Nesta tese apresentamos a contribuição da população Yao no contexto da luta armada de independência de Moçambique que teve lugar de 25 de setembro de 1964 a 7 de setembro de 1974. Nesta luta os Yao integraram-se ao movimento armado dirigido pela FRENTE DE LIBERTAÇÃO DE MOÇAMBIQUE (FRELIMO), organização nacionalista moçambicana, contra o governo colonial português, tendo se destacado no desenvolvimento dos setores oriental e sul do Niassa e no que este governo designou de Estrada de Mataca. A participação Yao, documentada em fontes coloniais portuguesas, esteve diretamente ligada na importância geoestratégica que este corredor desempenhava ao interligar a Tanzânia, onde estava sediada a FRELIMO, as frentes militares do Niassa e o território do Malawi, pelo interior do Niassa, e os situou no interior do processo efetivo - político e militar - da disseminação do discurso nacionalista moçambicano. A análise da historiografia dos séculos XVIII, XIX e XX sobre os Yao permitiu observar a dinâmica do seu imaginário político que a despeito de suas experiências de poderio económico e militar e de dominação administrativa portuguesa demonstraram sua integração (não isenta de tensões e contradições) na luta armada de independência nacional do país. A pesquisa se baseou na documentação consultada no Arquivo Histórico de Moçambique, em Maputo, no Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (ANTT) e no Arquivo Histórico Militar, ambos em Lisboa. / In this thesis, we present the contribution of the Yao population in the context of the armed struggle for independence of Mozambique that took place from September 25, 1964 to September 7, 1974. In this struggle, the Yao joined the armed movement led by the FRONT OF LIBERATION OF MOZAMBIQUE (FRELIMO), a Mozambican nationalist organization, against the Portuguese colonial government, having distinguished itself in the development of the eastern and southern sectors of Niassa and what this government has designated as the \"Mataca Road\". The Yao participation, documented in Portuguese colonial sources, was directly linked to the geostrategic importance that this corridor played in interconnecting Tanzania (where FRELIMO was based), the Niassa military fronts and the Malawian territory, through the interior of Niassa, which placed them within the effective process - political and military - of the dissemination of the Mozambican nationalist discourse. The analysis of the historiography of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries on the Yao made it possible to observe the dynamics of his political imagination which, despite his experiences of economic and military power and Portuguese administrative domination, demonstrated his integration (not free of tensions and contradictions) in Armed struggle of the country\'s national independence. The research was based on the documentation consulted in the Mozambican Historical Archive in Maputo, in the National Archive of the Torre do Tombo (ANTT) and in the Historical Military Archive, both in Lisbon.

