Introduction : Les adolescents avec déficiences physiques en transition vers la vie adulte éprouvent des difficultés à établir une participation sociale optimale. Cette étude explore les retombées d'un programme de cirque social sur la participation sociale de ces jeunes selon leur point de vue et celui de leurs parents. Méthode : Étude qualitative exploratoire d’orientation phénoménologique. Neuf personnes avec déficiences physiques, âgées de 18 et 25 ans, ont participé au programme pendant neuf mois. Données recueillies : perceptions de leur qualité de participation sociale à partir d’entrevues semi-structurées en pré, mi-temps et post-intervention avec les participants et un de leurs parents. Le guide d’entrevue validé est ancré sur le Modèle du développement humain- Processus de production du handicap - 2 (HDM-PPH2). L’enregistrement audio des entretiens a été transcrit en verbatim. Le contenu a été analysé avec le logiciel Nvivo 9 à travers une grille de codage préalablement validée (co-codage, codage-inverse). Résultats : Corpus de 54 entrevues. L’âge moyen des jeunes était de 20,0 ± 1,4 années et de 51 ± 3,6 années pour les parents. Selon tous, la participation sociale des jeunes adultes a été optimisée, surtout sur le plan de la communication, des déplacements, des relations interpersonnelles, des responsabilités et de la vie communautaire. La perception de soi et les habiletés sociales, également améliorées, ont favorisé une plus grande auto-efficacité. Conclusion : Cette étude soutient donc le potentiel du cirque social comme approche novatrice et probante en réadaptation physique pour cette population, et appuie la pertinence d’autres études rigoureuses mesurant les diverses retombées possibles et identifiées. / Introduction: Youth with physical disabilities transitioning to adulthood have great difficulties achieving an optimal social participation. This study explores the impact of a social circus program as a new physical rehabilitation approach on the their perceived social participation level of these young adults based on their experience and on their parent’s perspective. Method: Exploratory phenomenological qualitative design. Nine youth with physical disabilities, aged 18 to 25 years were exposed to the program over nine months. Main outcomes: perception of their social participation level documented through pre, mid-term and post semi-structured interviews held with the young adults and one of their parents. Pre-tested interview guide anchored in the Human Development Model-Disability Creation Process-2 (HDM-DCP2) was used. Interview audio content was transcribed, verbatim analysed with Nvivo 9 software through a validated process (reverse-coding) and coding grid (co-coding). Results: Fifty-four interviews were analyzed. The average age of the youth was 20.0 ± 1.4 years; parents’ mean age was 51.0 ± 3.6 years old. According to all, the youths’ social participation was optimized. The impact has been stronger for the communication, mobility, interpersonal relationships, responsibility and community life categories. The social circus program was reported as strengthening their self-perception and social skills that led to a greater self-determination and self-efficacy. Conclusion: This study supports the potential of a social circus program as a new approach in adult physical rehabilitation for this transitioning population. Future research using mixedmethods design study and standardized outcome measures are needed to ensure greater credibility, sustainability, and knowledge transfer of this innovative approach in rehabilitation towards new populations.

The topic of this thesis is integration of the physically disabled into international exchange projects. By chosing this issue, I would like to point out the importance of integration of physically disadvantaged not only into educational facilities, where the integrated gain knowledge, but also into programs for free-time activities of children and youth and into programs where the informal and enterntaining ways are used. However, in the Czech Republic the integration of physically disadvantaged into schools is elaborated the best, I believe it needs to be attended to in other fields too. Another point I draw attention to in my thesis is the need for free time in a person's life. I specifically mean the free time dedicated to various activities either beneficial to one's health, bringing joy or as a way of relaxation. By the end of my theoretical part I describe the handicap in a persons's life. In the practical part I describe the EU program - Youth in Action, which enables young peope to travel into foreign countires for either short or long term period. This program also provides youth free-time exchanges with the possibilitiy of integrating physically challenged people. I describe what an international exchange involves. There are the demands on participants as well as organizers of the exchanges and...

This dissertation thesis focuses on the philosophical aspects of the relationship of Man toward the city. The main methods of the work are interpretation of texts connected with the city and a philosophically inspired analysis of the bond of Man with the city as a space and time constructed, inhabited and shared by humans, and with its experienced phenomena. First of all it presents the method by which the theme of the city has been dealt with by scholars from the field of philosophy and other social sciences. We find the theme of the city in the works of a whole range of philosophers: For example, it served J. A. Comenius as a symbol of human situation in life, Michel Foucault as a point of departure for his political-philosophical analysis of power, and Emmanuel Lévinas for his discourse on culpability, punishment and responsibility. In order to understand the phenomenon of the city, observations from sociologists, architects, town planners and historians of architecture are also important. Moreover, in their works it is possible to find overlaps into philosophical thought, for example Bernard Lepetit contributes to the theme of the temporality of the city with the concept of the "trace", whilst Jan Gehl, through his discourse on the perception of environment and the challenge of applying a human...

La presente investigación es de alcance correlacional, es decir tiene como propósito conocer la influencia de la variable independiente estilos de liderazgo en la variable dependiente desarrollo deportivo de los paradeportistas. El diseño no experimental de corte transversal es decir no se manipularán las variables de investigación, el recojo de información se dará en un solo momento. El paradeportista del cual se va a obtener su percepción sobre el estilo de liderazgo del comando técnico. Para cumplir con el objetivo y medir las variables de investigación se utilizó el método cuantitativo a través de la herramienta encuesta tipo Likert a 199 paradeportistas. El análisis de fiabilidad de nuestras variables, se obtuvo un 0,905 demostrando que el instrumento de medición es estadísticamente fiable y veraz ya que supera el 0,7. Distribución no es normal por lo tanto se ha obtenido el r de Pearson y la regresión lineal. Existe asociación entre las variables y la significancia aprueba las hipótesis alternas. Las conclusiones, en las hipótesis la relación es directa porque a mayor liderazgo del Comando Técnico habrá mayor desarrollo deportivo de los paradeportistas y en el baloncesto sobre silla de ruedas no existe asociación entre las variables y tampoco se puede generalizar, solo en este caso se aprueba la hipótesis nula. / This research is correlational in scope, that is, its purpose is to know the influence of the independent variable leadership styles on the dependent variable sports development of paraathletes. The non-experimental cross-sectional design means that the research variables will not be manipulated, the information will be collected in a single moment. The para-athletes whose perception of the leadership style of the technical command will be obtained. To meet the objective and measure the research variables, the quantitative method was adapted through the Likert-type survey tool to 199 paraathletes. The reliability analysis of our variables, a 0.905 was obtained, demonstrating that the measurement instrument is statistically reliable and truthful since it exceeds 0.7. Distribution is not normal; therefore, Pearson's r and linear regression have been obtained. There is an association between the variables and the significance approves the alternative hypotheses. The conclusions, in the hypotheses, the relationship is direct because the greater the leadership of the Technical Command there will be greater sports development of the para-athletes and in wheelchair basketball there is no association between the variables and it cannot be generalized either, only in this case it is approved the null hypothesis. / Tesis
