Esta tese estuda o processo da implantação do Programa de Turismo Solidário pelo governo de Minas Gerais no Vale do Jequitinhonha - MG, bem como as características e os significados que o mesmo adquiriu, tanto junto aos moradores das localidades alvo quanto junto aos chamados turistas solidários, e avalia o estado da arte de modos de turismo semelhantes ao que ocorre no Vale, com ênfase em alguns casos nas favelas cariocas. A tese focaliza a apropriação pela população das diretrizes e dos aspectos teórico-metodológicos da proposta desse Programa; a percepção dos moradores em relação ao turismo que ali ocorre; o enquadramento em que os encontros no turismo solidário ocorrem; os significados do turismo solidário; os indicadores do turismo solidário. Traz, de um lado, uma visão abrangente, discutindo questões relacionadas às políticas públicas no campo do turismo, e de outro lado, uma abordagem de caráter etnográfico, relativa ao encontro intersubjetivo entre ―turistas solidários‖ e a população local. A construção da linha argumentativa da tese fundamenta-se nos seguintes pressupostos: as propostas de descentralização por meio da ideia de governança apresentadas pelas políticas públicas que sustentam a ideologia do Programa de Turismo Solidário são ferramentas importantes para o desenvolvimento local; o encontro entre pessoas com diferentes formas de vida, com reconhecimento recíproco entre si, suscita em ambas as partes um alargamento da percepção de mundo e uma possibilidade para redescrição dos sujeitos; o enquadramento em que a interação ocorre e o nível de intimidade entre os participantes influenciam na possibilidade do individuo repensar valores e atitudes. O documentário ―Retrato Brasil‖ filmado durante as pesquisas de campo, foi elaborado na perspectiva de auxiliar na promoção do que é chamado de turismo solidário, entre outras possibilidades. / This thesis studies the process of implementation of a Program of the state government of Minas Gerais called Turismo Solidário in the Jequitinhonha Valley- MG, as well as the characteristics and meanings that this program has acquired to the people who live in this region and to the so called solidary tourists. This thesis also evaluates the state of the art in similar ways of turism to the one that occurs in the Valley, such as the turism in Favelas in Rio de Janeiro. The thesis focuses on the appropriation by the local population of the guidelines and the theoretical and methodological aspects of this proposed program, the perceptions of the inhabitants towards tourism that takes place there, the framework in which the meetings occur in Turismo Solidário, the meanings of solidarity tourism, and the indicators of this kind of turism. The thesis bring on a comprehensive discussion of public policies in tourism and makes an ethnographic approach, on the meeting between solidary tourists and the local population. The construction of the line of argument of this thesis is based on the following assumptions: the decentralization proposals through the idea of governance provided by public policies that support the ideology of Turismo Solidário program are important tools for local development; meeting between people with different forms of life, with mutual recognition between them, raises on both sides of a widening perception of the world and a chance for redescription of the subjects, the framework in which the interaction occurs and the degree of intimacy between the participants influence the ability of the individual to reconsider values and attitudes. The documentary "Retrato Brasil" filmed during the research was prepared to help spread this this way of making tourism.

Este estudo tem como objetivo, investigar, compreender, evidenciar e analisar aspectos da Performance como meio de diálogo entre o social e o cotidiano urbano. Com vistas a um panorama de uma sociedade de relações diluídas, esta investigação confronta tal realidade através de ações que valorizam o encontro em uma proposta relacional de performance. Para tanto, serão analisadas práticas em performance em que o performer intervém no cotidiano urbano dos transeuntes, propondo um instante de encontro com o outro. Desta forma, a reflexão deste trabalho se desenvolve através da análise das criações de duas performers atuantes no Brasil, Eleonora Fabião e Tania Alice e minhas próprias experiências em performance. Entre os principais teóricos estudados destacam-se André Carreira, Eleonora Fabião, John Dewey, Laurence Louppe, Nicholas Borriaud, Renato Cohen, Tania Alice Feix e Zygmunt Bauman. A análise das práticas performáticas será concretizada buscando associações entre os estudos da performance e as práticas observadas e experimentadas. / This study aims to investigate, understand, analyse and highlight aspects of performance as a means of dialogue between the social and the urban daily life. Toward a panorama of a society of diluted relations, this investigation confronts this reality and obtaining values of relational proposal for performance. Therefore, practices will be analyzed in performance where the performer intervenes in the urban everyday flow of passers, proposing a moment of encounter with the other. Thus, the reflection of this work is developed through the analysis of the creations of two active performers in Brazil, Eleonora Fabião and Tania Alice and my own performance's experience. Among the main theoretical researches stand out André Carreira, Eleonora Fabião, John Dewey, Laurence Louppe, Nicholas Borriaud, Renato Cohen, Tania Alice Feix e Zygmunt Bauman. The analysis of performance practices will be held seeking associations between performance studies and observed practices and experienced.