A cárie dentária é um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública dentro das patologias bucais ao nível mundial. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a prevalência de cárie e de fluorose dentária em adolescentes das regiões urbana e suburbana do município de Maputo e identificar a sua associação com placa bacteriana, estado nutricional, frequência do consumo de açúcar e concentração de flúor na água de abastecimento. A amostragem das escolas foi feita por conglomerados, composta por cinco escolas públicas urbanas e cinco suburbanas, tendo com unidades amostrais 601 adolescentes com 12 anos de idade, selecionados aleatoriamente. Os exames foram realizados por um examinador calibrado, sob condições padronizadas, usando índice CPOD, índice de fluorose, PHP e IMC. Foi aplicado um questionário para registrar o consumo de açúcar e foi realizada a análise da água de abastecimento. A análise bivariada foi utilizada para verificar diferenças de CPOD, fluorose, placa bacteriana, estado nutricional, frequência do consumo do açúcar e concentração de flúor na água de abastecimento público entre as regiões urbanas e suburbanas. A Correlação de Pearson foi aplicada para verificar associação entre CPOD e PHP. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. O CPOD encontrado foi 0,99 (± 1,65). As crianças em escolas urbanas apresentaram menor prevalência de cárie dentária (CPOD = 0,84 ± 1,49) em relação às crianças em escolas suburbanas (CPOD = 1,14 ± 1.80) (p = 0,03). Apenas 8,15% apresentaram graus de fluorose entre muito leve a moderada. A maioria das crianças apresentaram higiene bucal deficiente. Os casos de desnutrição foram mais encontrados nas escolas suburbanas (n = 109; 36,22%) do que nas escolas urbanas (n = 66; 22,00%), (p <0,00). A frequência de consumo do açúcar foi maior entre os escolares urbanos em comparação com suburbanos (p <0,00). O nível de flúor na água de consumo nas escolas urbanas foi de 0,4 ppm F, superior ao nível de flúor nas escolas suburbanas, que foi de 0,2 ppm F. Os resultados demosntraram que a cárie dentária não deve ser considerada um grande problema de saúde pública em Maputo. As áreas urbanas e suburbanas apresentaram distribuição desigual na prevalência de cárie, estado nutricional e nível de flúor na água de abastecimento, evidenciando a necessidade de intervenção no grupo de maior de risco. / Dental caries is the one of the largest public health problem in oral health worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries and dental fluorosis in children from urban and suburban area of the Maputos city and identify its association with dental plaque, nutritional status, frequency of consumption of sugar and the concentration of fluoride in the water supply. Sampling of schools was made by conglomerates, composed by five urban public schools and five suburban, with 601 adolescents 12 years of age, selected randomly. Clinical examinations were performed under standardized conditions by a calibrated examiner using DMFT index, index of fluorosis, PHP, BMI. It was applied a questionnaire about consumption of sugar and was made analysis of water supply. Bivariate analysis was used to verify differences in DMFT, fluorosis, dental plaque, nutritional status, frequency of consumption of sugar and concentration of fluoride in the public water supply between the urban and suburban areas. The Pearson\'s correlation was applied to verify correlation between DMFT and PHP. The level of significance was set at 5%. The mean DMFT was 0.99 (± 1.65). Children in urban schools had lower prevalence of dental caries (DMFT = 0.84 ± 1.49) in comparison with children in suburban schools with high prevalence (DMFT = 1.14 ± 1.80) (p = 0.03). Only 8.15% had very mild to moderate fluorosis score. Most of children presented poor oral hygiene. Cases of malnutrition were found in most suburban schools (n = 109; 36.22%) than in urban schools (n = 66; 22.00%) (p=0.03). The frequency of sugar consumption was higher among urban children compared to suburban schools (p <0.00). The level of fluoride in water consumption in urban schools was 0.4 ppm F, above the level of fluoride in suburban schools, which was 0.2 ppm F. The results showed that dental caries should not be considered a public health problem in Maputo. The urban and suburban areas presented inequity distribution in the prevalence of dental caries, nutritional status and level of fluoride in water supply, highlighting the need for intervention in the highest risk.

Mapiko é o nome dado à manifestação cultural tradicional e à máscara utilizada por ela. Tal manifestação mistura música, dança e cena. Rodeado de mistérios e segredos; ao som de batuques e cantos tradicionais, o mascarado realiza sua dança. A manifestação, tendo como base o imaginário do povo Maconde, apropria-se do mundo espiritual e cria a convicção da existência de ligação lógica entre o dançarino mascarado e as suas crenças. O Mapiko possibilita, através da arte, a representação dos diferentes modos de estar na vida espiritual, usando a força da sua história e do seu cotidiano, transmitindo em cada dança as suas convicções. Este trabalho aborda aspectos do Mapiko tais como sua origem, tradição, cantos, batuques, máscaras e especificidades da dança realizada pelo mascarado. A pesquisa também reflete sobre questões acerca dos segredos, mistérios e limites da pesquisa acadêmica sobre tal tradição. A tese inicia-se com a descrição do trabalho de campo realizado em Moçambique em 2014 e explora as descobertas e dificuldades encontradas. O trabalho propõe, portanto, ao leitor, um mergulho no universo do Mapiko, passeando entre mistérios, cores, aromas, imagens e sabores do povo Maconde. A tese é acompanhada por um DVD que contém um documentário sobre o Mapiko e o processo de aprendizagem vivenciado pela atriz-pesquisadora em Moçambique / Abstract: Mapiko is a cultural expression of Maconde¿s people original from Cabo Delgado¿s province on the north of Mozambique. Mapiko is the traditional cultural expression and the mask used on it. This expression brings together music, dance and scene. Surrounded by mystery and secrecy; to the sound of drums and traditional song, the masquerade holds his dance. The expression has its base on the imaginary of Maconde¿s people who appropriates the spiritual world, creating the belief of the existence of a logical link between the masquerade dancer and his beliefs. Trough art, Mapiko makes possible the representation of different ways of being in the spiritual life. It uses the power of its stories and its everyday aspects conveying in each dance its beliefs. The present work addresses the aspects of Mapiko such as its origins, tradition, songs, drumming, masks and particularities in the dance performed by the masquerade. The research also reflects on issues about the secrets, mystery and limits of the academic research about the theme. The dissertation begins with the description of the fieldwork in 2014 in Mozambique and explores its discoveries and difficulties. The work propose the reader to dive into Mapiko¿s universe, along with its mysteries, colours, aromas, images and flavours of Maconde¿s people. A DVD accompanies the dissertation which contains a documentary about Mapiko and the learning process experienced by the actress-researcher in Mozambique / Mestrado / Teatro, Dança e Performance / Mestra em Artes Visuais

