Bronchini, Giovanni. "Progettazione preliminare di un impianto cogenerativo ad alto rendimento per un'industria tessile." Master's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2021. http://amslaurea.unibo.it/22618/.
Full textAbstract:
L'obiettivo della presente tesi è stato quello di svolgere un approfondimento dei fabbisogni energetici di un’industria tessile situata in Lombardia, in provincia di Como, finalizzato alla progettazione preliminare di un intervento di efficientamento energetico.
Inizialmente è stata riportata una panoramica del lavoro svolto presentando il processo con il quale vengono svolte le diagnosi energetiche industriali, le normative di riferimento sulle quali basare il lavoro, prestando particolare attenzione alla normativa relativa alla Cogenerazione ad Alto Rendimento (CAR), e presentando, dal punto di vista teorico, la tecnologia presa in considerazione per la valutazione dell’intervento di efficientamento ovvero la Cogenerazione.
Una volta introdotte le nozioni teoriche base indispensabili alla comprensione dell’elaborato si è passati alla presentazione dell’oggetto dello studio, ovvero il caso pratico relativo alla società lombarda che prende il nome di Tintoria e Stamperia di Lambrugo Spa. In questa parte dell’elaborato sono stati presentati i principali processi interni allo stabilimento, i relativi vettori energetici e le curve di carico relative ai consumi dello stabilimento riferiti all’anno 2019; sulla base di tali dati si è passati poi all’analisi tecnico/economica di diverse proposte di impianto, valutando se risulti effettivamente possibile e conveniente realizzare l’intervento di efficientamento.
Complessivamente sono state apprese le linee guida necessarie alla realizzazione di una diagnosi energetica industriale, è stato necessario prendere atto del problema da analizzare e valutare le possibili soluzioni apportabili per migliorarne la situazione energetica esistente, sviluppare la capacità di relazionarsi con professionisti del settore, ed imparare a conoscere quello che è il mondo del lavoro nel ramo dell’efficientamento energetico.

L'elaborato tratta del dimensionamento di un impianto di trigenerazione, ovvero un cogeneratore e un impianto frigorifero ad assorbimento, per il reparto di produzione di un'azienda di concimi e fertilizzanti. Tale proposta è stata pensata in quanto l'azienda in esame acquista la totalità dell'energia elettrica dalla rete e ha degli impianti di riscaldamento e climatizzazione obsoleti che necessitano di sostituzione a breve termine. Partendo da un' analisi approfondita dei consumi di energia elettrica, termica e frigorifera del reparto si è giunti a definire la taglia dell'impianto. In base alla modalità di funzionamento è stata scelta la tecnologia di cogenerazione: tra i vari motori primi è stato ritenuto opportuno utilizzare un motore endotermico per via della sua elevata flessibilità a fermate e ripartenze e anche in quanto esso richiede un basso costo di investimento iniziale rispetto ad altre soluzioni. Sono state svolte delle simulazioni sul funzionamento dell'impianto variando il numero di ore di lavoro del cogeneratore con il fine di massimizzare il tempo di accensione e di riuscire contemporaneamente ad ottenere la qualifica CAR, importante affinché si possa usufruire di incentivi economici come la defiscalizzazione del combustibile in ingresso al cogeneratore e l'emissione di certificati bianchi. Avendo ottenuto dei casi in cui la qualifica CAR non era garantita, è stato necessario contenere il numero di ore di funzionamento dell'impianto e ridurre i casi di studio a due situazioni. L'ultima parte riguarda l'analisi economica dell'investimento: il risparmio ottenuto dalla cogenerazione è imputabile al minor acquisto di energia elettrica dalla rete a cui però corrisponde un aumento dei consumi di gas naturale. Considerando anche l'esborso iniziale per l'acquisto della macchina, l'investimento è risultato conveniente in entrambi i casi.

Full textAbstract:
Il presente elaborato finale di tesi è stato svolto in collaborazione con l’azienda forlivese STC Power, con l’obbiettivo principale di analizzare le esigenze energetiche di una cartiera in modo tale da poter valutare diverse soluzioni cogenerative applicabili ed individuare la più idonea.
Sono state studiate le necessità del cliente in esame, in modo da individuare le possibili soluzioni impiantistiche adottabili e sono state analizzate le potenzialità delle più comuni macchine di produzione cogenerativa, cioè i cicli che si appoggiano sull’utilizzo delle turbine a gas e quelli che utilizzano motori a combustione interna.
Una volta eseguito questo iniziale processo di analisi si è passati alla simulazione, attraverso il software termodinamico Thermoflex, di quattro possibili soluzioni, cioè:
• TG in ciclo semplice;
• TG in ciclo combinato con TV a contropressione;
• TG in ciclo combinato con TV a condensazione;
• MCI più caldaia ausiliaria.
Le simulazioni sono state eseguite sia in modalità di design, per dimensionare adeguatamente i componenti, sia in modalità off-design per ottenere i bilanci termodinamici in riferimento alle condizioni di funzionamento. Queste ultime sono state utilizzate per ricavare le performance delle diverse soluzioni impiantistiche e quelli che sono i bilanci economici che ne conseguono.
Per quanto riguarda i ricavi ottenibili è stata eseguita una dettagliata analisi sui certificati bianchi conseguibili.
Una volta individuato il saldo annuo è stato valutato l’investimento iniziale per l’installazione di ciascuna soluzione.
Grazie a questa analisi tecnico-economica è risultato possibile indicare la turbina a gas in ciclo semplice come la soluzione vincente.
Su questo ciclo è stato poi eseguito un lavoro di approfondimento svolgendo un’analisi analoga a quella fatta in precedenza, andando però a considerare in maniera più dettagliata i consumi energetici mensili ed il possibile utilizzo di macchine motrici appartenenti a diversi produttori.

