Infância, práticas educativas e de cuidado: concepções de educadoras de abrigo à luz da história de vida / Childhood, caring and educative practices: conceptions of shelters educators in the light of their life story

Fraga, Lorena Barbosa 29 July 2008 (has links)
O ECA prevê a proteção integral a todas as crianças e adolescentes sempre que seus direitos estiverem ameaçados, e está embasado numa concepção de infância em que a criança é considerada como sujeito de direitos, como pessoa em condição peculiar de desenvolvimento, e do interesse superior. Vários movimentos e ações vêm sendo vem sendo realizados para efetivá-lo em prática cotidiana, e uma vertente importante dessas ações diz respeito à qualificação dos recursos humanos dos diversos equipamentos de assistência à criança, entre os quais estão os educadores de Casas Abrigo. A literatura aponta para as diversas dificuldades que marcam o abrigo ainda como um espaço de ausências, da re-edição do abandono e da violência, e as iniciativas no sentido de torná-lo lugar de novas possibilidades para as crianças tornam necessários investimentos de toda ordem. Buscando uma melhor compreensão dessa realidade, esse trabalho voltou-se para as Educadoras de uma Casa Abrigo de uma cidade interiorana do Estado de São Paulo, com o objetivo de conhecer o que elas pensavam sobre infância, as crianças sob seus cuidados, e as práticas educativas destinadas a elas. Foram realizadas entrevistas com todas as educadoras da casa abrigo (10) na modalidade história de vida temática, que inclui dois momentos. Primeiramente, a participante fica livre para contar a sua história, a partir de aspectos que consideravam relevantes. Já num segundo momento, a pesquisadora coloca questões de interesse do trabalho e que porventura não tivessem sido abordadas na parte inicial da entrevista. As entrevistas, gravadas e transcritas literalmente, juntamente com o diário de campo, foram analisados a partir da perspectiva qualitativa. Os resultados apontaram para uma equipe de educadoras bastante diferenciadas (60% com nível superior em Assistência Social, Pedagogia, e Psicologia), com grande envolvimento no trabalho; sua história de vida sustenta uma visão de infância e de cuidado à ela bastante afinada à que embasa o ECA, focada na condição de desenvolvimento da criança. Por outro lado, a criança abrigada parece ser vista fora dessa óptica. Além disso, as educadoras sentem que no dia-a-dia da instituição não tem espaço para a autonomia, criatividade, espontaneidade, estímulo e o brincar, sentindo-se restritas aos cuidados básicos de alimentação e higiene. Assim, embora tenham uma percepção da infância bastante afinada à do ECA, não conseguem colocá-la em prática no interior do abrigo. Esbarram numa estrutura rígida e autoritária haja vista suas exigências, estruturação de rotina, horários e prioridades. Identificaram-se ainda descontinuidades (conflitos entre diferentes crenças) vivenciadas no contexto de trabalho, tanto entre o ideário delas próprias em relação à criança e sua educação e a prática atual, como entre o seu ideário e o do abrigo, muito semelhante ao modelo assistencial, correcional já ultrapassado, mas que tem raízes em um longo período na história da institucionalização de crianças. Assim, estamos diante de uma equipe que, embora com grande potencial, parece subutilizado, pois percebemos que tais educadoras sentem ter uma prática cotidiana muito diferente daquela que teriam condições de oferecer para a criança e em consonância à pretendida pelo ECA. / The ECA establishes the integral protection for all children and adolescents whenever their rights are threatened, and it is based on a conception of childhood in which the child is considered as subject of rights, as a person in peculiar condition of development, and of high interest. Several movements and actions have been taken in order to turn it into daily practice, and an important strand of these actions refers to the qualification of the human resources of the various equipments of child assistance, among which are the educators of Shelter Houses. The literature points out various difficulties that still mark the shelter as a space of absences, of re-edition of abandonment and of violence, and the initiatives aiming to turn it into a place of new possibilities for the children raise the necessity of investments of all sorts. Searching for a better comprehension of this reality, this study focused on the Educators of a Shelter House in a countryside town of São Paulo State, with the target of knowing what they thought about childhood, the children they took care of, and the educative practices aimed at them. Interviews with all the educators of the shelter house (10) were made in the modality of thematic life story, which includes two moments, firstly the participant is free to tell her story, from aspects considered relevant. In a second moment, the researcher asks questions of interest of the work and that had not been approached in the initial part of the interview. The interviews, recorded and literally transcribed, along with the field journal, were analyzed according to the qualitative perspective. The results pointed at a team of educators quite qualified (60% graduated in Social Assistance, Pedagogy or Psychology), with great involvement in the work; their life story sustain a view of childhood and of caring aimed at them very similar to the one that roots ECA, focused on the development condition of children. On the other hand, they feel that in the institutions daily routine there is no space for autonomy, creativity, spontaneity, stimulus and playing, feeling restricted to basic cares of feeding and hygiene. Therefore, although they have a perception of childhood very similar to that of ECA, they cannot put it into practice inside the shelter. They are blocked by a rigid and authoritarian structure, seen its demands, routine structuring, timetables and priorities. Discontinuities were also identified (conflicts between different beliefs), lived in the work context, both between their own ideology concerning children and their education and current practice, and between their ideology and the shelters ideology, very alike the assisting model, correctional already old-fashioned, but rooted in a long period of the history of children institutionalization. Therefore, we face a team that, even though highly qualified, seems not to be used in its potential, for we notice that such educators feel that they have a daily practice very different from the one they would be able to offer to the child and allied to the one intended by the ECA.