In our digitalized world, there are ongoing discussions about the public library as a physical place and if it still has a role in our society. Even though many public libraries in Sweden and other western countries are being closed because of political and economic cuts, people still visit the public library. This gives an indication that the library is important not only as a place to borrow books, but as a physical place. This study will try to find answers to how the library space is being used by the visitors by examining when people come to the library, what people do in the library and who these people are. To find answers to these questions, empirical data based upon observations of the library space has been collected. The method of observation used was the TTTmethod (Track the Traffic) developed by the Norwegian scientist Tord Høivik. The TTT-method is a simple method to observe how the different spaces of the library are being used by walking through all the spaces in the library whilst observing what activities are being done. This is repeated at certain times during the library’s opening hours and over a certain period. In this study, the observations were done in three different time-intervals during the day (morning, daytime and evening), over a twoweek period and resulted in 779 registered observations. These data will be analysed in relation to the four space-model developed by the Danish scientist Dorte Skot-Hansen. The model specifies four overall goals of the public library which are experience, involvement, empowerment and innovation and the different possibilities, described in the model as spaces, that the library can offer to fulfil these goals. These four spaces are inspiration, learning, meeting and performative space. In this study, the space that is mostly used, is knowledge, but in the daytime and the evening, the meeting space is also often used. The activities registered are mostly done by adult people. Children and young people are not often observed in the library-space, which gives an indication that this group, which is a priority in the Swedish library act, is not being attended to as it should be according to this. It is also a quite interesting result that activities done by young people often are activities done in a group of people.

O referencial teórico-metodológico adotado na pesquisa foi a Teoria das Representações Sociais proposta por Serge Moscovici (1978) e a abordagem culturalista (JODELET, 2001) foi o referencial de base para dar conta da empiria. Participaram da investigação, na fase de aplicação do questionário, 77 professores lotados em três escolas da Rede Municipal do Jaboatão dos Guararapes (uma Escola Regular Rural, uma Escola de Tempo Integral e uma Escola Regular Urbana), dos quais 20 participaram da fase de realização das entrevistas. O estudo se apoiou na abordagem da pesquisa qualitativa, tendo como procedimentos e instrumentos de recolha e tratamento dos dados: a análise documental tratada pela técnica da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2011), o questionário tratado pelo software EXCEL e análise temática (BARDIN, 2011), bem como a entrevista semiestruturada também pela análise temática. E, em decorrência do processo de inserção no campo, contou ainda com observação de dinâmica de conselho de classe, cujos dados foram tratados através da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelam que as representações sociais de conselho de classe por professores dessa Rede são permeadas por sentidos ambíguos, indicando perspectivas quer progressista quer tradicional.Elas se constituem da conjunção de distintos elementos que se inter-relacionam, agregando sentidos atribuídos à avaliação e à democratização das relações. Tais representações sociais podem ser sintetizadas na dualidade dos seguintes estruturantes: uma ação avaliativa que tanto considera o ensino e aprendizagem do professor e aluno como se conserva restrita ao aprendizado e/ou ao não aprender do aluno; amparam-se na condição de democratização das relações, por meio da reflexão dialogada, mas também se utiliza dessa condição para a manutenção da figura de poder do professor. Os resultados também revelam que independente do tempo de atuação na Rede os professores compartilham sentidos de conselho de classe: entre professores com menor tempo de docência na Rede maior concentração de uma perspectiva conservadora. Enquanto que entre professores em meados e com maior tempo de docência na Rede esse sentido perde força gradualmente. Um ponto a destacar é um indício de que a pressão decorrente das avaliações externas, balizada por índices de rendimento escolar, tem vindo a contribuir para fragilizar a representação que o professor tem do seu poder no conselho de classe. / The present study aimed to understand the social representations of teachers meetings, shared by teachers of the Municipal Education System of Jaboatão dos Guararapes. The theoretical and methodological framework adopted in the research was the Theory of Social Representations proposed by Serge Moscovici (1978) and the