Richards, Samuel. "Can Adam Smith Answer the Normative Question?" Digital Archive @ GSU, 2013. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/philosophy_theses/131.
Full textAbstract:
In The Sources of Normativity, Christine Korsgaard argues that in order to avoid the threat of moral skepticism, our moral theories must show how the claims they make about the nature of our actions obligate us to act morally. A theory that can justify the normativity of morality in this way answers what Korsgaard calls “the normative question.” Although Korsgaard claims that only Kantian theories of morality, such as her own, can answer the normative question, I argue that Adam Smith’s sentimentalist moral theory, as presented in The Theory of Moral Sentiments, can answer the normative question as well. As a result, it is possible to respond to the moral skeptic in the way Korsgaard outlines without accepting some of the theoretical drawbacks of Korsgaard’s own moral theory.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the practice of sedation in hospice palliative care. Internationally this has been a controversial subject for over 20 years, with the use of sedation considered to be on a spectrum between euthanasia and symptom control at the end of life. This is a complex area of study, incorporating not only technical details regarding drugs and doses, but also relating to underlying values regarding end of life care. In the UK end of life care has developed from the ‘hospice movement’ of the 1960s, into the broad and far reaching approach of palliative care. Alongside this development, palliative care has espoused its own ‘ethos’ and values, evident in much of the literature in this area. This thesis presents the data from an ethnographic study in a UK hospice. The aim of the study was to develop a normative understanding of the use of sedation in hospice palliative care. The ethnography allowed an in depth understanding of this practice through prolonged immersion in the field of study. This enabled the practice of sedation to be understood as a process, or series of decisions, based upon a tacit understanding of a patient’s proximity to death. This was driven by the desire of hospice staff to bring about a comfortable and peaceful death, which was in turn motivated by the underpinning values, of the individual, the organisation, and of the approach of palliative care. This thesis has important implications for the future: for the specific use of sedative drugs in hospice palliative care, as well as for the broader issues in palliative care concerning decision-making at the end of life. A new definition for sedation at the end of life is constructed, relating particularly to, as it is derived from, the practice and underpinning values of hospice palliative care in the UK. Furthermore, as the evolving and changing nature of UK palliative care is considered, the capacity for hospice palliative care to enable the expression of different values, which manifest as a result of the changes in palliative care, represents a challenge to one of the core principles of the approach; patient centred care. This thesis introduces and considers values based practice as an approach which may facilitate the identification of values in decision-making, and reorientate care towards a more ‘patient-values-centred’ approach.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the relationship between ideals of motherhood and heterosexual normativity, from the perspective of women at the margins of these discourses. The title, In the shadow of Motherhood, illustrates the overriding power of the image of motherhood to marginalise alternative experiences. The concept of motherhood, like that of Family, has traditionally signalled the reproduction of the normative; it does not usually encompass the critical scrutiny that would allow for diverse experiences of mothering. Theoretically, the study is located within the fields of feminist sociology and inclusive family studies in productive dialogue with queer notions of gender and sexuality. Methodologically, it is inspired by narrative analysis and consists of in-depth interviews with eight lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual women grappling with different experiences of motherhood and mothering practices. Some of them identify as mothers while others do not, but by not being biogenetic mothers within a heterosexual relationship they share the position of being outside of what is often considered normal, natural and desirable. The analysis reveals a considerable variation in the positions, experiences and identities of the participants, particularly in regards to changes over time, which cannot be reduced to binary categories such as heterosexual/lesbian, biological/non-biological, mother/childless or voluntary/involuntary childlessness. The analysis also exposes a deep tension between ideologies of motherhood and lived experiences of care practices. Furthermore, from the perspective of the participants, the boundaries between inclusion and exclusion reinforce and challenge each other, creating spaces of both individual and collective resistance. The study illuminates the need to shift the location of these experiences from the margins to the centre not only in sociological research of family and gender, but also within feminist sociology.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There is, as yet, no cure for HIV/AIDS, a disease that has affected South African society profoundly. While antiretrovirals (ARVs) are now available and have stemmed the tide of AIDS deaths, medicines alone cannot be seen as a long-term solution. Treatment costs, finite resources, limited health-care capacity, morbidity and the unpleasant side-effects of ARVs, make treatment an untenable solution. The Christian church in South Africa continues to retain a powerful position; it has a significant affiliation; it is present in most geographic areas and inspires trust and confidence. Furthermore, in my view, the church, by its very nature and calling, is mandated not only to demonstrate and provide care, but also to inspire care-giving. In the light of HIV/AIDS, what does care mean? Can it only mean rendering care that is welfarist in nature? Or does the church have the mandate to look beyond immediate suffering, to examine and address those issues that lie at the core of suffering? Research has demonstrated that issues such as poverty, injustice, stigma, discrimination, gender inequality and patriarchy fuel the pandemic. Ultimately, it is the “othering” of people; the failure not to recognise God in another person and our common humanity, that lie at the heart of the problem. These then, I suggest, are the very reasons why the church must address these areas. But that is not all: if HIV/AIDS care is to be rendered in a developmental way, then there must be a thorough understanding of the disease: how is the virus transmitted, how can it be prevented and treated? It is also important to understand that there is not a single global epidemic but many local epidemics; the determinants and risk-factors of these need to be recognised, as must the cultural, economic, political and social contexts that fuel the spread of the disease. The changing nature of society, the effects of globalisation, the evolving nature of care owing to biomedical advances and even the “privatisation” of sex all need to be comprehended. Furthermore, any meaningful rendering of care requires the churches to examine why they should be giving it and the values that underpin such care-giving. I make the case that the churches are required to do nothing less than drive social change in situations of suffering, injustice and abuse. An examination of the history of HIV/AIDS in South Africa illustrates that the churches have often failed to meet up to this calling. An empirical study was conducted as to how the churches render care at a more micro, grassroots level, using a framework propounded by David Korten, who suggests that authentic development must be people-centred, rather than growthcentred. Essentially, development must seek to increase personal and institutional capacities, guided by principles of justice, sustainability and inclusiveness. In these respects, I argue, it accords very strongly with the Christian message. Korten suggests that there are four orientations (or generations) of rendering help but it is only the fourth generation that is truly developmental. Through the use of case study methodology, I sought to examine the manner in which the churches render care, in a region of the Western Cape, outside Cape Town, known as the Helderberg Basin. The area is representative of many peri-urban areas in the Cape: it is predominantly Christian, with a mix of different denominations and racial and socio-economic groupings. It allowed for an assessment of care initiatives afforded by mainline, charismatic and African Independent Churches and in particular, sought to answer the question of whether churches engage with HIV/AIDS in a way that Korten would identify as developmental. From the research, it is clear that the church is hampered by its inability to talk of sex and sexuality; its knowledge of the issues surrounding HIV/AIDS is limited; it has not done a sufficient amount to conscientise its followers; the church has yet to learn to utilise its networks; it lacks technical know-how and is unwilling to engage in the political sphere. Social change is only possible if the church embraces a new vision of how to create a better world. Additionally, I recommend that the church looks to the emerging church movement to achieve radical transformation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: MIV/VIGS is ‘n siekte wat Suid-Afrika onmeetbaar beїnvloed en waarvoor daar tot op hede geen genesing is nie. Antiretrovirale middels (ARVs) is weliswaar beskikbaar en het die gety van VIGS sterftes gestuit maar medisyne kan nie alleen as die langtermyn oplossing gesien word nie. Behandelingskoste, beperkte hulpbronne en vermoë om gesondheidsorg te lewer, morbiditeit en die negatiewe newe-effekte van ARVs bring mee dat slegs mediese behandeling ‘n onhoudbare oplossing is. Die Christelike kerk in Suid-Afrika behou steeds ‘n magsposisie; dit het ‘n beduidende lidmaatskap asook ‘n teenwoordigheid in meeste dele van die land en boesem vertroue en sekerheid in. Dié kerk is na my mening gemandateer deur haar besondere aard en roeping om nie alleen sorg te bewys en te voorsien nie maar ook om versorging aan te moedig. Maar wat beteken sorg, gegewe die aard van MIV/VIGS? Kan dit slegs die lewering van welsyngerigte sorg beteken? Of sou die kerk die mandaat hê om verder as onmiddellike lyding te kyk en ondersoekend die kwessies wat aan die wortel van lyding lê, aan te spreek? Navorsing het aangetoon dat kwessies soos armoede, onreg, stigma, diskriminasie, geslagsongelykheid en patriargie die epidemie aanvuur. Uiteindelik is dit die objektivering (“othering”) van mense - dit is die onvermoë om God nie in ‘n ander persoon en ons gemeenskaplike mensheid te herken nie - wat die hart van die probleem is. Ek betoog dat hierdie die redes is waarom die kerk hierdie kwessies moet aanspreek. Om ondersoek in te stel of en tot watter mate die kerk sorg verskaf in verband met MIV/VIGS het ek die raamwerk van David Korten gebruik. Dié raamwerk stel voor dat outentieke ontwikkeling mensgesentreerd eerder as groeigesentreed sal wees. Ontwikkeling moet essensieel streef na ‘n toename van persoonlike en institusionele vermoë, gerig deur beginsels van geregtigheid, volhoubaarheid en inklusiwiteit. Ek toon aan dat hierdie beginsels baie sterk ooreenkom met die Christelike boodskap. Korten stel vier hulplewerende oriëntasies (ook genoem generasies) voor maar dit is eintlik slegs die vierde generasie van hulp wat werklik ontwikkelingsgerig is. Maar dit is nie al nie. Indien MIV/VIGS versorging ontwikkelingsgerig gaan wees, moet dit gegrond wees op ‘n diepgaande verstaan en kennis van die siekte soos onder andere, hoe die virus versprei word en hoe die siekte voorkóm en behandel kan word? Dit is ook belangrik om te verstaan dat daar nie slegs ‘n enkele globale epidemie is nie maar verskeie lokale epidemies. Die veroorsakende en risiko faktore van hierdie epidemies moet daarom geїdentifiseer word en so ook die kulturele, ekonomiese, politieke en sosiale konteks wat die verspreiding van hierdie siekte aanhelp. Die veranderende aard van gemeenskappe, die effek van globalisering, die ontwikkelende aard van gesondheidsorg vanweë die vooruitgang in die mediese wetenskap en die “privatisering” van seks moet alles in ag geneem word. Betekenisvolle versorging vereis dat kerke ondersoek instel na waarom die versorging aangebied word en die waardes onderliggend daaraan. Ek stel die saak dat daar van kerke verwag word om sosiale verandering te stuur waar mense swaarkry, onregverdig behandel en misbruik word. ‘n Ondersoek na die geskiedenis van MIV/VIGS in Suid-Afrika illustreer dat kerke dikwels misluk het om aan hierdie roeping gehoor te gee. In opvolging van die bostaande argumente het ek navorsing uitgevoer oor hoe kerke sorg op ‘n mikro of voetsool-vlak aanbied. Hiervoor het ek die genoemde mensgesentreerde ontwikkelingsraamwerk van David Korten gebruik. ‘n Gevalstudie benadering is gevolg in die Helderbergkom wat geleë is in ‘n streek van Wes- Kaapland buite Kaapstad. Hierdie gebied is verteenwoordigend van baie buitestedelike gebiede van die Kaap: dit is oorwegend Christelik en sluit ‘n verskeidenheid van denominasies, rasse en sosio-ekonomiese groeperings in. Die gebied maak ‘n oorsig moontlik van die sorg-inisiatiewe van hoofstroom, charismatiese en Afrika onafhanklike Kerke, en in die besonder van ‘n identifikasie daarvan of kerke betrokke by MIV/VIGS dit doen op ‘n wyse wat Korten sou tipeer as ontwikkelingsgerig. Uit hierdie navorsing het dit duidelik geword dat die kerk gekniehalter word deur ‘n onvermoë om oor seks en seksualiteit te praat; die kerk se kennis beperk is wanneer dit kom by kwessies wat handel oor MIV/VIGS; dit nie genoeg doen om lidmate bewus te maak van VIGS kwessies nie; dit nog veel te leer het oor hoe om netwerke aan te wend; dit tegniese kennis kort en onwillig is om met sake van politieke belang om te gaan. Sosiale verandering is alleen moontlik indien die kerk ‘n nuwe visie voorhou oor hoe om ‘n beter wêreld te skep. Ek beveel ten slotte aan dat die kerk let op die ontluikende kerkbeweging om radikale transformasie te verwesenlik.