Shamyana, the out door pleasure

Zahid, Umber January 2010 (has links)
The present work is a continuation of the ideas developed in previous projects during my Masters studies that explored the relation between pattern, form and space. Starting from the pattern multiplication for space construction the present project proposes textiles as an assortment of flexible expressions. The purpose of the project is to explore aesthetic and functional potential of textiles for out door temporary structures. This is to create a pattern interface which filters sunlight through a textile surface to offer instant sheltering solutions for out door activities. The project combines research and analyses of outdoor temporary structures and scope of textile in the area. The research is interpreted into a concept of a portable space for relaxation. The design process shapes this concept of relaxation into a sun shelter.

A metodologia foi de natureza qualitativa. Os dados primários foram inicialmente coletados mediante a aplicação de um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturado que contemplou perguntas fechadas e abertas, denominado Inquérito Situacional com o profissional de psicologia do abrigo, no qual foram colhidas informações sobre a criança, a sua família, os motivos que geraram o encaminhamento para o abrigo e ações da instituição no acompanhamento das crianças em estudo. Em um segundo momento, foi realizada individualmente uma entrevista lúdica semi-estruturada com as crianças participantes, em que foram abordados os seguintes itens: o contexto familiar, a sua acolhida e permanência no abrigo e as suas perspectivas em relação à situação em que a criança se encontra. Essa entrevista teve o formato de um livreto de atividades, intitulado “Ei, estamos aqui!”. Para a obtenção dos dados complementares foram utilizados os prontuários e pastas de encaminhamento e a observação participante. Fazendo um paralelo à condição dessas crianças abrigadas foi feita uma conexão dessa realidade com a perspectiva teórica do modelo bioecológico do desenvolvimento humano de Urie Bronfenbrenner. Os resultados aqui alcançados, por refletirem a realidade advinda das crianças, possibilitará o avanço nas discussões, pesquisas e estratégias de enfrentamento para uma melhor adequação dos serviços de acolhimento institucional. / This research had as general objective: understand perceptions of children served in shelters have in relation to their family background and their stay in the institution and specific objectives: to identify the precipitating reasons that led to the condition of the shelter and psychosocial profile of children in study; characterize the relationship of the family members with the child and with the institution during the period of institutional care; and analyze the perception of children about the shelter and its family of origin. The methodology was qualitative in nature. The primary data were initially collected by applying a semi-structured interview guide that included open and closed questions, called Situational Survey with professional psychology shelter, in which information was collected about the child, his family, and the reasons that generated the referral to the shelter and actions of the institution in the monitoring of children studied. In a second step, was performed a semi-structured individual interviews with the participants playful children, in which the following items were addressed: family background, your welcome and stay at the shelter and their perspectives on the situation in which the child is. This interview took the form of a booklet of activities entitled "Hey, we're here." To obtain additional data records and the routing folders and participant observation were used. Paralleling the condition of these sheltered children was made a connection that reality with the theoretical perspective of the bioecological model of human development of Urie Bronfenbrenner. The results achieved here, because they reflect the reality arising of children, allow the advancement in discussions, research and coping strategies to better target the residential care services.