culturalist approach (JODELET,2001) was the referential framework to account for the empiricism. Seventy-seven teachers from three schools (a Regular Rural School, a Full-Time School and a Regular Urban School) of the Municipal Education System of Jaboatão dos Guararapes participated in the investigation by answering questionnaires; from the total number of teachers, 20 were interviewed. The study was based on the qualitative research approach, having as procedures and tools for the data collection and processing: the analysis of documents which was treated by the technique of content analysis proposed by Bardin (2011), the questionnaire treated by EXCEL software and thematic analysis (BARDIN, 2011), and a semi-structured interview also treated by the thematic analysis. And, as a result of the process of fieldwork, the study also relied on the observation of the dynamics of teachers‟ meetings, from which data were treated through the content analysis. The results reveal that in the teachers‟ meetings, the social representations of teachers of the Municipal Education System are permeated by ambiguous senses, indicating either progressive or traditional perspectives. They constitute a conjunction of interrelated distinct elements, adding senses attributed to the evaluation and to the democratization of relations.Such social representations can be summarized in the following structural duality: an evaluative action that considers the teaching and learning of the teacher and the student while is kept restricted to learning and/or not learning of the student; it is sustained in the democratization of relations, seeking to solve pedagogical demands through reflective dialogues by different professionals of education, supported by a formative perspective, also using this condition to maintain the image of the teacher's power, supported by control instruments, considering that the student possesses little knowledge. The results also reveal that regardless of how long the teachers have worked in the Municipal Education System, they share senses of teacher‟s meetings: among teachers with less teaching experience in the Education System, there is a higher concentration of a conservative perspective, while among teachers half way through or with more teaching time in the System, this sense weakens gradually. A point to note is the existence of an indication that the pressure deriving from external evaluations, imposed by school performance rates, has contributed to the weakening of the representation that the teacher has of his/her power in the teachers‟ meetings.

A relação família-escola é historicamente acompanhada de conflitos, evidenciados no período em que a criança pequena depende significativamente tanto dos cuidados dos pais quanto dos professores, tornando-se preocupação crescente na Educação Infantil. A pesquisa realizada no campo da creche verificou situações de rivalidade e de culpabilização, efeitos da relação ambivalente que pais e educadores estabelecem entre si na divisão das responsabilidades e das funções destinadas ao bebê, fundamentalmente em seu ingresso na instituição. Diante deste cenário, o estudo fundamentou um dispositivo para mediar a aproximação entre pais e professores, servindo também como recurso disparador de reflexões acerca de sua influência no desenvolvimento e na constituição psíquica da criança. Para tal, propôs-se metodologicamente uma formação por meio dos IRDI (Indicadores de Risco do Desenvolvimento Infantil), articulada aos princípios da Educação Terapêutica, ambos pautados na teoria psicanalítica. Por parte dos pais, verificou-se que a formação promoveu debates entre eles acerca de suas funções educativas, das significações atribuídas à criança e de seus efeitos na relação com os filhos. Verificou-se, ainda, que tal formação auxiliou alguns pais a demandarem ajuda, ao detectarem algum sofrimento de ordem psíquica, ou na investigação de alguma afecção de cunho orgânico na criança. Por parte da creche, verificou-se que as professoras apropriaram-se da formação realizada a partir de seu próprio saber e ofício, encontrando meios de auxiliar os bebês que as preocupavam, considerando a singularidade e as necessidades de cada um, ainda que situados no campo coletivo. O estudo permitiu que se extraíssem princípios norteadores para a construção de uma parceria possível entre pais e professores, compondo uma rede de cuidados e promovendo uma educação subjetivante para a criança pequena. A tese apresenta os fundamentos de um tratamento das relações entre pais e professores na Educação Infantil, visando prevenir rupturas nesta relação inicial e colaborando com a promoção da saúde mental no tempo da primeira infância / The family-school relationship is historically surrounded by conflicts, evidenced in the period in which the small child depends significantly on both the care of the parents and the teachers, becoming a growing concern in Early Childhood Education. The research carried out in the field of Day Care Institutions found situations of rivalry and blame, effects of the ambivalent relationship