Full textAbstract:
If Aristotle was right in claiming that the aim of moral philosophy is to help us determine how we ought to live, then part of the aim of moral philosophy must be to help us improve our prescriptive accounts of moral decision making--our accounts of how we should make moral decisions. In my dissertation I examine implications of empirical research in cognitive science, social psychology, and decision theory for issues in moral decision making. I argue that empirical evidence suggests that principled guidance is in fact beneficial for decision making, which calls into question particularist prescriptive accounts. I also argue that contrary to the prevailing view, research suggests that taking a first-person perspective when making judgments about what we ought to do might actually help us make better moral judgments. Additionally, I argue that jurors will be more likely to make fairer and more accurate judgments by taking the perspective of the defendant than by trying to maintain a detached and 'objective' point of view.

Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2007. A avaliação psicológica no Brasil tem recebido grandes estímulos para seu desenvolvimento, advindos das necessidades práticas, bem como das diretrizes atuais do Conselho Federal de Psicologia, buscando-se parâmetros técnicos adequados às características da população brasileira. Paralelamente, o significativo crescimento dos idosos no mundo e também no Brasil tem justificado investimentos científicos voltados à investigação das características psicológicas do envelhecimento, muitas vezes recorrendo aos recursos da avaliação psicológica como estratégia de acesso informativo. Dentro desta realidade, o presente estudo objetivou desenvolver padrões normativos do desempenho de idosos para o Teste de Pirâmides Coloridas de Pfister e para o Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), almejando também conhecer características da afetividade e das funções executivas na velhice. Foram estudados 100 voluntários de 60 a 75 anos de idade, distribuídos entre os sexos, com bom estado geral de saúde e ausência de comprometimentos físicos e psíquicos severos, avaliados por triagem médica prévia, bem como por entrevista inicial sobre histórico de vida. Os instrumentos psicológicos foram aplicados individualmente, conforme seus respectivos padrões técnicos, e na seguinte sequência: entrevista, Teste de Pfister e WCST, respeitando-se os cuidados éticos devidos nesses processos de avaliação psicológica. Os resultados foram estruturados de modo a caracterizar os padrões de desempenho (normas) dos idosos avaliados, pretendendo-se ainda conhecer marcas do processo do envelhecimento (cognitivas e afetivas) por meio das técnicas de avaliação psicológica presentemente utilizadas. Buscou-se também avaliar possível influência da variável sexo sobre os resultados nas técnicas psicológicas aplicadas, bem como comparar estes dados com as normas para adultos, no caso do Teste de Pfister, e para idosos norte-americanos, no caso do WCST, até o momento disponíveis para estas técnicas, não específicas para idosos brasileiros. Para tanto, foram realizadas análises estatísticas apropriadas aos dados (paramétricas e não paramétricas), utilizando-se nível de significância menor ou igual a 0,05. Por fim, procurou-se estudar eventual relação entre indicadores técnicos do Teste de Pfister e resultados no WCST dos idosos, almejando-se identificar possibilidades informativas sobre o funcionamento executivo nestas duas estratégias avaliativas. Foram encontradas algumas correlações entre Pfister e WCST, especialmente nas seguintes variáveis do Teste de Pfister: modos de execução e de colocação, aspecto formal, frequência e síndrome cromáticas. Os resultados foram interpretados à luz de pressupostos trazidos pela literatura científica da área, procurando-se contemplar peculiaridades do contexto sócio-cultural brasileiro na busca de compreensão sobre a dinâmica psíquica das vivências afetivas e do funcionamento executivo na velhice. Pode-se concluir pela preservação da dinâmica afetiva dos idosos avaliados, bem como por especificidades em seu padrão de funcionamento executivo, caracterizando peculiaridades de desempenho destes indivíduos nas técnicas psicológicas utilizadas, justificando a elaboração de seus atuais padrões normativos.BASTOS-FORMIGHIERI, M. S. Affectivity and executive functions in elderly: estudo normativo com Wisconsin Card Sorting Test e Pfister. 2007. 143 f. Dissertação (Mestrado). Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2007. The development of psychological assessment has been greatly stimulated in Brazil in view of practical requirements and of the current guidelines of the Federal Council of Psychology, with a search for appropriate technical parameters for the Brazilian population. In parallel, the significant increase in the number of elderly individuals in the world and also in Brazil has justified scientific investments aiming at the investigation of the psychological characteristics of aging, often based on the resources of psychological assessment as a strategy of informative access. Within this reality, the objective of the present study was to develop normative standards regarding the performance of elderly persons in the Pfister Color Pyramid Test and in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), also in order to determine the characteristics of affectivity and of executive functions during old age. The study was conducted on 100 volunteers of both sexes aged 60 to 75 years, in good general condition and free of severe physical and psychic impairment. The subjects were first submitted to medical screening and to an initial interview about their life history. The psychological instruments were applied individually according to their respective technical standards and in the following sequence: interview, Pfister Test and WCST, following the ethical principles related to these processes of psychological evaluation. The results were structured in such a way as to characterize the performance patterns (norms) of the elderly subjects evaluated and to determine cognitive and affective aspects of the aging process by means of currently used techniques of psychological evaluation. The possible influence of the sex variable on the results of the psychological techniques applied was also determined and the data were compared to the norms for adults in the case of the Pfister Test and to the norms for North American elderly subjects in the case of the WCST, which are available thus far for these techniques, that are not specific for the Brazilian elderly population. Data were analyzed statistically by parametric and non-parametric tests, as appropriate, with the level of significance set at < 0.05. Finally a possible relationship between the technical indicators of the Pfister test and the results of the WCST for this elderly population was studied, especially regarding the following variables of the Pfister Test: modes of execution and placement, formal aspect, frequency, and chromatic syndrome. The results were interpreted in the light of the assumptions proposed by the scientific literature in the area, with an attempt to contemplate the peculiarities of the Brazilian sociocultural context in order to understand the psychic dynamics of affective experience and of executive functioning in old age. We may conclude that the affective dynamics of the elderly persons evaluated is preserved and that their pattern of executive functioning has specific characteristics, characterizing peculiarities of the performance of these idnividuals in the psychological techniques used, justifying the elaboration of their current normative standards.

