenas os interesses imperialistas, mas levando em consideração aspectos dogmáticos e ideológicos, chegamos a uma ideologia formulada no século XIX, com o objetivo de justificar o direito norte-americano de intervir em outra nação: a ideologia do Destino Manifesto. As três idéias que formam o Destino Manifesto mostram três crenças do norte-americano que fazem parte de sua identidade nacional e que marcaram profundamente sua história: o puritanismo, a democracia e o capitalismo. Para perscrutar a permanência dessas três crenças motivando as intervenções militares norte-americanas ainda no século XXI e principalmente buscar elementos novos que enriqueçam a nossa compreensão histórica sobre a sociedade norte-americana em sua relação beligerante com outras regiões do mundo, analiso um documento imagético desse período, a produção cinematográfica Falcão Negro em Perigo (Black Hawk Down, Hidley Scott, 2001), que se reporta à intervenção militar norte-americana na Somália em 1993 e acaba por apresentar a visão de seus realizadores sobre o tema. Sendo uma das formas de manifestação cultural mais representativa dos Estados Unidos, o cinema acaba por configurar um material extremamente rico de informações a respeito das crenças e costumes norte-americanos.

Psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar är ett omfattande och växande folkhälsoproblem, vilket bidrar till att det är betydelsefullt att förebygga psykisk ohälsa och främja psykisk hälsa bland unga. Flertalet aktörer har en viktig funktion inom det förebyggande och hälsofrämjande arbetet, då insatserna bedrivs inom skilda yrkessektorer som har varierande ansvar över området. Delaktighet och samverkan mellan olika aktörerna anses som en förutsättning för att arbetet ska nå framgång. Föreliggande studies syfte är att undersöka aktörers erfarenheter kring att förebygga psykisk ohälsa och att främja psykisk hälsa bland ungdomar. Urvalet består av fem aktörer som arbetar inom området, med yrkestitlarna skolkurator, administratör, samordnare, utvecklingsledare inom folkhälsa och folkhälsochef. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och datainsamlingsmetoden utgörs av kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer. En intervjuguide användes som stöd under intervjuerna och samtliga intervjuer spelades in och transkriberades samt analyserades med en manifest innehållsanalys. Studiens resultat påvisar att aktörernas arbetsmetoder inbegriper exempelvis föreläsningar, utbildning i första hjälpen för psykisk hälsa, förse elevhälsan med statistik samt föräldraskapsstöd. Resultatet visar att främjande faktorer för ungas psykiska hälsa innefattar att ungdomar upplever stöd och trygghet från vuxna. Utvecklingsmöjligheter med arbetet beskrivs vara att skolan och elevhälsan bör få utökade resurser, samt att undersöka ungdomars upplevelser kring psykisk ohälsa och hälsa. Framtida utmaningar med arbetet är att psykisk ohälsa och suicid ökar bland ungdomar samt att höja yrkesverksammas och ungdomars kunskap kring psykisk ohälsa och hälsa.

The present work is focused on project management and the relationship of this discipline to agile approaches. The aim was to design a generic agile project management methodolo-gy, which is based on Agile values and attitudes. Although the proposed methodology is mainly based on agile software development methodologies, it is also applicable to any type of project. The secondary objective was to propose possible ways of using this generic agile project management methodology in teaching 4IT414 - ICT Project Management, including the creation of documents to support this application. The work is divided into theoretical and practical. First the author defined the basic terms and knowledge of project management and subsequent-them, then also agile approaches and methodologies. In the practical part was introduced generic methodology for agile pro-ject management and proposed a possible way of involving the teaching methodology, including the design documents to serve. The objectives were met. Work can serve students agile approaches and project management, their teachers and the general public. The proposed methodology may be used for studies and real environments in various companies and institutions.

Agile Methoden sind in der industriellen Anwendung Stand der Technik, wobei Scrum das am häufigsten verwendete Prozess-Framework zur effektiven Entwicklung komplexer Produkte ist. Entworfen wurde Scrum von Ken Schwaber und Jeff Sutherland, die ebenfalls 2001 das agile Manifest mitentwickelten, welches die vier Werte und zwölf Prinzipien für die Arbeit mit agilen Methoden definiert. Scrum zeichnet sich unter anderem durch flache Hierarchien aus. Hierdurch erhalten Mitarbeitende zunehmend Verantwortung und es entsteht aufgrund der vermehrt stattfindenden Kommunikation eine erhöhte Transparenz in allen Prozessen. Diese Eigenschaften bringen viele Vorteile aber auch Herausforderungen mit sich. Einerseits kann hohe Transparenz durch Offenlegung der Arbeit zu Unsicherheit seitens der Mitarbeitenden führen, andererseits sorgt die erhöhte Verantwortung auch für einen größeren Einfluss der einzelnen Team-Mitglieder auf das Ergebnis der Arbeitsprozesse. Die Motivation und Leistungsbereitschaft der Mitarbeitenden sind demzufolge ausschlaggebend für die erfolgreiche Produktentwicklung mit Scrum. Gamification ist ein neuer, vielversprechender Ansatz zur Steigerung der Motivation und wird dabei definiert als „die Verwendung von Spiel-Designelementen in Nicht-Spielkontexten“. Die dieser Veröffentlichung zugrundeliegende Forschung bildet die Grundlage zur Entwicklung von dedizierten Gamification-Strategien mit dem Ziel der Optimierung von Motivation und folglich der Leistung der Mitarbeitenden im Scrum-Entwicklungsprozess.

The objective of the thesis is to explore if the European Union membership has changed the Swedish Green Party’s use of parlance, ideology and political content. To explore this, a quantitative content analysis has been done on election manifestos during a 30-year period on national parliamentary manifestos as well as European Parliament manifestos. A framework of green ideology as well as previous research of the Swedish Green’s is used to further the findings from the manifestos. The thesis has found that the European Union membership has affected the Swedish Greens which is seen in the change of how they use language, their transformation of ideas throughout the years as well as their views on political areas and how that has expanded. Further research is recommended to additionally explore the subject, a suggestion is to increase the material because that was an issue in this essay.
