O objetivo desta pesquisa consistiu em investigar o sofrimento psíquico do indivíduo em uma empresa em situação de crise, buscando a compreensão das questões subjetivas na construção da relação de trabalho. Foram levados em consideração o trajeto profissional dos sujeitos, gerentes e encarregados, as vivências na situação de crise, a ação desses profissionais no processo de gestão, e finalmente, a questão do sofrimento humano na relação com o trabalho. O referencial teórico fundamentou-se na Psicossociologia, com autores como Dejours (1986, 1992, 1999), Enriquez (2000, 2001), Págés (1987) e Gaulejac (2001). Em termos metodológicos, foram coletados os dados, por meio de entrevistas semi-dirigidas, com gerentes e encarregados de uma empresa de agronegócios do interior do Estado de São Paulo que passava por uma situação de crise. Os resultados apontaram três reações diferenciadas, mas ligadas entre si: uma, em que os gerentes e encarregados continuavam acreditando na possibilidade de sair da crise; a outra, que se acomodaram na situação; e ainda uma terceira, no qual os gerentes e encarregados negavam a situação e buscavam explicações para o fato. A crise provocou um enfraquecimento de todos os funcionários e pôde ser notada na forma como era conduzida a organização. No entanto, no âmbito familiar, os gerentes e encarregados conseguiram encontrar alternativas para as suas questões, abrindo novos espaços para os filhos.
The aim of this research is in investigating the psychic suffering of the individual in an enterprise in an crisis situation, looking for the comprehension of the subjective questions in the construction of the labor relationship. It was considered the professional path of the people managers and incharged employees, the experiences in the crisis situation, the action of these professionals in the management process, and finally, the question suffering in the relation with the labor. The theoretical reference was based in the psychosociology, with the authors like Dejours (1986, 1992, 1999), Enriquez (2000, 2001), Pagés (1987) and Gaulejac (2001). In methodological terms, were collected the datas, through the semi-directed interviews, with managers and incharged employees of an enterprise of agribusiness of interior of São Paulo State, that was experiencing a crisis situation. The results showed three different reactions, but connected to each other: in one, where the managers and incharged employees kept believing in the possibility of overcoming the crisis; and the other that accommodated in the situation; and still a third one in which the manager and incharged employees denied the situation and looked for explanations for the fact. The crisis provoked a weakening of all the employees and it could be noted in the form as it was run the organization. However in familiar basis the managers and incharged employees were able to find alternatives to their problems, opening new spaces to their children.

Resumo: A crise socioambiental contemporânea com suas inúmeras facetas é o cerne deste trabalho que busca através de críticas e associações aproximar a problemática de uma patologia social. Tal doença atingiria, em maior ou menor grau, a todos e, poderia ser comparada à drogadição, pois, assim como os dependentes químicos, os indivíduos do atual modelo de produção e consumo de mercadorias, se tornaram dependentes de coisas externas na busca constante de aliviar as dores existenciais. Partindo desta analogia, busca-se conhecer o universo de recuperação de Narcóticos Anônimos e possíveis contribuições de seu programa às práticas de enfrentamento da crise socioambiental, além da procura por princípios que poderiam reforçar conceitos utilizados na educação ambiental transformadora da realidade
Abstract: The contemporary socio-environmental crisis with its many facets is the core of this work to search through criticism and associations approaching the problem of a social pathology. This disease would reach, in greater or lesser degree, to all, and could be compared to drug addiction, as well as drug addicts, individuals in the current model of production and consumption of commodities, have become dependent on external things in constant search of ease the existential pain. Based on this analogy, we seek to know the universe of Narcotics Anonymous recovery and possible contributions to the practice of his program to fight the socioenvironmental crisis, and the search for principles that could enhance environmental education concepts used in the manufacturing of reality

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the cultural and social production of AIDS in popular discourse, particularly film and mass media, and offers a critical consideration of the ways in which the proliferation and dispersion of these discourses function in our current episteme to rearticulate and reinscribe traditional value systems of sexuality, familialism, and nationalism. Taking the lead of the work of Michel Foucault on the body in various historical regimes, the author here will posit a theoretical analysis of the "discursive formation" of AIDS, how the body of AIDS is put into discourse, to provide a matrix for establishing the various disciplinary and regulatory apparatuses structuring the epidemic--that is, the affirmation of certain kinds of pleasures and bodies and the strategic circumvention of other pleasures and bodies. Under what the author refers to as the cultural logic of dis-ease, the investigations that follow will be animated by the central question: Whose pleasure and/or power is served by these representations and discourses of the body of AIDS in popular cultural practices?