No. of bitstreams: 1 firmino_fh_me_arafcl.pdf: 1097400 bytes, checksum: 56b56c91f7855cce16cb3bec06c47105 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-02-21 / O acolhimento institucional é uma das medidas de proteção previstas no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, descrita como uma medida provisória e excepcional, aplicável quando os direitos reconhecidos pelo Estatuto são violados por negligência ou abuso dos pais ou responsáveis. Nestes casos, a criança ou adolescente podem ser encaminhados para uma instituição que oferece o acolhimento, que aqui denominaremos de abrigo. Nessas instituições, a criança ou adolescente ficam sob os cuidados de profissionais, aqui chamados de educadores, que mantêm contato direto e contínuo com as crianças e adolescentes abrigados. Nesse contato é inevitável o encontro entre os educadores e a sexualidade das crianças e adolescentes, que é inerente a esses sujeitos. Nesse encontro, às manifestações sexuais dos abrigados podem ser atribuídas diferentes significações pelos educadores, a depender da sua própria educação sexual e de suas representações inconscientes sobre a sexualidade, que serão transmitidas às crianças e adolescentes. Tendo isso em vista, essa pesquisa tem o objetivo de investigar o lugar que o educador ocupa em relação à sexualidade e à educação sexual de crianças e adolescentes abrigados. O projeto de pesquisa foi enviado para um Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa e foi por ele aprovado. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, com questões abertas e projetivas, as quais foram audiogravadas. O material foi analisado por duas técnicas psicanalíticas de interpretação de dados: a leitura dirigida pela escuta e a transferência instrumentalizada. A partir dessas técnicas, foi redigido um ensaio individual para cada entrevista e uma síntese que buscou articular os dados das quatro entrevistas. Os resultados apontam que os educadores ocupam um lugar em relação à sexualidade das crianças e adolescentes que é multifacetado, no qual há, por um lado, a reprodução de preconceitos, mas em que é possível reconhecer também potencialidades para um acolhimento mais efetivo. / Institutional sheltering is one of the protection measures provided in the Child and Adolescent Statute, described as an interim and exceptional measure, applicable when the rights recognized by the Statute are violated by negligence or abuse of parents or guardians. In these cases, the child or adolescent can be referred to an institution that offers the host, which we will call shelter in this research. In these institutions, the child or adolescent is under the care of professionals, here called educators, who maintain direct and continuous contact with sheltered children and adolescents. In this contact is inevitable the meeting between educators and the sexuality of children and adolescents, which is inherent to these subjects. In this encounter, to the sexual manifestations of the sheltered children and adolescents can be attributed different meanings by educators, depending on their own sexual education and their unconscious representations on sexuality, which will be transmitted to children and adolescents. In this respect, the aim of this research is to investigate the place that the educator has occupied in relation to sexuality and the sexual education of sheltered children and adolescents. The research project was sent to a Research Ethics Committee and approved by it. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, with open and projective questions, which were audiographed. The material was analyzed by two psychoanalytical techniques of data interpretation: reading directed by listening and instrumentalized transference. From these techniques, an individual essay was written for each interview and a synthesis that sought to articulate the data of the four interviews. The results point out that educators have a place in relation to the sexuality of children and adolescents that is multifaceted, in which there is, on the one hand, the reproduction of prejudices, but in which it is also possible to recognize potentialities for a more effective sheltering.

Protecting the vulnerable: Tornado sheltering and communication of public shelters with a case study from the COVID-19 pandemic

Croskery, Craig Douglas 12 May 2023 (has links) (PDF)
One of the greatest natural hazards that is faced with in much of the United States are tornadoes. Despite improvements in the warning processes, the risk of significant loss of life remains high. That is particularly true with vulnerable communities which have higher proportions of mobile homes; however, violent tornadoes are very difficult to manage in permanent homes or buildings as well. As a result, tornado shelters have been built in some communities and have become available to the public. However, their presence is intermittent, and there are many tornado-prone areas that lack such shelters. After a public survey, it was found that there was unmet demand for tornado shelters and, at least in the most extreme circumstances, a large percentage of the population would be willing to utilize such. It was also found that better communication of tornado shelters would increase utilization rates either in circumstances where they already exist or where the need exists. Some residents, particularly those in mobile homes, were likely to utilize shelters more frequently, which increased their need to an even greater extent. Once both the public and broadcast meteorologists were surveyed, it was found that the public was strongly supportive of mobile applications about tornado shelters in their area, and local television sources and the websites and applications related to those stations were also popular sources. Broadcast meteorologists in the Deep South in particular mentioned the need for more shelters and advocated construction, but not as much in other regions. They mentioned that mobile apps would be quite useful for the public to locate shelters. A case study in the context of the concurrent COVID-19 pandemic (knowing that crowded spaces was not a desirable situation amidst the pandemic) found that shelters were still potentially useful with mitigation. Those concurrent hazards made for a more challenging study and proved to be a valuable case study in tornado sheltering. The results found that it was possible to attenuate both threats provided that careful planning and actions were undertaken. As a result, both short-term and long-term recommendations were suggested which may also be useful in future pandemic situations.

