No. of bitstreams: 1 Aria da Penha de Oliveira.pdf: 1851281 bytes, checksum: c639b3441d5db2f0c65235f70091567b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-09-11 / The present dissertation defined, as a main goal, to analyse the influence of Social Welfare Policy in the life of vulnerable families. In order to guide this analisis and make it interact with reality, three specific objectives were chosen: - deepening the knowledge of the policy of protection earmarked to these families; - introduce the territory where this policy is implemented and its weaknesses, more specifically in the district of Cidade Ademar, in the Southern Area of São Paulo, - and assist a social worker in its professional job, from a critical reading of reality, and aiming at strenghening its compromisse with the ethical-political Project of Social Welfare, within a new Social Welfare Policy. This is inspiring a reflexion over the latter’s responsability with these families, whom are presenting many different degrees of vulnerability and do not make it through the circle of extreme poverty. We analysed very carefully these families’ profile and the specificities of this Southern Area of São Paulo, identifying situations of environmental degradation, excessively tough for being a residential area, situations of sociospacial segregation and of high vulnerability. We then reflected more on the intense process of expansion and of “peripherization” of the favelas and the absence of the Brasilian State. We used a qualitative method of search, appealing to technics of interview with four groups of relatives, in an attempt to grasp how they perceive this policy of protection, within the National Social Welfare Policy, their conception of family and the presence of a sociofamilial matrix. Facing this reality, we will find out that the Social Welfare Policy do not succeed in reaching the families in situation of extreme poverty whom do not take the initiative of looking for the existing public services of protection on their territory / A presente dissertação definiu, como objetivo geral, analisar a influência da Política da Assistência Social na vida de famílias vulnerabilizadas. Para direcionar esta análise e interagir com a realidade, foram propostos três objetivos específicos, a saber: - aprofundar o conhecimento das políticas de proteção direcionadas a essas famílias; - apresentar o território onde estão inseridas e suas vulnerabilidades, elegendo para tanto o distrito Cidade Ademar, na Zona Sul de São Paulo, - e subsidiar o assistente social em seu trabalho profissional, a partir de uma leitura crítica dos fenômenos da realidade, fortalecendo o compromisso com o projeto ético-político do Serviço Social, na ótica da nova Política da Assistência Social. Esta vem inspirando a reflexão sobre a responsabilidade com as famílias que, apresentando vários graus de vulnerabilidade, não conseguem sair do ciclo da pobreza extrema. . Analisamos atentamente o perfil de famílias e os aspectos que tipificam esse distrito da Zona Sul de São Paulo, identificando situações de degradação ambiental, sobremaneira acirrada por ser uma zona de manancial, de segregação socioespacial e de alta vulnerabilidade. Isto posto, queremos refletir a respeito do intenso processo de expansão e “periferização” das favelas e da ausência do Estado. Utilizamos a pesquisa qualitativa, recorrendo às técnicas de entrevista com quatro grupos familiares, tentando captar como veem essa política protetiva, à luz da Política Nacional da Assistência Social; a concepção de família e a presença da matricialidade sociofamiliar. Identificaremos, diante de tal realidade, que a Política da Assistência Social não consegue atingir as famílias em extrema pobreza que não tiveram a iniciativa de buscar os serviços de proteção existentes em seu território

