This dissertation deals with how didactic fiction and writers of child literature of the 18th and 19th centuries tried to strike terror into their young listeners to make them obedient to the social and moral norms of adults. Particular attention is devoted to texts where children themselves function as protagonists. Fairy-tales by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm but also by Ludwig Bechstein and Charles Perrault are taken into consideration as are examples of child literature by Johann Baptist Strobl, a less famous didactic philanthropist at the end of the Enlightenment. The theme of horror and intimidation is followed and analyzed with special regard to narrative techniques, but also to objectives of educational and socialisation processes. The dissertation argues that many of the recurring stereotypes and topoi in these horror stories for children can be traced back to popular superstition and other notions of an early preliterary and oral society.

Syftet med föreliggande avhandlingsarbete är att få större kunskap om några av förutsättningarna för förskolans pedagogiska verksamhet och få veta mer om vad som faktiskt sker ute i förskolans barngrupper. I avhandlingen kartläggs tolv förskollärares föreställningar om förskolan och uppfattningar om arbete, lek och inlärning samt hur de agerar i barngrupp med avseende på dessa begrepp. Föreställningar och uppfattningar hos tjuogoen lärarkandidater har också kartlagts, dels vid böljan av deras förskollärarutbildning, dels efter avslutad utbildning.1981 presenterade Socialstyrelsen en ny arbetsplan för förskolan. Den kan betraktas som ett försök till lösning av olika problem inom förskolan som utvecklats under en period av ca tio år. Arbete, lek och inlärning framställdes i arbetsplanen som centrala begrepp vilka gav struktur och innehåll åt förskolans pedagogiska verksamhet. I avhandlingen fokuseras föreställningar och uppfattningar. Dessa kan definieras som strukturerande och integrerande principer av övergripande art som är avgörande för hur en individ tolkar och värderar omvärlden. Förskollärarnas och lärarkandidaternas föreställningar och uppfattningar kartlades genom intervjuanalyser. En särskild kortsorteringsuppgift konstruerades och gavs i samband med intervjuerna. Förskollärarna observerades också i barngrupp.Resultatet visar att några av förskollärarna hade föreställningar om förskolan som "en institution för kompensation" eller som "en institution för utveckling". De flesta av dem såg förskolan som "en institution för anpassning". De hade även skilda uppfattningar om arbete, lek och inlärning. De olika uppfattningskategorierna kan sägas ge uttryck för ett mer eller mindre "pedagogiserat" eller "psykologiserat" synsätt; "vuxencentrerat" eller "barncentrerat" synsätt Observationerna visar att förskollärarna inte helt agerade i enlighet med den syn de gav uttryck för i intervjuerna. De agerade mer lika varandra i praktiken än vad man hade anledning att anta. De flesta av dem uttryckte i sin praktik att förskolan är en institution för "anpassning", endast få gav uttryck för "utveckling" och ingen alls för "kompensation". De uppfattningar som främst kom till uttryck i praktiken var att arbete är "förelagd uppgift", lek är en "terapeutisk nödvändighet" och inlärning är "social träning". I avhandlingen diskuteras resultaten i belysning av förskolans utveckling under 1970-talet. Professionalisering, yttre förutsättningar för verksamheten och förskolans tradition är begrepp som också används i diskussionen och för förklaring av resultaten. / The purpose of this dissertation is to acquire greater knowledge of some of the conditions of the educational activities of pre-school as well as of what is actually going on in pre-school. The study examines twelve pre-school teachers' notions of pre-school and conceptions of work, play and learning and how they interact with children with respect to these concepts. The notions and conceptions of a group of twenty-one trainee teachers have also been studied at the beginning and at the end of their training. In 1981 a new plan for pre-schooling was presented by The National Board of Health and Welfare which can be regarded as an attempt at solving pre-school problems arisen the last ten year period. Work, play and learning were the central concepts in the plan, providing pre-school, day-nurseries and part-time-groups, with structure and content. In the study, notions and conceptions are key-words. They can be defined as structuring and integrating, comprehensive principles determining how an individual interprets and evaluates the surrounding world. Notions and conceptions are examined through interview analyses. A special classification item was designed and administered in connection with the interviews. The pre-school teachers were also observed interacting with the group of children for fifteen hours.The results show that some of the pre-school teachers had notions of pre-school as "an institution for compensation" or as "an institution for development". Most of them regarded pre-school as "an institution for adjustment". They also had different conceptions of work, play and learning. The categories of conceptions express a more or less "educationalized" or "psychologized" attitude, an "adult-referenced" or "child-referenced" attitude. Regarding the conceptions of activities it is maintained that the trainee teachers have become "educationalized" in the course of their training. They expressed fewer notions that can be described as "child-referenced" or " psychologized". The observations show that the pre-school teachers did not act quite in accordance with the view they expressed in the interviews. They acted more uniformly than could be expected. The practices of most pre-school teachers indicated pre-school as "an institution for adjustment", only rarely "development", never "compensation". The most frequent conceptions expressed in their practices were that work is "assigned tasks", play is a "therapeutic necessity" and learning is "social training". The results are dicussed in the light of the development of pre-school in Sweden during the 1970s. Professionally, frame-factors, tradition in pre-school are important concepts for the understanding of the results. / digitalisering@umu