Ho, Emilie. "Can We Really Claim ‘Full Responsibility’? The Problem With Normative Luck Egalitarianism in a Luck-Pervasive World." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/824.
Full textAbstract:
In the last four decades, luck egalitarianism has emerged as a hotly debated theory of distributive justice. The tenet, in its most normative sense, calls for distribution or assistance when circumstances of disadvantage arise from bad luck that is independent of human influence. Disadvantages that can be traced back to individual choice and responsibility, on the other hand, are left for the sufferer to bear. In this paper, I argue that luck egalitarianism should be abandoned as a standard for determining whether a disadvantage should be addressed, because the assumption that there are instances of disadvantage completely attributable to individual choice is flawed. Brute luck, or luck that emerges from beyond human control, influences most human outcomes, making it difficult to confidently attribute outcomes to option luck, or luck that stems from human choice.

Includes bibliographical referencesThe purpose of this study was to understand the life-world of transsexual women in relation to their awareness of their unique health needs as a direct result of sexual realignment treatment, and their health-seeking behaviours, practices and experiences of responses in negotiating health care for their transgender-related health needs in the healthcare system. The overarching question asked in this research was: What are the lived experiences, and meaning of these experiences, for transsexual women during the sexual-realignment process when negotiating health care for their transgender-related healthcare needs in the healthcare system? Participants in this study were selected through purposive and snowball sampling. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten participants selected from urban, peri-urban, and rural areas of the Western Cape. Theoretical saturation was reached with the tenth participant, and further selection of participants was ceased. The data was viewed through a trans-inclusive feminist lens with a concurrent collection and analysis process as guided by the steps of analysis of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), as developed by Smith (2010). IPA is a modern qualitative approach to research inquiry which harnesses the strengths of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and ideography. The analysed data were illustrated in a master theme graphic which contained one superordinate theme, two subordinate themes and various categories. The superordinate theme of this study was named "Towards organic Womanhood", while the two subordinate themes were coined "Embracing Womanhood", and "Facing the Giant in order to Become". The subordinate theme Embracing Womanhood gives insight into aspects of transsexual women's journey of moving towards a state of organic womanhood, whereas the subordinate theme Facing the Giant in order to Become maps out powers in the healthcare system which prevent transsexual women from having a smooth transition journey. This study illustrates that transsexual women have a need to align their bodies with their gender identities, but even though South Africa has legislation which protects the health and rights of transsexual women, transsexual women find it challenging to make the transition. Health practitioners are ill-equipped to manage transsexual women, the care which they receive in the government-funded healthcare system is of a poor standard, and they are4subjected to extremely long waiting periods to have access to surgical sexual realignment services. Recommendations are made for the healthcare system, policy makers and educational institutions in order to stimulate the South African healthcare system to become inclusive and affirming to the needs of transsexual women. Furthermore, recommendations for researchers are made to stimulate the debate around transsexual health care in the scientific literature.

Thesis (M.Phil.)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this research is to identify the various levels of health care units, their relationships and the problems hindering an effective referral system. To achieve this goal, use is made of a case study of the West Rand area in Gauteng. The standpoint is that, to achieve Primary Health for all South Africans referral systems within health care units and levels must be reciprocal. It is argued that for Primary Health Care to be successful, it must satisfy the goal of affordability appropriateness and accessibility. Results from the research revealed that four health care levels, namely traditional healers, health NGOs, Clinics, and Hospitals. Though there is some degree of referral in the study area, it was observed that referrals in the study area were not reciprocal. Amongst the major problems identified as hindering an effective referral system in the study area, include lack of cooperation between health institutions, poor health infrastructure and communication network as well as lack of other health paraphernalia. The research also found that government policy towards some of the health institutions (Traditional healers) contributes to the inefficiency of proper referrals in the study area.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die oogmerk van hierdie ondersoek is om die verskillende vlakke van gesondheidsorgeenhede, hulonderlinge verbande en die probleme wat doeltreffende verwysings in die wiele ry, te identifiseer. Dit word gedoen aan die hand van 'n gevallestudie van die Wes-Randarea in Gauteng. Die uitgangspunt is dat doeltreffende Primêre Gesondheid vir alle Suid- Afrikaners afhang van resiprokale verwysingsisteme tussen gesondheidsorgeenhede en -vlakke. Suksesvolle Primêre Gesondheidsorg vereis bekostigbaarheid, toepaslikheid en toeganklikheid. Die ondersoek het vier gesondheidsorgvlakke aan die lig gebring: tradisionele genesers, gesondheids-nie-regerings-organisasies, klinieke en hospitale. Hoewel daar 'n mate van onderfinge verwysing in die studie-area bestaan, was dit nie wederkerig nie. Onder die vernaamste struikelblokke vir 'n doeltreffende verwysingsisteem tel swak samewerking tussen gesondheidsinstellings, gebrekkige gesondheidsinfrastruktuur en kommunikasienetwerk, en 'n skaarste aan ander gesondheidsmiddelle. Die ondersoek het ook bevind dat regeringsbeleid aangaande sommige van die gesondheidsinstellings (tradisionele genesers) bydra tot die ondoeltreffendheid van verwysings in die studie-area.

The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the factors associated with students’ intentions to not possess and use a credit card. This dissertation focused on exploring a sample of undergraduate college students who do not possess a credit card. There is little known research on this group of students. The dissertation was directed by the following over-arching research question: The goal of this study was to explore college students’ beliefs about not possessing a credit card using the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The research questions for this dissertation were: (a) How is personality (i.e., individual background factor) of undergraduate college students associated with their behavioral, normative, and control beliefs to not possess a credit card, (b) How are education level, age, gender, income level, religiosity, marital status, and ethnicity (i.e., social background factors) of undergraduate college students associated with their behavioral, normative, and control beliefs to not possess a credit card, and (c) How is financial knowledge (i.e., information background factor) of undergraduate college students associated with their behavioral, normative, and control beliefs to not possess a credit card. This study collected primary data. A pilot study was conducted to set the stage for the data collection of the current study. The data analysis methodology for this study consisted of the following four methods: (a) Factor Analysis, (b) Correlation Analysis, (c) MANOVA, and (d) Discriminant Function Analysis. Factor analysis identified questions were used to develop scales to measure the dependent variables. Strong reliability estimates were obtained, ranging from .84 to .94. The MANOVA test identified seven hypotheses with statistically significant results < .05. Control beliefs were significantly associated with personality. The five personality types, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness, were all found to be significantly associated with either behavioral beliefs, control beliefs, or injunctive normative beliefs. Extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were all found to be associated with control beliefs. While agreeableness was also associated with injunctive normative beliefs, openness was found to be associated with behavioral beliefs. Financial knowledge was found to be associated with control beliefs. Discriminant function analysis was performed as a confirmatory test of the results from the MANOVA test, and supported the results of the MANOVA for six of the hypotheses.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche explore la persistance de la contrainte au sein d'une psychiatrie qui a aujourd'hui profondément évolué : soins majoritairement libres et extra-hospitaliers, réduction fortes des durées de séjour. Elle l'étudie à travers deux dimensions : les pratiques coercitives elles-mêmes, resituées dans l'ensemble des interventions des professionnels, et les dispositifs institutionnels, légaux, architecturaux, spatiaux, qui cristallisent un certain arbitrage entre les tensions normatives entre soin, sécurité et liberté - dispositifs dans lesquels ces pratiques prennent place, qui les informent et qu'elles s'approprient voire transforment au sein de nouveaux équilibres. L'exercice de la contrainte n'a cessé d'être au cœur des accusations portées contre la psychiatrie, parfois par les professionnels eux-mêmes : accusation d'arbitraire, d'abus, de violence. Il est parallèlement défendu au nom de la protection des personnes elles-mêmes. L'enquête suit les variations critiques auxquelles les différentes pratiques sont inégalement exposées et les formes de régulations dont celles-ci font l'objet. Pour ce faire, cette recherche s'appuie sur (1) une analyse des dispositifs légaux et réglementaires encadrant les pratiques de contrainte et leur articulation avec l'organisation spatiale des soins de 1838 à 2013, (2) une enquête ethnographique en différents lieux de prise en charge, principalement au sein d'un secteur (service d'hospitalisation, 6 mois, centre d'accueil et de crise, 3 mois), complétée par des observations en contrepoint (hospitalisation et urgences psychiatriques, 2 mois), et (3) des entretiens avec les professionnels des services (n=61)This research explores the use of coercion by psychiatry, which has been deeply evolving since asylum: care is today mainly free and ambulatory, durations of stay have been strongly reduced. This issue is approached through two dimensions: first coercive practices themselves, put in perspective among the interventions of trie professionals, second, the institutional, legal, architectural, spatial dispositifs [apparatus, assemblage], which crystallize a certain arbitration among normative tensions between care/cure, security and freedom. The use of coercion has always been at the core of the charges of arbitrary, abuse, violence, carried against psychiatry, sometimes by the professionals themselves. It is nevertheless advocated in the name of the protection of the people coerced themselves. The inquiry follows how different practices are unequally exposed to the critics and the variation of the forms of their regulations. In order to do so, this research is based on (1) an analysis of the legal and regulatory apparatuses framing the practices of constraint and their binds to the spatial organization of psychiatric care from 1838 to 2013, (2) an ethnographic investigation in various psychiatric care units mainly within a « psychiatric sector » (hospitalization unit, 6 months, crisis centre, 3 months), supplemented by other observations (hospitalization and emergency units, 2 months), and (3) interviews with professionals of the units (n=61)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis acknowledges the increasingly important issue of global freshwater scarcity. It focuses on water consumption in private households and examines whether social nudging, specifically the focus theory of normative conduct, can serve as a tool to reduce it. This is examined through action research conducted on the island of Gotland, Sweden, in cooperation with the local major housing company GotlandsHem. Despite some limitations, the findings show with a significance of 0.033 that, on average, almost 50 litres of water less were used weekly by each household after two social nudging interventions. This corresponds to 7,472.99 litres for all 151 nudged households. The findings show that the research design represents a way for housing companies to use the focus theory of normative conduct from the field of social nudging to reduce their tenants’ water consumption.