Esta dissertação de mestrado tem por objetivo problematizar como práticas religiosas das Igrejas Evangélicas Neopentecostais emergem no cotidiano como modos de governo da população juvenil empobrecida. Para tanto, parto do conceito de governamentalidade, elaborado por Michel Foucault a partir de seu curso “Segurança, Território e População” ministrado no Collège de France em 1978, o qual se refere à atualização e apropriação enquanto uma racionalidade de Estado na modernidade de técnicas arcaicas desenvolvidas e empregadas pela Igreja ocidental cristã ao longo da Idade Média como estratégia de condução da vida individual e coletiva. Com isso, governo passa a ser entendido como aquele conjunto de práticas postas em circulação quando da relação entre sujeitos entre si e instituições, que tem por objetivo conduzir e orientar sem cessar, para fins mais ou menos definidos, desejados e previsíveis, o modo pelo qual pessoas e instituições conduzem e tem suas vidas conduzidas. No primeiro capítulo busco dar visibilidade a alguns momentos das relações e tensões exercidas entre a Igreja e o Estado que ao longo do percurso histórico brasileiro têm contribuído para a produção de uma racionalidade de cuidado, proteção e governo em torno da população infanto-juvenil empobrecida. Esses momentos emergem na escrita a partir do exercício de rastreá-los quando ainda designavam um jogo de forças dentro de um campo problemático que através de discursos e mecanismos políticos e científicos articularam a instauração de determinados modos de conceber política e culturalmente esta problemática. No segundo capítulo busco suscitar algumas problematizações sobre como as Igrejas Neopentecostais, através de seus mecanismos e equipamentos de evangelização e integração da juventude, têm articulado e exercido práticas de cuidado, proteção, controle e investimento de jovens que participam de suas instituições e programas. Para isso, parto de alguns episódios das histórias de vida de quatro jovens que possuem em suas trajetórias a experiência de terem frequentado essas igrejas e seus projetos ofertados à juventude, para interrogar e discutir de que maneira e em que medida o discurso proferido pelas Igrejas Neopentecotais tem sido posto em circulação e participado como um elemento que compõe o modo como estes jovens conduzem suas vidas. / This dissertation aims to discuss how religious practices of neo-Pentecostal Evangelical Churches emerge in daily life as modes of government of the impoverished youth. For this, I begin with the concept of governmentality elaborated by Michel Foucault from its course "Security, Territory and Population" taught at the College de France in 1978, which refers to updating and ownership while a state of rationality in modern techniques archaic developed and employed by the Western Christian Church throughout the Middle Ages as driving strategy of individual and collective life. Thus, government becomes understood as that set of practices put into circulation when the relationship between each subject with other and institutions that aims to lead and guide incessantly, for purposes more or less defined, desired and predictable, the way in which people and institutions conduct and have conducted their lives. In the first chapter I seek to give visibility to a few moments of relations and tensions exerted between the Church and the State along the Brazilian historical background have contributed to the production of a caring rationality, protection and government around the child population impoverished. These moments emerge in writing from the exercise of track them while still designated a power play in a problematic field in speeches and political and scientific mechanisms articulated the establishment of certain ways of thinking politically and culturally this problem. The second chapter seek to raise some problematizations about how neo-Pentecostal churches, through its mechanisms and equipment evangelization and youth integration, have articulated and exercised care practices, protection, control and investment of youth who participate in its institutions and programs. For this, delivery of some episodes of the life stories of four young men who have on their trajectories the experience of having attended these churches and their projects offered to the youth, to question and discuss how and to what extent the speech given by the churches Neo-pentecotals It has been issued and participated as an element that makes up the way these young people lead their lives.