Esta tese se dedica a investigar o papel dos guerreiros (identificados e reconhecidos como \"nguni\") nas redes de poder de Gaza, formado no sul do atual Moçambique ao longo do século XIX. Associados ao inkosi e integrados a desenvolvimentos de longo alcance, os guerreiros transpunham fronteiras em perspectiva de comunicação, atribuindo com a sua movimentação dimensões de reciprocidade ou interdição, enunciadas em aproximação ritualizada. Na historiografia, a referência ao guerreiro se alinha em relação a dois eixos principais de análise, apresentados muitas vezes de forma associada. O primeiro, descreve o comportamento agressivo como supostamente inerente ao homem \"africano primitivo\", em uma redução do social ao natural, que retém o guerreiro na atemporalidade de sua própria selvageria. No segundo, a perspectiva econômica se sobrepõe como fundamento analítico, apresentando a violência como o resultado da combinação entre escassez de recursos e fraqueza das forças produtivas. Afastando-se da interpretação da violência como um impulso humano simples e universal e do paradigma \"que se concentra na luta pela reprodução e na competição por sobrevivência e status\", como observou o historiador Jon Abbink, esta tese busca recompor as relações sociais de força, poder e dominação que moldavam a potencialidade do ato violento, ao tempo em que os guerreiros interconectavam histórias e influíam em seus cursos, com sua movimentação e interação múltiplas. / This thesis is dedicated to investigating the role of warriors (identified and recognized as \"nguni\") in the Gaza power networks, formed in the south of present-day Mozambique during the 19th century. Associated with the inkosi and integrated with long-range developments, the warriors crossed borders in perspective of communication, attributing with their movement dimensions of reciprocity or interdiction, enunciated in a ritualized approach. In historiography, the reference to the warrior aligns in relation to two main axes of analysis, often presented in a related manner. The first describes aggressive behavior as supposedly inherent in \"primitive African\" man, in a reduction from social to natural, which retains the warrior in the timelessness of his own savagery. In the second, the economic perspective overlaps as an analytical foundation, presenting violence as the result of a combination of scarce resources and weak productive factors. Moving away from the interpretation of violence as a simple and universal human impulse and from the paradigm \"which focuses on the struggle for reproduction and competition for survival and status\", as the historian Jon Abbink remarked, this thesis aims to recompose the social relations of power, and domination that shaped the potentiality of the violent act, at a time when warriors interconnected histories and influenced their courses with their multiple movements and interactions.

The present thesis analyzes the tendencies of the contemporary Mozambican narrative prose (novel). Taking into account the fact that Mozambican literature is an emerging and post-colonial one, the analysis is focused on the issue of how a literature participates in the process of consolidation of the national/cultural identity of this country. This thesis studies three important subjects of the Mozambican narrative prose: language (parting from the work of Mia Couto), history (based on the works by Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, João Paulo Borges Coelho and Lília Momplé) and tradition (examining two novels by Paulina Chiziane). Key-words: Mozambique, Post-colonial, 20th century Mozambican Literature Language, History, Tradition, Mozabicanity

The title of this paper gives three variants of what historically is the same name: Koti = the present-day indigenous name of Koti Island; Ngoji = the older form of the same name; Angoche = the official name of the town, adapted from the name of the AKoti people EKoti is the language of Angoche, a town on the coast of Nampula Province, in Mozambique. EKoti is in most respects very similar to the neighbouring coastal varieties of Makhuwa, but it also has many lexical and morphological items that are derived from Swahili. My colleague F. U. Mucanheia, co-author of our forthcoming grammar of EKoti, has recorded a story about the origin of Koti Island and its people. In the present paper, I summarize the text of this oral tradition, and I compare it to the dynastic traditions from Angoche and to those found in the Kilwa chronicle, pointing out differences but also establishing links.