Full textAbstract:
Le patient acteur dans la prise en charge du cancer: attentes normatives et travail du malade. Dans un contexte d’humanisation des soins valorisant la figure de l’individu acteur de sa santé, la présente thèse interroge les positionnements des malades touchés par le cancer et des accompagnants dans la prise en charge et le vécu de cette pathologie (professionnels soignants et proches) sur ce « devenir acteur » de la maladie. Elle met en évidence le travail de gestion de la maladie réalisé par les individus touchés, en analysant notamment comment ils composent avec les dimensions incertaines de l’expérience du cancer. Elle montre également que les considérations éthiques de « droit à l’information », de patient « associé aux décisions » ou encore « au cœur de la prise en charge » et la politique de lutte contre le cancer axée sur une « éducation sanitaire » contribuent à faire émerger des attentes normatives qui pèsent sur les malades. Au travers de quatre temps de la maladie – la découverte et l’annonce du cancer, la période des traitements, le vécu de la rémission et les trajectoires de fin de vie -, elle interroge plus spécifiquement les écarts entre les rôles attendus ou prescrits et les rôles effectivement endossés, les stratégies de coopération, de négociation ou de résistance entre les acteurs et les éléments qui fondent les prises de décision des malades et leur engagement dans les actions qu’ils mènent pour faire face au cancer au quotidien. Le questionnement sous-jacent porte ainsi sur les actions et stratégies entreprises par les acteurs touchés pour tenter de maitriser une trajectoire de maladie marquée par l’incertitude et sur la manière dont ces dernières s’intègrent – ou non – dans les attentes portées sur « l’individu acteur de sa santé et de sa maladie »The patient actor in the management of cancer : normative expectations and patient workIn the context of a humanisation of care that enhances the figure of the individual as an actor in his or her health, this thesis questions the positioning of patients affected by cancer and their caregivers and close relatives in the care and experience of this pathology from the point of view of their "becoming actor". It highlights the disease management work done by the affected individuals, notably by analyzing how they deal with the uncertain dimensions of the experience of cancer. It also shows how the ethical considerations of the "right to information", the patient "associated with decisions" or even "at the heart of care" and the fight against cancer policy centered on "health education" contribute to bring to the foreground normative expectations that weigh on the sick. Through four stages of the disease - the discovery and announcement of cancer, the treatment period, the experience of remission and end-of-life trajectories - it more specifically examines the differences between the expected and prescribed roles and the roles effectively endorsed, the strategies of cooperation, negotiation or resistance between the actors and the elements that underpin the decision-making of the patients and their commitment to the actions they take to face cancer on a daily basis. The underlying questioning thus focuses on the actions and strategies undertaken by the actors affected in an attempt to control a trajectory of illness marked by uncertainty and how the latter integrate - or not the expectations of " the individual actor of his health and his disease "

Full textAbstract:
Older people should have a life with a sense of value and should feel confident. These ethical values, which are expressed in normative ethics, are expected to prevail in empirical ethics. Central components of nursing are the ethical issues of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and the principles of justice. The general aim of this thesis is to identify and describe the ethical values that are apparent in the caring encounter and their influence on the people involved. This is done from the perspective of the older person in study (I), next of kin in study (II) and nurses in study (III). In study (IV) the aim was to synthesize the concepts from empirical studies (I- III) and analyze, compare and interrelate them with normative ethics. Studies (I, III) were empirical observational studies including follow-up interviews. Twenty-two older people participated voluntarily in study (I), and in study (III) 20 nurses participated voluntarily. In study (II) fourteen next of kin were interviewed. In studies (I- III) constant comparative analysis, the core foundation of grounded theory, was used. Five concepts were used in the analysis in study (IV); three from the grounded theory studies (I- III) and two from the theoretical framework on normative ethics i.e. the ICN code and SFS law. Five categories; being addressed, receiving respect, desiring to participate, increasing self-determination and gaining self-confidence formed the basis for the core category ‚Approaching‛ in study (I). ‘Approaching’ indicates the ethical values that guide nurses in their caring encounters with older people. These ethical values are noted by the older people and are greatly appreciated by them, and also lead to improved quality of care. Four categories were identified in study (II): Receiving, showing respect, facilitating participation and showing professionalism. These categories formed the basis of the core category ‚Being amenable‛, a concept identified in the next of kin’s description of the ethical values that they and the older patients perceive in the caring encounter. In study (III), three categories were identified: showing consideration, connecting, and caring for. These categories formed the basis of the core category ‚Corroborating‛. Corroborating deals with support and interaction. Empirical ethics and normative ethics are intertwined, according to the findings of this study (IV). Normative ethics influence the nurse’s practical performance and could have a greater influence in supporting nurses as professionals. Criteria of good ethical care according to this thesis are: showing respect, invitation to participation, allowing self-determination, and providing safe and secure care. These criteria are elements of the concept of being professional. Professionalism of nurses is shown by: the approach nurses adapt to the performance of their duties, and their competence and knowledge, but also how they apply laws and professional codes