Complexos de Subluxação vertebral são disfunções biomecânicas articulares que cursam com hipomobilidade, disfunção neural e de tecido conectivo. Avaliou-se a presença de complexos de subluxação vertebral (CS) em 492 equinos praticantes da atividade de salto, observados na rotina clínica de um examinador com 9 anos de experiência em quiropraxia veterinária. Os animais incluídos no estudo formam divididos por sexo e 4 grupos de idade. As idades variaram entre 4 e 19 anos (média de 9,9 anos), sendo 207 machos castrados, 249 fêmeas e 36 garanhões. O número médio de complexos de subluxação encontrado na coluna dos animais foi de 11,9 num total de 30 segmentos motores vertebrais avaliados. O número médio de complexos de subluxação da coluna cervical foi de 2,7; de 5,8 na coluna torácica, e de 2,6 na coluna lombar. Os segmentos motores acometidos com maior frequência foram L3, L2 e L1, nesta ordem. Não houve diferença significativa (p>0,05) nas médias do número de complexos de subluxação entre os sexos. Também não houve diferença significativa nas médias do número de complexos de subluxação entre grupos de idade para a coluna lombar e torácica, porém houve diferença significativa (p=0,028) no número médio de complexos de subluxação entre os grupos de idades de 0-5anos e acima de 15 anos na coluna cervical. Apresentaram complexo de subluxação no sacro 24,4% dos animais. A maioria dos animais não apresentou dor à palpação muscular, porém demonstraram aumento do tônus muscular. Pode-se concluir que a incidência de complexos de subluxação na coluna cervical aumenta com a idade. / Vertebral subluxation complexes are dysfunctional spinal segments characterized by hypomobility with altered neural and connective tissue function. Data collected from 492 showjumping horses evaluated by a veterinary chiropractor with 9 years of experience was analyzed for the presence of Vertebral Subluxation Complexes. The animals were divided into age groups and sex categories. Their age varied from 4 to 19 (mean=9.9) and there were 207 geldings, 249 females and 36 stallions included in the study. The animals had in average 11.9 vertebral subluxation complexes in 30 analyzed spinal segments along their spine. Per spinal segment, the animals presented in average 2.7 cervical, 5.8 thoracic and 2.6 lumbar subluxation complexes and 24,4% of the horses had subluxation complex in the sacrum. The most affected vertebrae were L3, L2 and L4, in this order. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the mean of subluxation complexes between sexes and between age groups for the lumbar and thoracic spine. There were significant difference (p=0.028) in the mean of subluxation complexes at the cervical spine between the age groups of 0-6 years and 15 years and above. Most of the animals had no pain to muscle palpation, but they showed an increase in muscle tone. It was concluded that the prevalence of subluxation complexes in the cervical spine increases with age.

Mellan 10-30 procent av ett företags omsättning beräknas bestå av kvalitetsbristkostnader, alltså kostnader som uppstår på grund av bristande kvalitet på företagets produkter eller processer. Dessa kostnader är ofta av sådant slag som inte synliggörs inom företag som inte aktivt arbetar med kvalitet. På EMBA Machinery AB i Örebro är idag detta inga kostnader som synliggjorts, men som det finns önskemål om att synliggöra och då främst i deras reklamationsprocess. Därav har de efterfrågat ett arbete där kvalitetsbristkostnader i samband med deras reklamationsprocess skall identifieras samt att ett arbetssätt för att reducera dessa kostnader skall arbetas fram. Till detta arbete har olika verktyg som vanligtvis används inom kvalitetsarbete och LEAN production tillämpats. Exempel på de verktyg som använts är enklare varianter av värdeflödesanalyser, Paretodiagram, feleffektsanalyser, Ishikawadiagram och 5 Varför-analyser. Arbetet resulterade i fem åtgärdsförslag för företaget. De fem förslagen är: införa en ny arbetsrutin för reklamationer där hanteringen skall utgå från en kvalitetssamordnare, införa en standardkostnad för fakturering av justeringar som utförs på företaget, anställa en kvalitetschef som följer upp företagets rutiner och arbetar aktivt med förbättringsarbete, digitalisera hanteringen av reklamationer och utbilda ledningen i förbättringsarbete och total quality management. Vid införandet av dessa åtgärder beräknas kvalitetsbristkostnaderna minska med minst 30 %, men förmodligen mycket mer än så. / Between 10-30 percent of a company's turnover is estimated to consist of costs due to poor quality, i.e. costs incurred due to lack of quality on the company's products or processes. These costs are often costs that are not visible in companies whom do not actively work with quality. At EMBA Machinery AB in Örebro these costs are not visible today, but there is a desire to visualize them mainly in their complaint process. Therefore they have requested a project to identify costs due to poor quality associated with their complaint process and to present a new method to work with that will reduce these costs. For this work, various tools that usually are used in quality work and LEAN production has been applied. Examples of the tools used are simple variants of value-flow analyses, Pareto Charts, Failure mode and effects analysis, Ishikawa Graphs, and 5 Why analyses. This project resulted in five action proposals for the company. These five proposals are: introduce a new workflow for the complaint process where the handling will be done by a quality coordinator, introduce a standard cost of billing adjustments performed at the company, hire a quality manager to follow up the company's routines and work actively with improvement work, digitize the handling of complaints and educate the management in improvement work and total quality management. When introducing these measures, cost due to poor quality are estimated to decrease by at least 30%, but probably much more than that.