This report begins with the presentation of &amp;quot;the state of the art&amp;quot; as well as the foreseen trend in the education system in Mozambique and analyses the present situation in the area utilizing media opportunities for teaching and/or learning. Basing on this analysis, the prevailing problems and the aims (this might need research) of the study shall then be identified and formulated (chapter 1 and 2). The necessity to carry out the study is grounded by the worldwide stormy developments utilizing modern information technology. These developments do also apply to Mozambique as the pre-studies show. A flashback on the history of teaching-/learning system as well as on present solutions utilizing new media and new information as well as communication technology shall be discussed in the third chapter. To this end, the study shall contribute to identify the lacking of previous concepts as well as to introduce an orientation as to the current world sustainable system. The software for training on the market at present show (without doubt) that they reflect developers' imaginations (knowingly or unknowingly) as to what learning and teaching actually is and how this process take place. Basing on this knowledge, it is worth to work out the starting point as to teaching-/learning methodology before working out a conception. In addition, it shall be made clear (in the course of analysis) that the dominating criterion for customizing a teaching-/learning system is that system or its form that has been realised. The contribution of this report, further, is to make the definition of the media more precise by adding new terminology that shall be discussed and viewed from different viewpoints. This shall in turn contribute to a clear and sound understanding of the media. In the past years, a series of different teaching and methodologies concepts on the design of computer-based teaching-/learning environment were developed and discussed. Among them is the so called &amp;quot;anchored instruction&amp;quot; of the cognition and Technology Group based at Vanderbilt University and the Cognitive Apprenticeship developed by Collins, Brown and their co-workers. This shall be dealt with in the fourth chapter. On that basis, and taking other factors into consideration, such as design, functionality, applications scenarios, boundary conditions as well as user backgrounds, a more effective teaching-/learning environment can be predicted and consequently a concrete design proposal can be derived. The guidelines strived as to the design of context-sensitive multimedia teaching and learning environment shall not only be treated intuitive, but implemented technically in a prototype. In so doing they can then be evaluated and adopted. The so evaluated guidelines and other relevant design proposals that can find use in other areas with respect to the demand of the study as a whole shall make the results of this report. The fifth chapter shall describe the development and evaluation of prototype-art &amp;quot;e-Aula&amp;quot; solutions basing on the developed and grounded conception. The conception constitutes of a hybrid solution in the form of training software that supports both freelance as well as classroom learning. This training technology solution is called teaching-/learning environment and it is being characterised through its feature that it embodies two system interfaces having functions (learning environment and teaching arrangement) that basically refer to the same data collection (media) that can be accessed by the in different ways. This function rates &amp;quot;e-Aula&amp;quot; at a relatively higher position in comparison with a number of learning systems. The sixth chapter shall then summarise the important findings of the report and recommend areas for further research.

This study investigates the possibilities for an end-user mobile application that increases access to healthcare in rural communities in Mozambique. The country is facing multiple healthcare-related challenges, including a high prevalence of infectious diseases and a low density of physicians. Improved accessibility to mobile phones opens up the possibility of using mobile health applications to improve health outcomes for people in the country. A literature review, interviews, and questionnaires are conducted to better understand the country, its healthcare system, and its people. Based on the collected data, requirements are developed for a mobile health application that provides healthcare information to patients. The requirements are evaluated based on user testing and the framework tool Dynamics of Social Practice. The perceived usefulness and material prerequisites suggest that the application could get a foothold in Linga Linga and similar rural areas, provided that it’s accompanied by training and redesigned to facilitate ease of use. In the future, the requirements’ technical, operational and economic feasibility could also be investigated. / Denna studie undersöker möjligheterna för en slutanvändarmobilapplikation, som ökar tillgången till sjukvård på landsbygden i Moçambique. Landet står inför flera hälso- och sjukvårdsrelaterade utmaningar, inklusive en hög förekomst av infektionssjukdomar och en låg täthet av läkare. Förbättrad tillgänglighet till mobiltelefoner öppnar för möjligheten att använda mobila hälsoapplikationer för att förbättra hälsopåföljder för människor i landet. En litteraturstudie, intervjuer och enkäter genomförs för att bättre förstå landet, dess sjukvårdssystem och dess folk. Baserat på den insamlade datan utvecklas krav på en mobil hälsoapplikation som ger hälsoinformation till patienter. Kraven utvärderas utifrån användartester och ramverktyget Dynamics of Social Practice. Den upplevda användbarheten och de materiella förutsättningarna tyder på att applikationen kan få fotfäste i Linga Linga och liknande landsbygdsområden förutsatt att den åtföljs av utbildning och omdesignas för att underlätta användarvänligheten. I framtiden kan även kravens tekniska, operativa och ekonomiska genomförbarhet undersökas.

Em outros termos, qual é o papel que o PNUD como agente de desenvolvimento está comprindo nos países em desenvolvimento para responder às aspirações sociais e econômicas destes povos? Uma das perguntas mais oportunas a essa altura é de saber qual é o nível ou melhor o valor da ajuda efetiva deste organismo no tocante da cooperação técnica internacional, sobretudo do ponto de vista tecnológico, objetivando a redução da fissura entre países ricos e pobres e a melhoria da qualidade de vida destes últimos? É a partir dessas considerações que vamos tentar encaminhar nosso trabalho.
