Atualmente o radiofármaco com a maior quantidade de embalados expedidos por ano e com a maior atividade total é o gerador de tecnécio-99m. Com o intuito de diminuir as doses individuais dos trabalhadores envolvidos na produção de radiofármacos foi realizado um estudo de otimização da proteção radiológica no processo de expedição do gerador de tecnécio-99m, utilizando as técnicas de análise de custo-benefício diferencial, análise de custo-benefício integral, análise de prioridade com atributos múltiplos e análise com critérios múltiplos excedentes. Com alterações na configuração do embalado para despacho do gerador e com a aquisição de uma esteira transportadora foi possível estabelecer 4 opções de proteção. Os atributos considerados foram o custo da proteção, a dose coletiva, a dose individual e o esforço físico realizado pelo trabalhador para movimentar o embalado na falta da esteira. Para verificar a robustez das soluções analíticas encontradas com as técnicas utilizadas na otimização foi realizado um estudo de sensibilidade e foi constatado que a opção 3 é mais robusta que a opção 1, que deixa de ser a solução analítica com um aumento de R$ 20.000,00 no custo da proteção. / Dissertacao (Mestrado) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Discrimination against migrants in the work place is a frequent subject of studies and discussions. Perceptions and experiences of the Swedish labour market are directly connected to where we come from – our skin colour, religion, and gender. These may even be opposite if we compare a native Swedish and a migrant´s experience of job search, career opportunities, salary, and daily work life. The aim of this thesis is to look closer at migrants that were able to fight or stop discrimination after they were exposed to it. The thesis focuses on strategies used by such individuals and what knowledge and/or experiences led them to resist against it. Decoloniality theory makes up the foundation of the analysis of the material collected from interviews, examining different standpoints from dominant Western world perspectives. This study also uses intersectionality in order to tackle the strategies' complexity and help deconstruct discrimination. Each individuals' experience with discrimination in the workplace and their choice of strategies to avoid it are analysed. The thesis shows how decoloniality theory could connect to migrants' positive attitudes towards most of their professional choices and attempts to retake power amidst discrimination. / <p>2017-06-01</p>

Yes / The goal of decent work is best expressed through the eyes of people. It is about your job and future prospects; about your working conditions; about balancing work and family life, putting your kids through school or getting them out of child labour. It is about gender equality, equal recognition, and enabling women to make choices and take control of their lives. It is about personal abilities to compete in the market place, keep up with new technological skills and remain healthy. It is about developing your entrepreneurial skills, about receiving a fair share of wealth that you have helped to create and not being discriminated against; it is about having a voice in your workplace and your community . . . . For everybody, decent work is about securing human dignity (ILO 2001:7 - 8 cited in Green 2006:19 - 20).

No / The English school sector has been transformed over recent decades through wide-ranging education policies. One far-reaching change has been the dramatic rise in academy schools driven by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition (2010-2015) (Stevenson 2016), with 64.7% of secondary state-funded schools now holding academy status (Department for Education 2018). A central issue emerging from this context is the changes to school teachers’ pay and working conditions, given that autonomy over employment terms and conditions transfer from local authorities to operating education trusts under the academy model (see Academies Act 2010). Stevenson (2011) importantly argued that rather than establishing new directions in education policy, recent changes – such as the academy expansion enterprise – solidify the long-standing trajectory of restructuring to public education, underpinned by neoliberal ideologies. Such projects seek to fragment a public service accountable to local authorities, superseding it with a state-subsidised system buttressed by predominantly private investors (Stevenson 2011); pressing schools into competition for students and resources (Connell 2009). Dovetailed in this setting, a significant study by Carter and Stevenson (2012:491), exploring workforce remodelling in teaching, found strong evidence for “an accelerated form of creeping managerialism,” with middle-grade teachers carrying increasing responsibility for the monitoring of colleagues. The combined effects of markets and managerialism, that bolster the grander-scale neoliberal project, have worked in unison to fundamentally recast teachers’ experiences of work (Stevenson and Wood 2013). Currently in its analytical phase, this PhD study, informed by a labour process theoretical (LPT) perspective, set out to explore (1) the various formal and informal structures and processes (control strategies) that impact on school teachers’ work, (2) how teachers experience those control strategies, (3) teachers’ orientations to work and (4) how teachers’ orientations to work interrelate with their experiences of control strategies. Several scholars employ an LPT perspective to facilitate critical studies of teachers’ work (for examples see Carter and Stevenson 2012; Stevenson and Wood 2013). Yet there remains a paucity of research that takes an LPT approach to the in-depth interpretive analysis of teachers’ work. Inspired by a call from Reid (2003) for research that combines LPT with detailed single-site ethnographic accounts, a qualitative ethnography of one academy school in Northern England was conducted over a four-month period. This comprised interviews with 26 teachers, senior managers, HR and trade union representatives; a six-week shadowing period; non-participant observations and document collection. This article focuses on two key issues relating to the impact of academies and widespread managerialism on teachers’ work experiences: working time and teaching preparation. In particular, it highlights the erosion of autonomy previously given to teachers to manage their own time, lessons and resources; with accounts of increased frustration at the rising mechanisation of teaching. The central contribution of this paper, therefore, is the application of LPT to the context of contemporary teachers’ work in England, to gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of academies and widespread managerialism on school teachers’ working lives.