Resumo: A grande crise global do capitalismo, iniciada nos anos 1970, teve repercussões importantes, tanto na reorganização dos processos produtivos quanto na reorganização dos Estados Nacionais, sob a égide ideológica neoliberal. No tocante aos processos produtivos, tiveram lugar variados processos de reengenharia da gestão do trabalho que são conjuntamente denominados por Lima (1996) como Novas Políticas de Recursos Humanos (NPRH). Este processo teve lugar no Brasil nos anos 1990, sendo reconhecido nesta pesquisa como Contra-Reforma do Estado brasileiro. Partindo da premissa de que um dos efeitos deste avanço neoliberal consiste da progressiva incorporação dos conceitos e diretrizes das Novas Políticas de Recursos Humanos no âmbito do serviço público, materializada na implantação de programas que introduzem arranjos e dispositivos da lógica empresarial na gestão do trabalho dos servidores públicos, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa de tipo documental com o objetivo de compreender a utilização da Avaliação do Desempenho do Trabalhador como estratégia gerencial na Atenção Básica à Saúde. Recortou-se, como corpus empírico, a adoção de dois programas governamentais: em nível nacional, o Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica, e em nível municipal, o Programa de Avaliação Periódica do Desempenho dos servidores públicos municipais de Campinas. Utilizou-se metodologia inspirada na Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011), procedendo-se um estudo descritivo seguido de uma análise por categorização. Os documentos oficiais foram analisados destacandos-se três grupos de categorias de análise, relacionados a (1) os parâmetros; (2) o modo de condução; e (3) o sistema de recompensas. Com diferentes nuances, concluímos que ambos os Programas possuem, em seus discursos normativos, elementos de aproximação com as NPRH, sendo a utilização da Avaliação do Desempenho do Trabalhador como instrumento gerencial semelhante ao uso que é feito no setor privado. Tal utilização pode ser considerada como uma forma de privatização da gestão do trabalho dos servidores públicos, o que consideramos um indicativo de avanço da hegemonia neoliberal no Estado e na sociedade brasileira
Abstract: The great global crisis of capitalism, started in the 1970s, had important repercussions, both in the reorganization of production processes and in National States, under the neoliberal ideological aegis. Concerning to the production processes, several reengineering processes of the work management took place, that are jointly referred by Lima (1996) as New Policies of Human Resources (NPRH). This process took place in Brazil in the 1990s, being recognized on this research as the Counter-Reformation of the Brazilian State. Assuming that one of the effects of this neoliberal progress is the gradual incorporation of the concepts and guidelines of the New Policies of Human Resources within the public service, substantiated on the implementation of programs that introduce arrangements and devices from business logic on managing the work of civil servants, a documentary type of qualitative research was carried out, in order to understand the use of the Employee Performance Appraisal as a management strategy in Primary Health Care. It was stressed, as empirical corpus, the adoption of two governmental programs: on the national level, the National Program of Improvement of the Primary Care¿s Access and Quality (PMAQ-AB), and on the municipal level, the Program of Periodic Performance Evaluation of municipal servants of Campinas. A methodology inspired on the Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2011) was used, carrying out a descriptive study followed by an analysis by categorization. Official documents were analyzed with emphasis on three groups of analysis¿ categories, related to (1) the parameters; (2) the driving mode, and; (3) the reward system. With different nuances, we conclude that both Programs have, in their normative discourses, elements of approach with the NPRH, being the use of Employee Performance Appraisal as management instrument similar to the use that is made on the private sector. Such use can be considered as a privatization way of the work management of the public servants, what we consider an advancement indicative of neoliberal hegemony in the State and Brazilian society

Full textAbstract:
Comment les acteurs qui évoluent dans le champ commun entre droit et psychiatrie choisissent-ils d’interner ou de soigner un patient contre son gré? Appliquent-ils simplement les dispositions légales supposées régir les interventions du champ, ou bien se réfèrent-ils à d’autres formes de normativité? Plus globalement, comment ces acteurs s’approprient-ils les normes et en quoi le choix normatif est-il lié au rôle des individus dans le lien social? Voici, très brièvement exposées, les questions auxquelles nous nous intéresserons dans cette thèse.
Cette thèse vise deux objectifs distincts, mais complémentaires. Le premier, d’ordre théorique, s’attache à la compréhension sociologique du phénomène de pluralisme normatif tel qu’il se déploie dans le lien social, et plus particulièrement celle du rôle des individus dans la dynamique normative. Le second vise à mettre en perspective pluralisme normatif et droits de la personne dans le contexte particulier de la psychiatrie. À ce titre, nous avons choisi d’étudier le traitement juridique, clinique et social de l’internement et des soins psychiatrique. En effet, cet objet permet de mettre en évidence diverses tensions normatives latentes et constitue un support privilégié à la théorisation des rapports normatifs.
Nous étudions d’abord, d’un point de vue épistémologique, les paradigmes juridique et sociologique de la régulation sociale et de l’internormativité. Nous y explorons différentes conceptions du droit et de la normativité, et, par extension, la mise en forme des rapports humains et celle de la société. Dans un premier temps, nous concluons de cette analyse que les différentes formes de normativités s’agencent de manière complexe et changeante, sans qu’aucune hiérarchie n’apparaisse toujours clairement. Dans un second temps, on y constate que les individus influencent l’activation de la normativité, qu’elle soit juridique ou non.
La pluralité des normes et du sens qu’elles véhiculent, confronte naturellement l’individu au choix entre plusieurs standards. Pour mieux comprendre la place effective de l’individu dans la dynamique normative, en tant que détenteur d’une certaine marge de liberté, nous optons pour un point de vue subjectiviste et constructiviste. Dans cette perspective, l’interprétation des normes et le sens qu’elles portent sont liés à la conception que l’individu se fait du sens de son action et de son propre rôle dans le rapport interpersonnel et social.
C’est dans cette perspective que nous proposons le Modèle de pluralisme normatif appliqué, largement inspiré des approches sociologiques étudiées, et plus précisément du concept de « droit vivant ». À travers ce modèle, le pluralisme normatif est conceptualisé comme un ensemble de normes issues de diverses sources, dont les substances peuvent s’opposer, et qui s’imposent avec une force variable. En outre, la qualification du discours psychiatrique en tant que norme comportementale de la normalité exemplifie des clivages entre différentes perspectives sur le lien social, et notamment sur les patients psychiatriques. Dans le cadre du modèle proposé, chaque norme est jumelée à une rationalité de nature cognitive ou axiologique, selon la nature du rapport à l’autre. L’hypothèse avancée est à l’effet que la marge de liberté de l’acteur est corollaire à la rigidité du cadre juridique: plus le droit est précis moins l’individu aura recours à d’autres formes de normativité.
Nous avons retenu, aux fins de vérification de notre hypothèse, deux situations distinctes au regard de la structure du cadre juridique, mais présentant des enjeux éthiques et juridiques semblables: l’hospitalisation et les soins psychiatriques imposés contre la volonté des patients, soit la garde en établissement et l’autorisation judiciaire de soins (art. 30 et 16 C.c.Q.).
La recherche empirique menée auprès de juges et de psychiatres a pour but de cartographier le rapport complexe entre l’acteur étudié (le sens qu’il attribue à son action, la conception qu’il a de son rôle dans le lien social) et les normes. Les données révèlent que deux types de normes sont en réalité complémentaires: il s’agit des propositions normatives et factuelles. Les premières sont associées au rôle dans lequel l’individu se projette alors que les secondes servent à la mise en œuvre pratique de ce rôle. De même, la prégnance d’un discours sur la normalité démontre la survivance d’une perspective paternaliste et morale issue de la psychiatrie, qui est difficilement conciliable avec une approche fondée sur le respect des droits de la personne. Finalement, nous concluons que le choix entre différents types de normes est influencé par la conception que chacun se fait de la société dans laquelle il vit et plus précisément de la place qu’il y tient.
La recherche empirique nous autorise à poser des questions sous-jacentes à la véritable nature de l’intervention judiciaire et psychiatrique en matière de garde en établissement et d’autorisation de soins, et aux fondements paradigmatiques et ontologiques du droit en ces matières.How do those working in the intersection between law and psychiatry make decisions to confine or treat patients against their will? Do they simply apply the legal provisions that are supposed to regulate such actions, or do they refer to other forms of normativity? More globally, how do such stakeholders adopt norms and how is the choice of norms related to individuals’ roles in the social fabric? These are, very briefly, the issues explored in this thesis. This thesis has two distinct, but complementary, objectives. The first is theoretical, and concerns the sociological understanding of the phenomenon of normative pluralism as it operates in the social fabric and more specifically of individuals’ roles in normative dynamics. The second objective is to place normative pluralism and human rights into perspective in the special context of psychiatry. For this, we have chosen to study legal, clinical and social approaches to confining patients and to psychiatric care. This brings to light various latent normative tensions, which proves useful when drawing up theories about normative relations. We begin by doing an epistemological analysis of the legal and sociological paradigms of social regulation and internormativity. In this section, we explore different conceptions of law and normativity and, by extension, the shaping of human and social relations. Our first conclusion from this analysis is that the different forms of normativity interweave in complex, changing ways and that no clear hierarchy always emerges. Our second conclusion is that individuals influence the application of norms, whether they are legal or not. The plurality of norms and of the meanings that they convey naturally confronts individuals with choices among different standards. In order to gain a better understanding of individuals’ real roles in normative dynamics, since individuals have a certain degree of freedom, we have taken a subjectivist, constructivist point of view. From this perspective, interpretations of norms and the meanings they convey are related to individuals’ conceptions of the meaning of their actions and roles in interpersonal and social relations. It is from this perspective that we propose the applied normative pluralism model, which is inspired largely by the sociological approaches we have studied and more specifically by the concept of “living law.” Using this model, we conceptualize normative pluralism as a set of norms flowing from various sources that may be in substantial contradiction and have different weights. Indeed, describing psychiatric discourse as a behavioural norm of normality is a perfect example of the cleavage between different perspectives on social ties, especially with respect to psychiatric patients. In the proposed model, each norm is twinned with cognitive or axiological rationality, depending on the nature of the relationship to the Other. Our hypothesis is that the actor’s degree of freedom correlates with the rigidity of the legal framework: the more specific the law is, the less the individual will have recourse to other forms of normativity. In order to verify our hypothesis, we have used two distinct situations that are regulated by law in different ways but that have similar ethical and legal stakes: non-consensual hospitalization and psychiatric care, in other words, confinement to an institution and court authorization of care (Québec Civil Code, articles 30 and 16). Our empirical research on judges and psychiatrists has been designed to map the complex relationships between those studied (the meanings they give to their actions, their conceptions of their roles in the social fabric) and norms. The findings show that two types of norms are in fact complementary: normative and factual propositions. The former are associated with the role that the individual thinks he or she has, while the latter are used in practical implementation of that role. Similarly, the weight of a discourse on normality demonstrates the survival of a paternalist moral perspective with its roots in psychiatry. This is difficult to reconcile with an approach based on human rights. Finally, we conclude that the choice between different types of norms is influenced by the conception that each individual has of the society in which he or she lives, and more specifically of his or her role in that society. Our empirical research raises questions about what is underlying the real nature of legal and psychiatric intervention with respect to confining patients to institutions and authorizing care, and about the pragmatic and ontological foundations of law in these areas.

