Association between food assistance program participation and overweight / Associação entre participação em programa de assistência alimentar e sobrepeso

Chaparro, M Pia, Bernabe-Ortiz, Antonio, Harrison, Gail G. 09 February 2015 (has links)
OBJETIVO Investigar associação entre participação no programa de assistência alimentar e sobrepeso/obesidade, segundo nível de pobreza. MÉTODOS Estudo transversal com dados sobre 46.217 mulheres não gestantes e não lactantes, de Lima, Peru, obtidos de pesquisas, com representatividade nacional, nos anos de 2003, 2004, 2006 e 2008-2010. A variável dependente foi o sobrepeso/obesidade e a independente foi a participação no programa de assistência alimentar. Utilizou-se regressão de Poisson; os modelos foram estratificados por nível socioeconômico familiar para todo o país, por área de residência (Lima versus o resto do país; urbano versus residência rural) e anos de estudo (2003-2006 versus 2008-2010). Os modelos foram ajustados por idade, nível acadêmico, urbanização e ano de estudo. RESULTADOS Participar do programa de assistência alimentar associou-se com risco aumentado de sobrepeso/obesidade para as mulheres que viviam em domicílios sem indicadores de pobreza (PR = 1,29; IC95% 1,06;1,57). Quando estratificados por área de residência, foram observadas associações similares para as mulheres que vivem em Lima e em áreas urbanas; não foram encontradas associações entre a participação no programa de assistência alimentar e sobrepeso/obesidade entre as mulheres que vivem fora de Lima ou em áreas rurais, independentemente de sua condição de pobreza. CONCLUSÕES Participar do programa de assistência alimentar associou-se com sobrepeso/obesidade para mulheres não pobres. Estudos adicionais serão necessários em países que enfrentam ambas as faces da má nutrição. / pia.chaparro@chess.su.se / OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the association between food assistance program participation and overweight/obesity according to poverty level. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of data from 46,217 non-pregnant and non-lactating women in Lima, Peru was conducted; these data were obtained from nationally representative surveys from the years 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2008-2010. The dependent variable was overweight/obesity, and the independent variable was food assistance program participation. Poisson regression was used to stratify the data by family socioeconomic level, area of residence (Lima versus the rest of the country; urban versus rural), and survey year (2003-2006 versus 2008-2010). The models were adjusted for age, education level, urbanization, and survey year. RESULTS Food assistance program participation was associated with an increased risk of overweight/obesity in women living in homes without poverty indicators [prevalence ratio (PR) = 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06;1.57]. When stratified by area of residence, similar associations were observed for women living in Lima and urban areas; no associations were found between food assistance program participation and overweight/obesity among women living outside of Lima or in rural areas, regardless of the poverty status. CONCLUSIONS Food assistance program participation was associated with overweight/obesity in non-poor women. Additional studies are required in countries facing both aspects of malnutrition. / Revisión por pares

Visagens e paisagens dos aprisionamentos no contemporâneo

Jaeger, Regina Longaray January 2015 (has links)
Na nossa vida, determinados gestos e palavras passam a ser estranhos e passíveis de serem destacados, julgados, diagnosticados. Examinamos o percurso expansionista dos aprisionamentos da vida, seus elementos constitutivos no social. Retiramos do cotidiano e da vivência profissional em duas instituições de contenção estatais, práticas recorrentes que constroem visagens dos desvios dos ditos loucos e dos ditos delinquentes. Entendemos que as instituições tendem a cumprir suas funções presas a determinados estereótipos, padrões e reafirmam e corroboram significâncias e subjetivações encerradas em visagens que exacerbam evidências, punições, vinganças e controles. Vivemos numa sociedade de controle, cujos interstícios são operados por instituições disciplinares postas a normalizar a vida através de medidas voltadas à aquisição de disciplinas, para fixar em aparelhos de produção, através de punições e recompensas. Constitui um plano de pensamento definido por normas que ligam entre si os indivíduos pertencentes ao aparelho de produção. Aos que não conseguem se enquadrar nestes aparelhos, resta a prisão, o hospital ou a solidão. / In our life, certain gestures and words become awkward and likely to be distinguished, judged, diagnosed. We examine the expansionary path of life imprisonment, its constituent elements in the social body. We remove from daily and professional experience in two institutions of state contention, recurring practices that form grimaces of digression of those considered insane and offenders. We understand that institutions tend to fulfill their duties attached to certain stereotypes, patterns and reaffirm and support significance and subjectivities restrained to grimaces that exacerbate evidence, punishment, revenge and controls. We live in a society of control, whose interstices are operated by disciplinary institutions set to normalize life through measures focused on acquisition of disciplines to concentrate on production apparatus through punishments and rewards. It constitutes a thought plan defined by rules that interconnects the individuals belonging to the production apparatus. Those who fail to fit these apparatus, are left with prison, hospital or loneliness.