The social conditions in the rural areas of South Africa are by now widely known and numerous researchers have documented the poverty stricken quality of life which generally prevails amongst black families in these areas (Wilson and Ramphele, 1989). The vast majority of rural households have incomes which are below subsistence levels and in the Homelands, agricultural productive ability has become so eroded that rural household income is now chiefly derived from remittances from migrants in the towns or from the wages of farm labourers (Nattrass and May, 1986). As such, at present the majority of black rural households living in Region E make up consumer communities which must purchase the majority of their subsistence needs, rather than producer communities in which subsistence needs can be met from the utilisation of local resources (Derman and Poultney, 1983). Despite this unpromising situation, the diminishing importance of agricultural production to the South African national economy (Bethlehem, 1989), and the dominance of urbanisation as a social force, it can be argued that the rural areas of Region E will be directly and substantially affected by efforts to restructure the South African economy as a whole. Consequently, revitalising the rural economy in a restructured social and economic system would be a concern in itself, even though the effect of this for a future growth path for South Africa may be uncertain (Kaplinsky, 1991:54). The report will first examine the broad demographic changes in Region E noting the impact of these changes on the rural areas. Thereafter, the economic processes which characterise the rural areas will be discussed, in particular, employment, income levels and income distribution. This will feed into a discussion of the social processes which will include changing dynamics of migration, and a socio-economic profile of rural households. The paper concludes by briefly examining access and usage of basic services and facilities in the rural parts of Region E.

nÃo hà / O presente estudo consiste na investigaÃÃo sobre a memÃria histÃrica educativa do Orfanato Jesus Maria JosÃ, localizado na Cidade de Juazeiro do Norte-CE, onde buscamos localizar as transformaÃÃes impostas pelo tempo, no que se refere Ãs prÃticas educativas, sua estrutura e funcionamento, situando-as de forma comparativa com as ideias socialmente circundantes de acolhimento à infÃncia pobre ou desvalida, em Ãmbito nacional e internacional, no perÃodo que decorre de 1916 a 2016. Uma InstituiÃÃo idealizada pelo Padre CÃcero RomÃo Batista, com o propÃsito de recolhimento e educaÃÃo para meninas ÃrfÃs pobres ou âdesvalidasâ. A instituiÃÃo de inÃcio foi coordenada pelas Beatas do Juazeiro no ano de 1916 a 1935, quando assumem as Filhas de Santa Teresa de Jesus permanecendo atà os dias atuais, completando (100) cem anos de existÃncia. Buscamos problematizar os cem anos da sua existÃncia, dando Ãnfase Ãs permanÃncias e rupturas, no seu processo histÃrico educacional durante esse perÃodo. Para tanto, elencamos as categorias: HistÃria de instituiÃÃes educacionais; HistÃria da mulher na aÃÃo educacional; HistÃria da infÃncia pobre ou âdesvalidaâ. A metodologia se deu atravÃs da pesquisa qualitativa, apoiada em estudos bibliogrÃficos, documental e na HistÃria Oral. Utilizou-se da entrevista nÃo estruturada, com agentes participantes do projeto incluindo os sujeitos da atualidade. AtravÃs dos estudos e das entrevistas realizadas, percebemos algumas rupturas e permanÃncias, tanto no processo estrutural como nas aÃÃes desenvolvidas pelos seus administradores. Das rupturas, destacamos trÃs momentos: a mudanÃa das Beatas em 1935 para as Filhas de Santa Teresa de Jesus; a instalaÃÃo de uma escola de ensino primÃrio em uma sala do Orfanato, tendo as religiosas que se adequar a uma nova metodologia educacional; quando a escola foi fechada, passando a instituiÃÃo de internato para externato, se constituindo em uma instituiÃÃo filantrÃpica de fins assistencialistas, atendendo ambos os sexos. Durante esse processo pode-se perceber mudanÃas, tambÃm no processo educacional, de acordo com as transformaÃÃes sociais. Percebemos que, ainda habita na instituiÃÃo aspectos da sua idealizaÃÃo, a instituiÃÃo continua incidindo sobre o processo educacional, com projetos voltados para a populaÃÃo carente, desde a sua idealizaÃÃo atà os dias atuais, o que caracterizamos como permanÃncias histÃricas, que resistiram por um sÃculo. / ABSTRACT The present study consists of the investigation of the educational historical memory of the Jesus Maria Jose Orphanage, located in the city of Juazeiro do Norte, CE, where we seek to locate the transformations imposed by time, in relation to educational practices, its structure and functioning, In a comparative way with the socially surrounding ideas