Fraisse, Wolfgang. "La responsabilité sociale des entreprises : une forme de régulation des relations de travail ?" Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSE2078.
Full textAbstract:
La responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE), définie comme l’intégration volontaire des préoccupations sociales et écologiques à l’activité commerciale des entreprises et dans leurs relations avec leurs parties prenantes, est devenue le lieu d’une série d’actes et de normes de nature et aux effets divers. Incitées à développer leurs démarches sociales responsables, les entreprises se sont dotées progressivement d’instruments volontaires. Or, comme tout fait social, ces derniers sont susceptibles de donner lieu à interprétation juridique d’autant plus que les sujets sur lesquels ils portent peuvent faire l’objet d’obligations posées par la réglementation étatique. En ce sens, les actes volontaires de RSE peuvent par leur formulation recommandatoire, proclamatoire ou déclaratoire opérer un renvoi au droit positif et constituer ainsi une base informationnelle voire pédagogique de la règle de droit offrant par-là un cadre pour le suivi d’une conduite juste et raisonnée. D’autres instruments peuvent également prescrire des comportements et ainsi constituer des modes de régulation des comportements. De plus, l’intensification de la force normative de ces instruments dits volontaires s’accompagne de leviers juridiques tant contraignants qu’incitatifs favorables au développement de la RSE. Le cadre national contribue de la sorte à façonner les initiatives des entreprises en cette matière. Ce maillage juridique fait de la RSE un espace de diverses formes de régulation. D’acte d’autorégulation lorsque les règles posées sont le résultat d’une volonté unilatérale, l’instrument peut devenir un mode de mise en œuvre du droit lorsqu’il s’inscrit dans le cadre d’obligations légales. Dans cette nouvelle dynamique, il ne faut pas occulter les potentialités juridiques offertes par le droit qui au fil des décisions de justice et analyses permet de concevoir la RSE comme un standard de conduite générateur de formes de régulation et de responsabilités au sein du rapport d’emploiThe corporate social responsibility (CSR) of major companies, defined as the voluntary integration of social and environmental concerns in both business itself and in the relationships with stakeholders, has become the site of a series of acts and standards of diverse nature and effects. Encouraged to develop social initiatives, firms have experimented with several initiatives to promote the image of social responsibility. However, with any endeavour, these are likely to demand legal assessment, especially as the subjects to which they relate are subject to state regulation. Voluntary acts of CSR can, by their recommandatory, proclamatory or declaratory formulation, refer to hard law and thus constitute an educational or informational basis of the rule of law, offering a framework for monitoring fair and rational conduct. Other standards can also prescribe behaviours and act as a form of control. Moreover, the intensification of the normative force of those voluntary measures involves legal implications, both binding and inspiring CSR development. The national framework helps to shape the initiatives in this area. This legal mesh makes the CSR a space of varying regulation, including self-regulation as a result of unilateral will in light of legal obligations. In this new dynamic, one must not overshadow the legal freedom granted by the law, which, over judgment and analysis facilitates the conception of CSR as a standard of conduct, generating regulation forms and responsibilities within the employment report

In this thesis, I would like to discuss the ethics of care in view of Virginia Held. Held claims that we should not see the ethics of care as a naturalized ethic. Care is not reducible to the behavior that has evolved and that can be adequately captured in empirical descriptions, and that is the key phrase in my thesis. I try to find out some normative factors of Held’s ethics of care. Held thinks that although to be caring is no doubt a virtue, the ethics of care is not simply a kind of virtue ethics. The ethics of care concerns itself especially with caring relations. Caring relations have primary value. Starting with a normative perspective, Held points out that the foundations of the ethics care are trust and partialities. Follow Held’s ideas, I further argue that love is constructive factor of caring relations. , Marilyn Friedman calls attention to when partiality is or is not morally valuable. She thinks the quality of a particular relationship is important in determining the moral worth of any partiality which is necessary for sustaining that relationship. When relationships cause harm or are based on such wrongful relations, we should not be partial toward them. Held agrees to Friedman’s idea.

This thesis concerns the topic of normative solidarity in informal elderly care. The main aim is to find the normative premises of informal elderly care, their specific examples and to prepare a possible way of including normative solidarity into the model of solidarity premises of informal elderly care. The results are based on an analysis of in-depth interviews. Firstly, specific examples of the normative solidarity concepts are presented. Secondly, the possible option of how to include normative solidarity in the model is proposed, including eight main points that are mainly about a potential carer's previous experiences and her/his opinions about care. The quantitative research shall either prove this or show that it was specific to respondents of this particular research only.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to explore, problematize and critique the violence of norms—normative violence, especially gender norms and heteronormativity-- in contemporary political life. It focuses on the interaction and engagement between norms and the body, and demonstrates that normative violence manifests itself in a twofold way: norms not only regulate, normalize and manage bodies that are already intelligible into reified forms, but also through their exclusionary logic produce unintelligible bodies that are unlivable.
Situated within contemporary feminist and queer movements, this thesis bridges between aporias and problems emergent from them and critical readings of Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. This thesis identifies and indicates normative violence and erasures inherited in the popular rhetoric of the movements and diverse theoretical accounts of the body. Finally, the argument is made that feminist and queer readings of Foucault and Merleau-Ponty provide possibilities for undoing normative violence by resignifying norms temporally and performatively via collective action.Graduate