that parents and educators establish among each other in the division of responsibilities and functions related to the baby, fundamentally when entering the institution. Given this scenario, the study formulated a model to mediate the approximation of parents and teachers, which also acts as a trigger for reflections concerning their influence on the development and the psychic constitution of the child. For this, a training was methodologically proposed through the CDRI (Child Development Risk Indicators), articulated to the principles of Therapeutic Education, both based on the psychoanalytic theory. On the parents side, it was found that the formation promoted debates among them regarding their educational functions, the meanings attributed to the child and their effects on the relationship with the children. It was also found that this training also helped some parents to request help, when detecting some suffering of psychic order, or in the investigation of some organic affection in the child. On the Day Care Institutions, it was found that the teachers have appropriated of their training, based on their own knowledge and skills, finding means to assist the babies who concerned them, considering the singularity and the needs of each one individually, although they were inserted in a collective field. The study allowed the establishment of guiding principles for the construction of a possible partnership between parents and teachers, building a network of care and promoting a subjectivist education for the young child. The thesis presents the foundations of a treatment in the relationships between parents and teachers in Early Childhood Education, in order to prevent that there are no ruptures in this relationship and, consequently, this could help in the promotion of mental health in the time of early childhood

Este trabalho pretende tratar a música caipira, nosso objeto da pesquisa, sob um ponto de vista transcultural, onde, além de evidenciarmos a relação desta com as manifestações portuguesas, indígenas e negras - já largamente comentadas na bibliografia sobre o assunto, vamos procurar também traços, ou reminiscências, de música italiana. O fenômeno da imigração italiana no início do século XX fez parte de um projeto político que visava o aprimoramento das condições morais da sociedade brasileira. Por outro lado havia os habitantes dos espaços rurais do estado de São Paulo, os caipiras, que concentravam grande parte das características consideradas indesejáveis para os intelectuais urbanizados que visavam o progresso do país. Assim, graças à expansão das grandes fazendas na região rural do estado e do assentamento de colônias italianas também no interior, os caipiras estiveram expostos à convivência com estes trabalhadores italianos. Passamos a nos perguntar a respeito de como teria se dado o encaminhamento deste amálgama de culturas (nativo x italiano), especificamente na música. Propusemo-nos a procurar o quê de italiano haveria na música dos nativos. Escolhemos a música caipira por ser um gênero que entrou em ascensão em um momento próximo da chegada dos imigrantes ao país, portanto era a manifestação musical de um grupo que esteve diretamente ligado aos italianos. Acreditamos que estes eventos mereçam ainda mais dedicação por parte dos pesquisadores, uma vez que manifestado o alto grau de possibilidades envolvidas na interação de diversas culturas, estas ainda necessitem de mais colaborações que tratem de elucidá-las. / This work intends to treat the caipira music, our object of research, from a transcultural point of view, where, in addition to showing its relation with the Portuguese, Indian and Black manifestations - already widely commented on in the bibliography on the subject, we will also look for traces , Or reminiscences, of Italian music. The phenomenon of Italian immigration in the early 20th century was part of a political project aimed at improving the moral conditions of Brazilian society. On the other hand, there were the inhabitants of the rural areas of the state of São Paulo, the Caipiras, who concentrated much of the characteristics considered undesirable for the urbanized intellectuals that aimed the progress of the country. Thus, thanks to the expansion of the large farms in the rural area of the state and the settlement of Italian colonies also inland, the Caipiras were exposed to coexistence with these Italian workers. We began to wonder how the referral of this mixture of cultures (native x Italian), specifically in music, would have taken place. We set out to find out what Italian would be in the music of the natives. We chose caipira music because it was a genre that came on the rise at a time when immigrants arrived in the country, so it was the musical manifestation of a group that was directly connected to the Italians. We believe that these events deserve even greater dedication on the part of the researchers, since they expressed the high degree of possibilities involved in the interaction of diverse cultures, these still need more collaborations that try to elucidate them.