Educação especial no Brasil : contradições nas políticas de inclusão (2003-2014)

Borowsky, Fabíola January 2017 (has links)
Essa pesquisa objetivou analisar a trajetória das políticas públicas de Educação Especial, no Brasil, no período 2003-2014, verificando as contradições, limites e avanços, assim como as concepções de inclusão dos sujeitos que interagem na formulação dessas políticas. A abordagem de pesquisa adotada foi análise documental, na perspectiva do materialismo histórico dialético, de publicações feitas pelos sujeitos coletivos envolvidos na passagem das políticas de Educação Especial para o campo das políticas de inclusão. Verificamos que, no movimento em que as políticas de Educação Especial passam para o campo das políticas de inclusão, estavam envolvidos sujeitos coletivos (movimentos sociais protagonizados pelas pessoas com deficiência, organismos internacionais, governo federal e instituições privado-assistenciais) com diferentes concepções de inclusão. Nessa trajetória, evidenciaram-se três principais contradições, que compõem a atual política de Educação Especial Inclusiva: a ampliação do direito com a precarização do direito, ou seja, as pessoas com deficiência passaram a ter acesso à escola regular pública, mas com menos tempo de atendimento especializado e sem a modificação estrutural e pedagógica da escola para acolhê-las; ampliação das vagas às pessoas com deficiência em escolas públicas e, ao mesmo tempo, a ampliação do financiamento público a instituições privadas, através de convênios de prestação de serviço de atendimento educacional especializado ou da compra de vagas em escolas especiais exclusivas; a política garante a acessibilidade física e tecnológica através das salas de recursos multifuncionais, no entanto, não promove a garantia de currículo adaptado, capacitação de profissionais, nem a redução de alunos por turma do ensino regular com inclusão. A concepção de inclusão presente nas políticas públicas de Educação Especial é pouco profunda (não considera a gênese da exclusão), atrelada a matrícula, ao ingresso no ensino regular e à preocupação com a inserção no mercado de trabalho e no mercado consumidor. Essa concepção deriva da ideologia conservadora de que a maior participação na lógica da produção da sociedade capitalista permite o fim da exclusão ou da desigualdade. Evidenciamos em nossas análises que a desigualdade é inerente à sociedade capitalista, ou seja, o capitalismo a produz e precisa dela para se reproduzir. Assim, ampliar a participação nesta lógica contribui para a manutenção da ordem e não rompe com a produção das desigualdades. Da mesma forma, a inclusão escolar mantém a produção e reprodução da exclusão na educação e não rompe com a desigualdade presente historicamente na área. / This study was aimed to analyze the trajectory of Special Education public policies in Brazil, from 2003-2014, verifying their contradiction, limitations and advances as well as the conceptions of inclusion of subjects that interact in the elaboration of these policies. The research approach was qualitative, performed through documentary analysis, in the perspective of dialectical historical materialism, of publications written by the collective subjects involved in the passage of Special Education policies to the field of inclusive policies. We verified that, in the movement in which Special Education policies transfer to the field of inclusive policies, collective subjects were involved (social movements protagonized by peoples with disabilities, international organisms, federal government and private-care institutions) with different concepts of inclusion. In this trajectory, it was evidenced three main contradictions that compose the current Inclusive Special Education policy: the magnification of the right with the precariousness of this right, which means that subjects with disabilities were granted access to the regular public school, but with less time of specialized care and without structural and pedagogical modifications on the school that received them; expansion of vacancies for people with disabilities in public schools and, at the same time, an increase in the public funding to private institutions through service provision agreements of specialized educational services or the purchase of vacancies in exclusive special schools; the policy allows physical and technological accessibility by means of multi-functional resources; nevertheless, it does not promote any guarantee of an adapted curriculum, training of professionals, or the reduction in the number of students by class in the inclusive regular education. The conception of inclusion present in the public policies of Special Education is shallow (it does not consider the genesis of exclusion), and is linked to the registration and admission in the regular education, and to the concern with the insertion on the labor market and consumer market. This conception comes from the conservative ideology that greater participation in the logic of production of the capitalist society allows the end of exclusion and inequality. Our analyses evidenced that the inequality is inherent in capitalist society, that is, capitalism produces it and needs it to reproduce. Therefore, expanding the participation in this logic contributes to the maintenance of order and it does not break with the production of inequalities. In the same way, scholar inclusion maintains the production and reproduction of exclusion in the education and does not break with the inequality historically observed in the field.