Oregon's nursery and greenhouse industry has ranked the first in the State's agricultural for 18 years. The majority of nursery sales from the Pacific Northwest come from Oregon. Due to data limitations, empirical study of the Oregon nursery industry is rare. The present dissertation consists of three essays that analyze the demand and supply of inputs and outputs and the relationship between producers and retailers in the Oregon nursery industry. Chapter 2 identifies the major factors affecting farm labor supply and demand and evaluates their relative importance in the Oregon nursery industry from 1991 to 2008. Empirical results show that border control effort doesn't have an influential role in labor supply, while the Oregon and Mexican minimum wage do. It is because of the substantial gap between the U.S. and Mexican economies, reflected for an example in the minimum wage gap, which attracts a continual flow of immigrants. Risk of border apprehension is not great enough to prevent the flow. Increases in Oregon minimum wage is more effective than border apprehension policies in boosting the average wage and in reducing the number of hours that illegal immigrants work in the nursery sector. Chapter 3 investigates producers' and retailers' choices of, and reactions to, various contract types in the Oregon nursery industry from 2005 to 2010. As new and fast-growing retailers in the industry, big-box stores are less likely than independent retailers to make pre-order contracts with the producer. However, once a pre-order contract is chosen, big-box stores demand more days of pre-order interval than independent retailers do. Transactions with independent retailers exhibit – on average over the sample range – scale economies and scope diseconomies. Boosting per-transaction revenue scale and the number of species sold to big-box stores enhances transaction efficiency. Chapter 4 examines the interaction between supply and demand in Oregon nursery products. The result indicates that the production and transaction costs are major drivers on the supply side, while transportation costs and consumer demand for nursery products play important roles on the demand side. At the genus level, the supply elasticities of coniferous plants are larger than those of deciduous plants, which in turn are higher than those of flowering plants. The demand elasticities are the lowest in coniferous trees followed by deciduous plants, then flowering plants. Price discounts on plants with high demand elasticities would significantly boost sales and enlarge the market, while those on plants with low demand elasticities would have less sales impact. Empirically, patenting seems to bring no direct signs of greater profitability. The wholesale nursery may wish to reconsider the pricing and marketing policies of its patented plants to differentiate them more effectively from its non-patented plants. / Graduation date: 2013

A presente dissertação foi desenvolvida no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, na linha de pesquisa “Fundamentos e Práticas de Enfermagem em Saúde da Mulher, Criança e Adolescente”. Trata-se de um estudo de origem qualitativa, cujo referencial teóricometodológico é a Análise de Discurso da linha francesa apresentada por Michel Pêcheux. O objetivo desta investigação foi compreender os possíveis efeitos de sentidos produzidos a partir do discurso da mídia impressa jornalística no ano de 2005, sobre a atuação das profissionais enfermeiras no atendimento ao parto normal. O corpus desta pesquisa foi constituído por: a) documentos oficiais acerca das políticas de atenção a saúde da mulher no Brasil e do incentivo à formação e manutenção do enfermeiro na cena de parto; b) materiais que abordavam a evolução histórica da parturição no mundo e no Brasil; c) documentos referentes à legislação profissional e deontologia das categorias profissionais Enfermagem e Medicina, e legislação do ensino da Enfermagem; d) materiais escritos e materiais visuais publicados na mídia impressa jornalística, questionando e/ou defendendo o parto feito por enfermeiras. O período escolhido para a coleta de informações contidas na mídia impressa jornalística, foi o ano de 2005, propositalmente em virtude dos fatos e muitas discussões ocorridas.