It is an important issue for medical professionals to provide a high-quality long-term care service to satisfy disabled people and their family members. The purpose of this study were, firstly, to understand the general needs for long-term care service among community-dwelling disabled, and, secondly, to explore the predicting factors of the long-term care needs for providing a further assessment and service. This study was a cross-sectional correlation design. The subjects were selected from a long-term care service center in Taipei city, from January to June, in 2006. In total, 513 subjects were recruited in this study. Statistical software SPSS12.0 was used to analyze data. The results demonstrated: 1.The five most important needs of long-term care service among the community-dwelling disabled were home-care physical therapy; assistant instrument and house environment improvement; home care; home-care nutrition therapy; and home-care nursing. 2. There was a high consistency between normative needs and felt needs among the community-dwelling disabled. The lowest consistency service item was home-care doctor out-clinic-service. 2. The significant predicting factors for different kind of long-term care needs were: (1) The self-perceived health status by caregivers was a major predicting factor of the need for home-care doctor out-clinic-service (2) The four predicting factors of the need for home-care nursing were: whether or not the family members had ever used long-term care service, the number of the chronic disease among subjects, the activity of daily living, and the time period which caregivers have involved. (3) The predicting factors of the need for home-care physical therapy included: educational attainment among subjects, the activity of daily living and the instrumental activity of daily living, time period which caregivers have involved, the working time, and whether or not the family members had foreign care assistants to help daily caring work. (4) The age of subjects, gender, educational attainment, and cognitive function were four significant factors in predicting the need for home-care occupational therapy service. (5) The four major predicting factors of the need for home-care nutrition therapy were: whether or not the family members had ever used long-term care service, the relationship between caregivers and subjects, whether or not the family members had care assistants to help daily caring work, and family support. (6) The self-perceived health status by caregivers and whether or not the family members had care assistants to help daily caring work were two significant predicting factors of the need for home care service. (7) Whether or not the family members had care assistants to help daily caring work was the only one factor in predicting the need for respite care service. (8) The two predicting factors of the need for health center service were the age of the caregivers, and family support. (9) The number of the chronic disease among subjects, the activity of daily living, and family support were three major predicting factors of the need for assistant instrument and house environment improvement. In order to establish an objective and reliable assessment mechanism, this study suggests that firstly, to provide a training course to enhance assessment ability for all the case managers (care managers) and another professional members; secondly, to operate an appropriate regulation for managing the qualification of case managers (care managers).

Johannesburg, May 2017Spiraling health care costs have posed a threat to access to health care for scheme members, as more has to be done with even less. Managed care programmes were introduced to control the health care costs by reducing medical doctors autonomy. My aim was to ascertain the extent to which the managed care processes impede medical doctors’ autonomy. Principled conditions were identified where the limitation of doctors’ autonomy as a result of managed care could be morally justified which include where implementation would result in a just distribution of resources and a limitation of medically futile treatment. However principled conditions where these managed care tools would not ethically be justified included where they would result in adverse patient outcomes, where they result in a loss of medical doctors morale or where they result in reduced trust in the patient doctor relationship.

A research report submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of MSc (Med) in Bioethics and Health Law, Steve Biko for Bioethics, University of Witwatersrand, May 2015In response to an increasing number of litigations relating to nursing care errors, negligence or acts and omissions that arise mostly due to unprofessional or unethical behaviour by nurse practitioners, compounded by the growing awareness of patient’s rights, nurse practitioners as such need an intervention by the regulatory body, the South African Nursing Council (SANC). The argument presented in this report is regarding the obligatory role of SANC to uphold professional and ethical practice for nurses in terms of the curriculum, the scope of practice, the code of ethics, continuing professional development and by offering an appropriate workplace ethical climate. The basis of the argument is philosophical perspectives, legislation and moral theories related to ethical practice. The moral theories applied to this study are deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics and Ubuntu as an African moral theory, whereas legislation relates to rules and regulations related to nursing practice. The overall significance of the study is to enhance nursing care with specific focus on upholding ethical principles from the SANC position, that will positively impact on the improvement of health care by nurses with reference to the Nursing Act No. 33 of 2005, The Bill of Rights (Constitution of South Africa), The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Patient’s Rights Charter, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) , the South African Nursing Council Code of ethics and the National Health Act 61 of 2003.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de ce mémoire vise à exposer les méthodes d’évaluation propres aux tests génétiques. Le mémoire se penche également sur le recours grandissant, par des instances locales, aux services de génétique dispensés par des laboratoires internationaux.
Le premier article propose une recension des modèles d'évaluation propres aux tests génétiques et une analyse de leur situation sur le parcours translationnel. L'article expose les origines de ces modèles, leurs attributs et particularités distinctives et spécifie le public cible auquel ils sont destinés. L'analyse comparative des modèles d'évaluation permet de mettre en relief leurs apports et limites respectives. Les critères évaluatifs de chaque modèles sont situés le long du parcours translationnel permettant de mettre en évidence les types d'évaluations nécessaires à chacune des phases de progression des tests génétiques le long du continuum menant à leur utilisation.
Le second article adopte une tangente pragmatique et se penche sur l'utilisation effective des tests génétiques dans un centre hospitalier universitaire pédiatrique. Plus spécifiquement, l'article dresse un portrait exhaustif de l'ensemble des tests génétiques moléculaires réalisés à l’extérieur du Québec par le CHU Sainte-Justine en 2009 étant donné l’augmentation des tests disponibles internationalement comparativement à ceux offerts à l’interne. Vu la globalisation des envois d'échantillons vers des laboratoires localisés à l'étranger, l'objectif est de décrire l’état de la situation actuelle et d’identifier des cibles potentielles pour l’amélioration des processus et le développement de tests localement.
L'évaluation des tests génétiques est abordée sous une double perspective: les considérations normatives liées à l'évaluation des tests génétiques tel que préconisé par les différents modèles d'évaluation ainsi que d'un point de vue pratique dans le contexte particulier d'un centre hospitalier universitaire.The objective of this paper is to outline the genetic tests evaluation methods. The paper also examines the growing use of genetic services provided by international laboratories. The first article provides a review of the evaluation models specific to genetic testing and an analysis of their location on the translational pathway. The article outlines the origins of these models, their attributes and distinctive features and specifies the target audience to which they are intended. The comparative analysis of evaluation models highlights their strengths and limitations. The evaluative criteria of each model are located along the translational pathway to highlight the types of evaluations required at each stage of the genetic tests leading to their use. The second article focuses on the effective use of genetic testing in a pediatric university hospital centre. More specifically, the article provides a comprehensive overview of all molecular genetic tests done outside of Québec by the CHU Sainte-Justine in 2009 due to the increase of available tests internationally compared to those offered in-house. The objective is to describe the state of the current situation and identify potential targets for process improvement and development of local testing. The evaluation of genetic tests is approached from two perspectives: normative considerations related to the evaluation of genetic tests as recommended by the various evaluation models as well as a practical point of view in a university hospital.

Aging population and low fertility have changed the population structure in Taiwan. The government has fully promoted the policy of long-term care for facing the aging society coming. At the same time, the quality of institutional care services under the policy of long-term is related to the release of family labor force to the workplace productivity. It is obviously significant impact on the long-term development in our country. In different types of care services, the Veterans elderly whom need the long-term care resources most are rapidly increasing. The quality of care services of Veteran elderly provided by the Veteran home are related to social harmony, economic development and overall national defense. This study aims to explore the relationship among service innovation, normative evaluation, service quality, and customer satisfaction in the Veteran Home curing model in Taiwan. The collection of sample data was from the paper questionnaire. The research targets were Veterans who living in the north, middle and south of Veteran Home. Based on the statistical analysis of 532 effective questionnaires, the research results show as: 1. The service innovation has a positive and significant impact effect on Service quality. 2. The service innovation has a positive and significant impact on Normative evaluation. 3. The service innovation has a positive and significant impact effect on Customer satisfaction. 4. The quality of service has a positive and significant impact effect on Customer satisfaction. 5. The normative evaluation has a positive and significant impact on service quality. Other related results were screened by analysis: 1. The Veterans Home can provide pleasant considerate service. 2. The Veterans Home can display enthusiastic assistance and provide reliable and trustworthy service. 3. The Veterans living in Veterans Home are biased in the rational behavior mode. According to the above results, the following suggestions are proposed: 1. Response to the external competition, the Veteran home should keep service innovation with the differentiation strategies to meet the needs of the individual. 2. To introduce connect the social useful resources, stabilize the emotions of the caregivers, and postpone the aging. Let the Veteran home can reduce the cost of care and improve the quality of service. 3. To establish a new mode of integrated service innovation with the resources sharing thinking, as a reference to the policy of long-term and the strategy of industry development competition.