Beräkningsmodell för vinddistribuerad snöackumulation i Överumans avrinningsområde / Calculation Model for Wind Distributed Snow Accumulation in Överuman's Catchment Area

Paraschaki, Leona, Eriksson, Linda January 2019 (has links)
En stor del av Sveriges energiproduktion kommer från vattenkraftverken. Dessa kraftverk använder sig av vattenmagasin för att hålla kvar vattenmassa och dammar för att reglera det vattenflöde som ger upphov till energiproduktionen. Efter vinterperioderna uppstår vårfloder, tillfälligt stora mängder vatten från snösmältningen, som kraftigt påverkar vattenmängden i kraftverkens vattenmagasin. Därför behöver regleringar av vattenmängden göras för att kunna ta emot den nya mängd vatten som tros tillkomma under vårfloden. Att göra korrekta prognoser för den rätta regleringen är idag svårt då de tillhörande avrinningsområdena är  tusentals kvadratkilometer stora och endast ett fåtal mätstationer finns tillgängliga. Syftet med detta projekt är att utveckla en metod för att bestämma fördelningen av snömängden i ojämn terräng, med vindriktningen som den största faktorn, för att kunna förutse avrinningens förändring under smältsäsongen.  De huvudsakliga arbetsverktyg som har använts är ArcGIS, Matlab, Excel och geostatiska metoder i kombination. Projektet är kopplat till ett nytt forskningsprojekt (SNODDAS, 2018) finansierat av Energimyndigheten som syftar till att ta fram bättre prognosmodeller för snökapaciteteten i avrinningsområden till vattenkraftsdammar. Det är ett samarbete mellan Uppsala universitet, SMHI och Vattenregleringsföretagen. Var snön kommer att hamna beror på terrängen och den dominerande vindriktningen. Därför kommer denna modell att definiera den del av terrängen som ligger upp-vind mot den dominerande vindriktningen som Sx. Modellens syfte är att beräkna snödistributionen och dess ackumulering i ett områdes höjddata med hjälp av 8 framtagna filer med olika Sx-värden för olika vindriktningar, också kallat Sheltering Index, med vindriktningar från 0º-360º med steg om 45º och sammanställda mätdata för vinterperioden 2017/2018 (19 oktober till 14 april). Det slutliga resultatet blev 61%, 63% och 90% jämfört med beräknad snövattenekvivalent av SeNorge (Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, 2019). / A large part of Sweden's energy production comes from hydroelectric power plants. These power plants use water reservoirs to retain water mass and dams to regulate the water flow that generates energy production. After the winter periods the large spring rivers, water from the snow melt, greatly affect the amount of water in the power plants' water reservoirs which makes it necessary to make regulations in order to be able to receive the amount of water that is believed to be added during the spring flows. Making accurate forecasts for the right regulations is difficult today as the associated river basins are several thousand square kilometers large and only a few measuring stations are available. This project aims to develop a method for determining the distribution of snow in uneven terrain, with the wind direction being the largest factor, in order to be able to foresee the change of runoff during the melting season. Main work tools are ArcGIS, Matlab, Excel and geostatic methods in combination. The project is linked to a new research project (SNODDAS, 2018) funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, which aims to develop better forecast models for the snow capacity in river basins to hydroelectric power dams. It is a collaboration between Uppsala University, SMHI and water regulation companies. Where the snow will end up depends on the terrain and the dominant wind direction. Therefore, this model will define the part of the terrain that lies up against the dominant wind direction as Sx. The purpose of the model is to calculate the snow distribution and its accumulation in the height data of an area with the aid of 8 files produced with different Sx values for different wind directions, also called the Sheltering Index, with wind directions from 0º-360º with steps of 45º and aggregated measurement data for the winter period 2017/2018 (19 October to 14 April). The results after calculations were 61%, 63% and 90% compared to the snow water equivalent from SeNorge (Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, 2019).

Frame Alignment Strategies In The Right To Sheltering Movement: The Case Of Dikmen Valley, Ankara

Aykan, Begum 01 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
FRAME ALIGNMENT STRATEGIES IN THE RIGHT TO SHELTERING MOVEMENT: THE CASE OF DIKMEN VALLEY, ANKARA Aykan, Beg&uuml / m M.S., Department of Sociology Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Helga Rittersberger Tili&ccedil / July 2011, 146 pages By the increasing hegemony of neoliberalism following the 1980s, urban transformation projects are becoming increasingly widespread. The present market oriented and rent seeking formulations of the urban transformation projects, leave the gecekondu dwellers who live in the areas to be transformed, outside the redistribution process of the produced rent and lead to the eviction of lower-income gecekondu population from the city to the periphery. Dislocations of this sort as they impose additional burdens to the already disadvantageous populations enhance the urban unevenness. Nevertheless there is an expanding gecekondu resistance against those projects. And Dikmen Valley Right to Sheltering Movement (DVRtSM) is a successful social movement that has been emerged by the organization of this gecekondu resistance which has developed against the implementation of the 4th and 5th Phases of Dikmen Valley Urban Transformation Project. DVRtSM has a strong influence over similar cases of grievances sourced by the neoliberal urbanization: as to this it can be regarded as a model of Right to Sheltering Movements. v The thesis aims to make an analysis of the strategic framing processes of the organization of the DVRtSM, by exploration of the frame alignment strategies which are regarded as decisive factors of movement