Os viveiros produzem diversas espécies simultaneamente numa mesma área. Entre as espécies, há muita variação na arquitetura foliar, especificamente nos ângulos foliares. A falta de conhecimento sobre a lâmina adequada e como os ângulos foliares afetam a interceptação e captura da água, limitam a eficiência da irrigação e, consequentemente, a qualidade das mudas florestais. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar se o ângulo foliar das mudas de nove espécies florestais nativas e as lâminas de água aplicadas no viveiro afetam a qualidade morfológica, fisiológica e nutricional das mudas; a fração de lixiviação e a condutividade elétrica da solução lixiviada; e a qualidade morfológica das plantas após o plantio em vaso. As avaliações foram realizadas ao final do ciclo de produção de cada espécie no viveiro, através das variáveis: altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do colo, massa seca aérea, radicular e total, índice de qualidade de Dickson, área de projeção da copa, conformação do sistema radicular, potencial hídrico foliar, índice SPAD, transpiração diária, teores dos pigmentos foliares clorofila a, b, carotenoides e antocianinas, fração de lixiviação, condutividade elétrica da solução lixiviada e acúmulo nutricional. A qualidade morfológica das plantas após o plantio em vaso foi avaliada em intervalos de 30 dias, durante 120 dias, através das variáveis altura da parte aérea e diâmetro do colo. Aqui mostramos que, nas espécies com ângulos foliares maiores, a aplicação de lâminas menores resulta em mudas com maior qualidade. Nas espécies com ângulos menores, é necessária a aplicação de lâminas maiores, exceto quando a área de projeção da copa é pequena. A partir desse conhecimento, o ângulo foliar poderá começar a ser adotado entre os critérios para agrupar as espécies no viveiro, a fim de que a irrigação praticada evite o desperdício de água e fertilizantes, bem como aumente a qualidade morfológica, fisiológica e nutricional das mudas florestais. / In many nurseries, the personal experience of nurseries is the primary method used to determine when and how much time to irrigate. Nurseries produce several species simultaneously in the same area. Among the species, there is much variation in foliar architecture, specifically in the leaf angles. The lack of knowledge about the proper water depth and how the leaf angles affect the interception and capture of water, limit irrigation efficiency and consequently seedlings quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the leaf angle of nine species of tree seedlings and the water depths applied in the nursery affect the morphological, physiological and nutritional seedlings quality; the leaching fraction and the electrical conductivity of the solution leached; and the morphological quality of the plants after planting in pot. The evaluations were performed at the end of the production cycle of each species in the nursery, through the following variables: height, stem diameter, shoot, root and total dry mass, Dickson quality index, crown projection area, conformation root system, leaf water potential, SPAD index, daily perspiration, leaf chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids and anthocyanins, leaching fraction, electrical conductivity of the solution leached and nutritional accumulation. The morphological quality of the plants after planting was evaluated at intervals of 30 days, during 120 days, through the variables height of and stem diameter. Here we show that, in species with larger leaf angles, the application of smaller water depths results in seedlings with higher quality. In species with smaller angles, it is necessary to apply larger water depths, except when crown projection area of seedling is small. From this knowledge, leaf angle can begin to be adopted among the criteria to group the species in the nursery, so that the irrigation practiced avoids the waste of water and fertilizers, as well as increase the morphological, physiological and nutritional tree seedlings quality. / FAPESP: 2013/17447-8

My final thesis describes ways of development of cultural properity, trainings of mind and possibilities of motivation in frame pedagogy free time specialized on a Primary School. Theoretical part contains and explains terms culture, palate (taste), elegance, arts, motivation and free time. Also specify primary school education, creative discourse, in this period and shows the use plastic art in public nursery like one of the key options of spending free time. Practical part focus on a project of plastic arts divided into creative activities realized in the public nursery of the pupils of primary school. Each activity containt detailed motivation, described procedure, conclusion and evaluation of children. This part contains also relationships and dependences between all cultural subjects such as arts, dramatization, music, and gymnastics. Explain as well the structure, application for needs of primary school. Particularity of the work of children in the age of primary school is creativity, spontaneity, unprompted action, enthusiasm, positive stance. When the children are properly instructed they cooperate with their equal, tolerate them and are very help full to each other.