The Emotional Impact of Anti-Immigration Policies on Latino Youth and Latino Immigrant Parents’ Efforts to Protect Their Youth

January 2015 (has links)
abstract: The Arizona legislature has enacted a number of anti-immigrant policies which negatively impact Latino immigrant families. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of Latino parents on how anti-immigration policies emotionally impact their children and how they believe they can protect their children from the harmful effects of such policies. Secondary data analysis was conducted based on in-depth semi structured interviews completed with a sample of 54 Latino immigrant parents residing in the state of Arizona. Grounded theory methods informed the analysis process. A constant comparative approach was used to complete initial and focused coding. Findings indicate that Latino immigrant parents observed a range of behavioral changes in their children following the passage of anti-immigrant legislature. Parents reported that the emotional impact they observed stemmed from children's social interactions in their home, school, and community environments as well as through their exposure to the media. Latino youth experienced emotional impact is summarized in the following themes, concern and sense of responsibility; fear and hypervigilance; sadness and crying; and depression. Findings further demonstrated that parents protected Latino youth from anti-immigration policies directly and indirect ways by focusing on children's safety and well-being (let children live their childhood, be prepared, send messages), building parents capacity (pursue education, obtain papers), and engaging in change efforts at the community level (be proactive). Parents indicated that by engaging in these efforts they could protect their children, and counter the negative effects of anti-immigrant policies. Implications for social work practice to better advocate and serve Latino youth at the individual, family, and community level are discussed. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Social Work 2015

Orientador: Alberto Albuquerque Gomes / Banca: Tereza Jesus Ferreira Scheide / Banca: Maria de Fátima Salum Moreira / Resumo: Relacionado à linha de pesquisa "Políticas Públicas, Organização Escolar e Formação de Professores", o presente trabalho aborda as "Políticas para formação de professores: reflexões sobre o estágio supervisionado - do legal ao real". Tendo como ponto de partida a reflexão do estágio curricular supervisionado no Curso de Pedagogia, inserido em seu contexto histórico, político, econômico e social, este trabalho pretende compreender as relações que se estabelecem entre as políticas públicas de formação de professores e o estágio supervisionado enquanto uma atividade que prevê a associação entre teoria e prática e que possibilitaria a emancipação do futuro educador. O objetivo é refletirmos sobre o estágio supervisionado para além de seus aspectos positivos e negativos, mas sim, com base na abordagem histórica dialética, discutir os fundamentos do estágio, questionando a visão estática da realidade. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram: a análise documental da legislação federal a partir da LDB de 1996 e diplomas afins; levantamento dos trabalhos científicos (teses, dissertações, livros, artigos, relatórios) sobre o tema do estágio na formação de professores...

Taking as its starting point the discussion of the supervised curricular training in Pedagogy Course, inserted in their historical, political, economic, and social context, this work aims to understand the relationships that are established between the public policies for the training of teachers and the supervised training while an activity that provides for the association between theory and practice and that would allow the emancipation of the future educator. The goal is to reflect on the supervised training in addition to their positive and negative aspects, but rather, based on historical dialectical approach, discuss the foundations of the internship, and questioning the static view of reality. The methodological procedures adopted for the development of the research were: The documentary analysis of federal legislation since the LDB/1996 and other rules, survey of scientific papers (theses, dissertations, books, articles, reports) on the theme of the stage in the training of teachers of the elementary...