No / This paper explores nursing students' experiences and perceptions of negative behaviour and bullying in clinical placement measured against expectations at the start of their education. It explores their understanding and how they make sense of their circumstances and their experiences of negative behaviour, emphasizing socialization processes and factors which may prevent or reproduce negative behaviour and bullying. To this end, a focus group study was conducted, and this revealed that many students felt exploited, ignored or were made to feel unwelcome, although few reported personal experience of bullying. These frequent but less severe negative experiences appear to play a key role in institutionalizing an unwelcoming culture within which bullying could easily be triggered or take hold. Students' coping mechanisms may also contribute to reproducing such negative behaviour. The paper concludes that while the vulnerable position of student nurses might offer some protection against outright bullying, it is unable to shield them from unfriendly and negative behaviour, with implications for their learning and professional socialization. If student nurses respond to their experiences by suppressing their feelings and developing a hard front, such responses may themselves contribute to a reproduction of such behaviour with implications for personal wellbeing and retention rates.

Nesta perspectiva, o estudo objetivou descrever e analisar as condições de trabalho dos médicos que laboram nas instituições de saúde do Estado, na região metropolitana de Salvador, buscando compreender em que medida essas condições compõem uma das dimensões do fenómeno mencionado. Metodologicamente, a dissertação foi dividida em duas etapas; na primeira, precedeu-se a analise quantitativa das condições de trabalho dos médicos servidores públicos, vinculados diretamente à Secretaria de Saúde do Estado da Bahia (SESAB), a partir de um tratamento estatístico aos dados secundários obtidos através do questionário constante da pesquisa “Perfil da morbidade e fatores subjacentes às licenças médicas de servidores públicos da Secretaria da Saúde do Estado da Bahia”, financiada pela Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia – FAPESB e realizada pela equipe do Instituto de Saúde Coletiva – ISC da Universidade Federal da Bahia, em 2013. A segunda etapa consiste numa pesquisa qualitativa, realizada por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, com médicos titulares de modalidades contratuais diversas com o Estado. Buscou-se investigar a percepção subjetiva desses médicos sobre suas condições de trabalho e os desdobramentos em suas vidas pessoais e motivação para o trabalho. Os resultados também foram apresentados separadamente: os dados quantitativos, contrariando o que era esperado inicialmente, não conduziram a um quadro consistente de precariedade das condições de trabalho, embora parte não desprezível da amostra tenha destacado aspectos negativos acerca de sua atividade; já analise realizada a partir da visão dos sujeitos envolvidos, destacou efetivamente a precarização das condições de trabalho, traduzidas através da deficiência no ambiente fisico laboral, da sobrecarga de trabalho, da diminuição do grau de autonomia, dos problemas nas relações interpessoais e na violência dada na relação profissional-usuário, além do desgaste profissional. O diagnostico das condições de trabalho oferece contribuições basilares para construção de estratégias de enfrentamento desses problemas que, em larga medida, impacta também no desempenho da prestação dos respectivos serviços públicos de saúde. / This research studied the working conditions of doctors who work in the public service of the State of Bahia, in the perspective of analysis in the empirical framework of the more general scenario of social labor precariousness that affects the medical category. The study aimed to describe and analyze the working conditions of doctors who work in state health institutions in the metropolitan region of Salvador, seeking to put in evidence and understand to what extent they make up one of the dimensions of that precariousness. Methodologically, this dissertation was divided into two stages; the first, preceded the quantitative analysis of the working conditions that doctors allocated in the public health service face, bound directly to Bahia State’s Health Secretariat (SESAB), from a statistical analysis of secondary data obtained through constant research questionnaire "Profile of morbidity and factors underlying medical license of civil servants from the Health’s Secretary of the State of Bahia", funded by the Support Research Foundation of Bahia State - FAPESB and made by the staff of the Public Health Institute - ISC from Federal University of Bahia, in 2013. The second stage consisted in a qualitative research, where, through semi-structured interviews conducted in the first half of 2006, we sought to investigate the subjective perception of doctors who also work in the public service of the State, regardless the type of contract, on their working conditions. At this stage, it sought to further understand the impact of these conditions on personal life and motivation to work of these professionals. The results were also presented separately: the quantitative data have not led to a consistent framework of precarious working conditions, though not negligible part of the sample has highlighted negative aspects about their activity; the analysis carried out from the perspective of the subjects involved, effectively highlighted the precarious working conditions, translated empirically by: disabilities in the labor physical environment, work overload, decreased degree of autonomy, problems in interpersonal relationships and violence in the professional-patient relationship, in addition to professional wear. The diagnosis of working conditions offers contributions in order to build strategies to face this problem, which to some extent, also impacts the performance of the of public health services.