När vi skriver detta examensarbete, år 2008, är debatten om miljön stor om hur konsumenten, företagen, staten etc. kan minska sin miljöpåverkan genom att jobba smartare. Inom företagen bedrivs som bekant ett ständigt arbete med hur man kan reducera sina kostnader. Vi har valt att skriva om de möten i arbetslivet som kan hållas på distans, ett område som går båda debatterna till mötes. Eftersom många mötesdeltagare (deltagare) idag flyger eller åker bil för att komma till och från möten så genererar distansmöten fördelar som att det reducerar företagens kostnader samtidigt som det ger en minskad miljöpåverkan. Vi har i vår studie närmare undersökt hur distansmöten bedrivs idag inom de två företag som vi är verksamma inom, vilka policys och verktyg som finns för att främja dessa och hur deltagarna själva ser på saken. Detta för att få svar på de forskningsfrågor som vi gemensamt arbetat fram i samråd med vår handledare. Forskningsfrågorna är följande, Vilka skäl finns det till att hantera möten på distans jämfört med traditionella fysiska möten? Vilka typer av möten kan hanteras på distans? Hur kan effektiva och kvalitativa möten hållas på distans? Hur kan en organisation främja distansmöten? Vårt syfte är att undersöka om det finns några tydliga mönster angående vilka möten en organisation hanterar på distans och i så fall skapa en djupare förståelse för dessa och de riktlinjer som idag finns för distansmöten. Ett av våra mål är också att det material vi får fram skall kunna fungera stödjande vid utformning av mötespolicys. Den metod som vi använt är triangulering där vår insamling av primärdata gjordes med totalt 16 st intervjuer och en enkät där hela 146 av ca 400 respondenter svarade. Vi har även använt sekundärdata genom dokument såsom resepolicys och miljöpolicys. Parallellt med vår insamling av empiriskt material har vi studerat relevant litteratur som tar upp ämnesområdet distansmöten. Vi har i rapporten valt att avgränsa oss och endast fokusera på interna möten i de båda studerade företagen eftersom den sociala relationen i externa möten ofta ses som alltför viktig för att i större utsträckning hanteras via distans. Studien visar att en medvetenhet om de fördelar distansmöten ger kostnadsmässigt och miljömässigt finns i de studerade företagen, men att de främsta skälen till att hantera möten på distans ur deltagarens perspektiv är kostnadsbesparingen och den tidsvinst de genererar. Resultatet pekar också på att alla typer av interna möten kan hanteras via distans, men att förhandlingar är den mötestyp som är absolut svårast. Flertalet faktorer som exempelvis mötets karaktär, kostnad, tillgänglig teknik och deltagarnas vana vid distansmöten påverkar också starkt huruvida ett möte hanteras på distans eller inte. För att få till stånd effektiva och kvalitativa distansmöten så visar studien att krav ställs på tydlighet i vad som skall avhandlas och hur detta ska skötas, ordförandens egenskaper, de tekniska hjälpmedlen samt att tiden för mötet begränsas till max 1-2 timmar. Tydlighet visar sig också vara en avgörande faktor ur ett organisatoriskt perspektiv där de policys och riktlinjer som sätts indirekt och direkt påverkar hur distansmöten bedrivs i organisationens olika delar.

Background: During 2014 a total of 89062 people died in Sweden. Nurses' will meet patients who are in the end of their life. The work with dying patients can be emotionally draining but also very rewarding for the nurses. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore nurses' experiences of meeting the dying patients and their close ones. Method: The method used is a litterature based study with focus on qualitative studies. The articles were processed using the Friberg method of analysis. Results: There were ten articles which were analysed and compiled to a result. There are three themes and ten subthemes. The first theme is about seeing the work as a privilege - it's about happiness, gratefulness and benevolence. The second theme is about feeling frustration - it's about not being ready to meet the patient and their close ones, being uncertain and being alone during work. The third and last theme is to experience stress - it's about feeling pressure, feel sadness and to feel stress and anxiety. Conclusion: Both positive and negative experiences are shown in the result. The palliative care isn't just about caring for the patient, but also about supporting their next of kin in their mourning process. The nurses experiences can sometimes reflect in their work towards the patient and their kin, which puts the nurses in a difficult situation. / livets slutskede, möte, sjuksköterskors erfarenhet, palliativ vård

The objective of this thesis is a business management of a Czech capital company. The purpose is to give a definition or prevailing characteristic of business management and to point out the problems of interpretation, analyse them and outline possible solutions. The thesis is divided into six chapters, each of them is divided into subchapters and where necessary also into parts. Each chapter ends with a short summary. The first chapter focuses on giving a definition of term business management. Many characteristics of this terms are given from judicial decisions of Supreme Court of Czech Republic. It is needed to distinguish business management from strategic decisions, decisions with low importance and acting on behalf of a company, although this may in some cases follow the decisions about business management. Second chapter discuss about historical terms using instead of business management. The third chapter deals with organizational structure of limited liability company and joint-stock company. In joint-stock company executive board solve questions about business management. In limited liability company have a duty to make decisions about business management directors. The monistic structure of joint-stock company is described and analysed in last chapter. The fourth chapter covers...