The diploma paper consists of two parts {--} theoretical and practical. There are explained notions related to visual art motivation in the theoretical part like creativity, imagination and fantasy, explanation of chosen visual art techniques, definition of younger pupil age, explication of pedagogy of leisure time and pedagogue of leisure. The practical part consists of visual art project which is composed of visual art activities. The visual art project is realized at the school nursery with pupils of the first and the second classes. Each part of the project contains various motivational elements. There is an obvious interconnection among particular subjects {--} fine art, physical education and music.

The research was divided into two parts and mapped the current situation in the region of Czech Republic and Česke Budějovice in terms of care services for children under three years of age and respondents' oppinions related to these services, including relations with age, residence, education and reflection on starting work earlier than three years of a child. Statistical analysis was aimed at assessing dependency factors and the subsequent search of categories and where was a significant difference. It was a quantitative research. Object of inquiry was set 716 selected respondents, namely parents of children under the age of three from the Region of České Budějovice.

O trabalho analisa os registros escritos produzidos por quatro professoras que atuavam com dois grupos de crianças de 2 a 3 anos em um Centro de Educação Infantil da rede municipal de educação da cidade de São Paulo e que participavam de um processo de formação continuada realizado por uma organização não-governamental ao longo de dois anos. A análise dos registros dos dois grupos apontou que a maioria das atividades mencionadas é realizada coletivamente, ou seja, a mesma proposta é oferecida para todas as crianças, ao mesmo tempo, o que sugere que as crianças têm longo período de espera. Os registros mostraram que o trabalho com as sequências de leitura proposto pelo projeto de formação trouxe um diferencial à rotina das crianças, que passaram a escutar histórias lidas todos os dias e um repertório de enredos, imagens e personagens passou a fazer parte do cotidiano dos dois agrupamentos. Os dados apreendidos dos registros revelaram uma ausência de conhecimentos sobre a natureza do papel de professor de crianças pequenas. Muitas de suas formas de agir são emprestadas do ensino fundamental. A sequência dos registros, porém, revela que as professoras passaram a considerar cada vez mais o ponto de vista das crianças. A análise feita apontou que os registros diários das práticas pelas professoras podem ser instrumentos estruturantes do trabalho por elas realizado, e que devem ser incorporados na prática dos coordenadores pedagógicos responsáveis pela formação continuada das equipes nas unidades. / The present dissertation aims to analyze the written records produced by four teachers in charge of two groups of children aged between 0-3 at a school which belongs to São Paulos City Council network. For a period of two years these teachers underwent a process of continuous formation by a non-governamental organization of Education for Teachers. The analyses of the records regarding both groups showed that most of the activities mentioned by the teachers were carried out in a collective way; in other words, the same task was proposed to all the children at the same time, which indicates that the latter were kept waiting for long periods of time. The records reveal that the work done on reading sequences as proposed in the teachers Training Course provided the childrens life at school with a distinguishing new element: they were given the opportunity to listen to stories which were read to them each and every day so that both groups were able to include in their daily routine a repertoire of plots, characters and images. However, the data collected from the teachers written material revealed their unawareness of important forms of knowledge regarding the nature of their role in teaching very young children. It was found that these teachers employed the kind of actions typically used at Elementary or Grade School. Nonetheless, the analysis of the sequence of their written records makes it clear that these teachers increasingly came to take into account the childrens point-of-view. The conclusion that can be drawn from the careful analysis of daily written records of their teaching is that they constitute a structuring element in the work carried out and should, therefore, be incorporated into the practice of school coordinators, responsible for the continuous training of their teams.