This report is the outcome of a Field Study project. The aim of the study was to findout how the floating deaf-mute children of migrant workers experience psychologicalproblems in Guiyang, China. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological system theory was used asa theoretical frame. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 4 inner migrantcouples who have deaf-mute children receiving treatment in a Center for disabled inGuiyang. 12 professionals working with treating deaf-mute children are alsointerviewed as well as 5 deaf-mute children. In total together 21 informants areinterviewed. The result of this study shows that three main aspects influence thepsychological problems of floating deaf-mute children with migrant parents most:social welfare policy, family income conditions and the center of treatmentenvironment. This study explored the problems based on Brofenbreener’s ecologicalsystems approach, which for the author had a new perspective to research on thesituation of deaf-mute children of migrant workers in Guiyang, China.

Samtidigt som antalet äldre med stora omsorgsbehov ökar, har äldreomsorgen rekryteringsproblem och hög personalomsättning, vilket är en utmaning för samhället. Att uppleva tillfredsställelse i arbetet har visat sig kunna minska personalomsättningen. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur undersköterskor upplever sitt arbete i äldreomsorgen samt vad som ger tillfredsställelse respektive skapar otillfredsställelse i arbetet. Uppsatsen bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med undersköterskor (n=6). Resultaten analyserades hermeneutiskt och utifrån Herzbergs tvåfaktorsteori samt Antonovskys teori om KASAM. Undersköterskorna i vår studie upplevde sig generellt tillfredsställda med sitt arbete. Resultatet visar att en viktig faktor som gav förutsättningar till arbetstillfredsställelse var goda mellanmänskliga relationer. Otillfredsställelse i arbetet skapades framförallt av bristande tid att utföra arbetsuppgifter på ett tillfredställande sätt. Vi argumenterar för att vårt resultat kan ge en vägledning till vad som ger tillfredställelse respektive skapar otillfredsställelse för undersköterskor i äldreomsorgen och därigenom bidra med kunskap till äldreomsorgen. / The number of older people with major care-needs increase, at the same time as elder care has problems with recruitment and high staff turnover. This is a challenge for society. Satisfaction at work has been shown to reduce staff turnover. The purpose of this study is to examine how nurse assistants perceive their work in elder care, and what creates satisfaction and dissatisfaction at work. The results, based on interviews with nurse assistants (n=6) analyzed hermeneutically using Herzberg’s two-factor theory and Antonovsky’s sense of coherence theory showed that most nurse assistants felt generally satisfied with their work. The result shows that an important factor giving the conditions for work satisfaction was good human interpersonal relationships. Dissatisfaction at work was mainly due to the lack of time to fulfill work tasks to a satisfactory level. We argue that our results can provide guidance to reasons for satisfaction and dissatisfaction for nurse assistants in elderly care and contribute to important knowledge to elder care.