Inledning: Terapi med en kvinna som utsatts för våld i nära relation kan vara en utmaning för terapeuten då det innebär att lyssna till hur en nära partner till kvinnan har utsatt henne för våld. Det kan bli en smärtsam påminnelse om mörkare sidor av människans existens och kan väcka starka känslor hos den som lyssnar. Frågeställningar: Denna studie syftar till att undersöka legitimerade psykoterapeuters erfarenheter av att i terapi möta kvinnor som har varit utsatta för våld i nära relation. Frågeställningarna är: Hur arbetar terapeuten för att uppnå en terapeutisk allians? Vad upplever terapeuten som hjälpande respektive försvårande i att bygga en terapeutisk allians? Vilka känslomässiga upplevelser och reaktioner kan väckas inom terapeuten själv i dessa möten? Hur hanterar terapeuten dessa uppkomna reaktioner? Metod: Terapeuter som bedrivit terapier med en kvinna som har utsatts för våld i nära relation intervjuades om sina erfarenheter. Materialet analyserades med hjälp av induktiv tematisk analys, som kan beskrivas som data-driven eller botten upp. Resultat: Resultaten visar att upprättandet av terapeutisk allians med en kvinna som har upplevt våld i nära relation kan ta lång tid, ibland flera månader och år. Deltagarna beskrev vikten av ett mellanmänskligt möte och av att vara genuint intresserad och närvarande i det den utsatta kvinnan berättade. En terapeutisk allians beskrevs kunna ha sin början då kvinnan upplevde sig vara förstådd av sin terapeut. Deltagarna beskrev också att de behövde vara mera aktiva i dessa terapier än i andra terapier och de använde sig av psykoedukativa metoder. Många motöverföringsreaktioner beskrevs, vilka både kunde vara kroppsliga, kognitiva och emotionella. Diskussion: Deltagarna beskrev det som en utmaning att konfronteras och identifiera sig med kvinnans upplevelser av både hot och våld från en nära partner. För terapeuten blir det en viktig del att vara medveten om och inte agera ut sina motöverföringsreaktioner för att kunna forma och bibehålla en terapeutisk allians. / Introduction: Listening to a woman who has been exposed to intimate partner violence (IVP) may be a challenge for the therapist, as it involves listening to how the woman has been exposed to violence from someone who is close to her. It can be painful remainder of the darker sides of human existence and can evoke strong feelings within the therapist who is listening. Aim: The aim of this paper is to explore what practices that psychotherapists consider helpful in establishing a therapeutic alliance with a woman who has been exposed to IVP? What kind of transference and countertransference reactions does the therapist typically experience? How do these reaction affect the therapist, and how can they be used in therapy? Method: Therapists who conducted therapies with women who had been exposed to IVP were interviewed about their experiences. The material was analysed using inductive thematic analysis, which can be described as data-driven analysis or “bottom-up”. Conclusion: The results show that the establishment of a therapeutic alliance with a woman who has experienced IVP can take a long time, sometimes several months or years. The participants described the importance of an interpersonal meeting and of being genuinely interested to the accounts of the victimized woman. A therapeutic alliance was described as beginning when the woman felt to be understood by her therapist. The therapists also describe that they needed to be more active in therapies with woman who had been exposed to IVP than in other therapies, and that they used psycho-educative methods in these therapies. Many countertransference reactions were described, which could be physical, cognitive and emotional. Discussion: The therapists described the challenge of listening to and identifying with the women’s experiences of both threats and violence from a close partner. For the therapist, it is important to be aware of, and not to act out on their countertransference reactions to be able to create and maintain a therapeutic alliance with the victimized woman.