of welcoming poor or helpless childhood, nationally and internationally, in the period from 1916 to 2016. An institution designed by Father CÃcero RomÃo Batista, with the purpose of gathering and educating Poor or "helpless" orphan girls. The initiating institution was coordinated by the Beatas of Juazeiro from 1916 to 1935, when they assumed the Daughters of St. Teresa of Jesus, remaining until the present day, completing (100) one hundred years of existence. We seek to problematize the hundred years of its existence, emphasizing the permanences and ruptures, in its historical educational process during this period. For this, we list the categories History of educational institutions, History of women in educational action, History of poor or "helpless" childhood. The methodology was based on qualitative research, supported by bibliographic, documentary and oral history studies. It was used the unstructured interview, with agents participating in the project including the subjects of the present time. Through the studies and the interviews carried out, we perceive some ruptures and permanences, both in the structural process and in the actions developed by its administrators. Of the ruptures, we emphasize three moments: The change of the Beatas in 1935 for the Daughters of Santa Teresa de Jesus; The installation of a Primary School in a room of the Orphanage, with the sisters having to adapt to a new educational methodology; When the school was closed, becoming the boarding school institution, becoming a philanthropic institution for welfare purposes, serving both sexes. During this process one can perceive changes, also in the educational process, according to the social transformations. We realize that the institution still has aspects of its idealization; the institution continues to focus on the educational process, with projects focused on the needy population, from its idealization to the present day, which we characterize as historical permanences that have resisted for a century.

The transition into Kindergarten is a critical time for children's development--children's patterns of academic development and engagement with school often start in Kindergarten and persist throughout their academic careers. This is a developmental period that is marked by many changes in children's lives, and therefore it is not a surprise that many children struggle during this transition. These struggles are more common for children who are living in poverty, and although there have been national initiatives to address opportunity gaps in access to early education, investigations into the effectiveness of these programs in promoting children's Kindergarten development have shown mixed results. It is therefore essential to identify the types of early education experiences that are effective in supporting children in having a smooth Kindergarten transition. This dissertation presents and evaluates six theoretical frameworks that can be used to understand the Kindergarten transition. The school readiness approach to the Kindergarten transition focuses on the ways in which children's Kindergarten-entry skills can lead to their own development during Kindergarten. The Pre-K launch model examines the role of high-quality Pre-K in boosting children's school readiness, and subsequently their development during Kindergarten. The classroom quality perspective describes the supportive qualities of Kindergarten classrooms that may aid in children's development across this transition. The continuity perspective shows that support for continuous high-quality instruction between Pre-K and Kindergarten systems may promote children's growth. The buffer/compensation model proposes that children with higher-quality Pre-K experiences are more resilient to the effects of lower-quality Kindergarten. Finally, the consistency model suggests that alignment of quality between Pre-K and Kindergarten may be beneficial for children regardless of whether that alignment represents high quality instructional practices. Each of these perspectives provides valuable insight into the Kindergarten transition; however, these theoretical perspectives have not been studied simultaneously to determine the extent to which all may play a role in children's development during the Kindergarten transition, particularly the development of children who are living in poverty. The current study used data from the National Center for Early Development and Learning's Multi-State Pre-kindergarten Study (NCEDL) to chart children's experiences in their Pre-K and Kindergarten classes to determine whether there are qualities of children's experiences before and throughout the Kindergarten transition that support their development during Kindergarten, and evaluated the extent to which these patterns support these major theoretical perspectives. The study found that children's Kindergarten-entry skills were the best predictors of their end-of-Kindergarten outcomes, showing support for the school readiness perspective. In the domain of instructional support, children's concurrent classroom experiences predicted their academic outcomes during a given year, showing support for the classroom quality framework. In the domain of emotional support, statistical effects of Kindergarten emotional support on children's outcomes were seen only under conditions in which Pre-K emotional support had also been high, showing conditional support for the continuity model. Consistency of children's emotional support, when controlling for quality, was negatively related to their social and emotional development, indicating that consistent emotional support alone is not beneficial without taking into account the quality of that emotional support. Associations between Pre-K quality and children's Kindergarten development were not translated through boosts in school readiness, indicating that while Pre-K experiences do matter for children's development during the Kindergarten transition, that relationship is not best described through a launch model. And finally, any benefits of higher quality emotional and instructional interactions during both Pre-K and Kindergarten were largely concentrated in the group of children who were not living in poverty, while higher Pre-K quality was at times related to lower Kindergarten outcomes for children who were living in poverty. Implications for future research and policy are discussed.

The present paper is a descriptive study of sex offender sentencing in three Oregon counties in 1992. It examines the relationship between sentencing practices and indigent offenders. It focuses specifically on the question of offender indigent status and court ordered sex offender treatment. The study also provides information about the number of sex offenders in each of the three counties, how the offenders' sentences were determined by the courts through the use of the sentencing guidelines matrix, what type of plea was used, and what if any influence indigence had in the sentencing outcomes for the felony sex off enders in this study. Viewed from a conflict theoretical perspective, it was expected that indigent sex offenders would experience differential treatment by the courts. Two-tailed chi-square tests were computed to determine if a difference exists between sentences given indigent and non-indigent offenders. The same tests were applied to determine if there exists a difference between indigent and non-indigent in regard to the addressing of treatment in the sentence order. The tests were considered significant at the . 05 level. A significant difference was found between probation sentences and prison sentences for indigent versus non indigent offenders. Frequency scores were examined for this study by the number of indigent sex offenders that were convicted in each sample county for 1992, guilt type, guilt type and sentence, sentencing guidelines matrix score, indigence and race, and treatment by county. There is minimal information on the topic of sex offenders and the possible relationship between indigence, sentence disposition and treatment. The information contained in this study will contribute to the body of knowledge in the area of sex offenders and the results of this study will provide information useful for further research.

Abstract title: Postural deviations and their compensations of blind cyclist Thesis objective: The objective of this thesis is to create a compensatory motional program for a visually impaired client. Compensatory motional program deals with the positive influence of defective body posture and pain alleviation of relevant muscular areas, particularly in the areas of cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. Method: The research method is qualitative examinations by usage of pretest and posttest designs. The thesis is conceived as the case report of a 31-year-old patient with acquired handicap. Exercise in fitness center was selected as part of compensatory motional program with the application of stretching, relaxing and work-out exercise. Additionally, hippotherapy was practiced to improve the stability of individual body areas, as well as to generally enhance the body posture. The testing methods for defective body postures by Jaroš and Lomíček, Matthiase; as well as testing method by Janda, were applied for the verification of program effect. The HHT motor test was applied for the verification of hippotherapy. Results: Compensatory motional program positively influenced the body posture of the clients already after three months of exercise. The integral part of hippotherapy was also the influence of...