Abstract:

This DPhil thesis discusses how two divergent risk conceptions, a 'social view' and an 'economic view' of risk, are constructed through inter-expert risk communication. Different and sometimes contradictory concepts of risk are mobilised in regulatory practice, but the origins of these divergent risk conceptions are not extensively studied. This thesis seeks to unpack this divergence. Empirically, I analyse risk communication among experts in the European Union (EU) during the creation of two risk regulation standards. The two case studies, one related to the development of the two-degree target of EU climate policies (the climate case) and the other about the negotiation of the excessive deficit criteria of the Maastricht Treaty (the euro case), can shed light on the relations between risk conceptions and inter-expert risk communication. I argue that through risk communication, an initial 'view' of risk can be entrenched and developed into a paradigmatic 'risk conception'. My analysis uses historical and sociological institutionalism, by focusing on path dependence of risk communication and social construction risk conceptions among EU experts. Through the two case studies, I identify four analytical dimensions of inter-expert risk communication: networks (the institutional setting and relationships between different experts), cultures (the mentalities of experts in relation to discussing risks), dynamics (the actual processes of transmitting and receiving risk messages) and strategies (the rationales supporting the decisions of risk regulation standards). My thematic analysis reveals four key distinct 'features' of social/economic views of risk: expertise (the types of knowledge mobilised), normality (characterising risk as either 'special' or 'routine'), probability (considering risk as either uncertain or calculable) and impact (seeing risk as either negative or positive). I argue that these four features can help explain the construction of risk conceptions, and more broadly, provide an analytical framework for studying how views of risk evolve and interact over time.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: According to South African annual statistics, stillbirth is a relevant issue and National health policies, social welfare services and health care providers should place special focus on pregnant women to avoid the possible occurrence of a negative pregnancy outcome such as a stillbirth. An event that should have been a joyous birth, ended in a tragic death, forcing the mother to deal with the emotions of birth and death simultaneously. The bereaved mother needs to receive special care and support as soon as possible and the crisis intervention approach is seen as being helpful to regain a sense of equilibrium in her and the family’s life before starting to adapt to the new situation. This study explores and describes the lived experience of 25 mothers who experienced a stillbirth. Focus was given to the psychosocial implications of stillbirth on mothers and their families. This study examined the mothers’ feelings about the stillbirth six months or longer after the event, as well as its impact on relationships with partners and other children. By adopting a crisis intervention approach, the effectiveness of crisis intervention shortly after the stillbirth could be investigated. This study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research approaches and assumed an exploratory and descriptive research design to provide a detailed description of the phenomenon being studied, i.e. the psychosocial implications of stillbirth. A questionnaire was used to obtain demographic (quantitative) data and a semi-structured questionnaire – the design based on information from literature - was administered during individual interviews. Obtained data was both measurable and rich in description and revealed that mothers still longed for their stillborn babies after a period of six or more months had passed. It also indicated that the father or partner of the baby and other children were affected by a stillbirth. Gender differences in how stillbirth is experienced by each partner, consequently adds extra tension on the relationship. Most of the mothers experienced the stillbirth as a crisis and found support in their mothers, family and a counsellor. Significantly, mothers felt crisis-intervention was beneficial, but preferred that crisis intervention be followed by on-going therapy. The stillbirth also resulted in feelings of alienation from community, friends and family - who did not know how to approach them. Generally, mothers were satisfied with medical care received but several issues regarding autopsy consent and guilt feelings surrounding this are highlighted. Important recommendations resulting from the study indicate that the crisis-intervention approach as method in social work is effective when rendering service for bereaved mothers and families after a stillbirth. It helps to regain a sense of equilibrium, but further intervention is recommended to facilitate the grief process. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of social workers being aware that the stillbirth causes tension in partner- and family relationships. Receiving social work intervention is not only highly effective, but allows bereaved mothers to feel empowered and encouraged to openly grieve for their stillborn babies - much needed in an environment where a stillbirth is seen as a silent birth.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Volgens jaarlikse Suid-Afrikaanse statistieke, is stilgeboorte ‘n relevante onderwerp en die Nasionale gesondheidsbeleid, maatskaplike welsynsdienste en gesondheidssorgverskaffers moet fokus op swanger vroue ten einde moontlike negatiewe swangerskapuitkomstes, soos stilgeboorte, te voorkom. Tydens ‘n stilgeboorte, eindig die heuglike vooruitsig van ‘n geboorte in die tragiese afsterwe van die baba en word die moeder geforseer om emosies van geboorte en sterfte gelyktydig te hanteer. Sulke moeders benodig spesiale versorging asook ondersteuning so spoedig moontlik. Krisis intervensie is ‘n effektiewe metode om die moeder te help om ‘n mate van balans in haar en haar gesin se lewe te herwin voordat hulle kan begin aanpas by die nuwe situasie. Hierdie studie ondersoek en beskryf ervarings van 25 moeders wat ‘n stilgeboorte ervaar het. Fokus word geplaas op die psigososiale effek van stilgeboorte op moeders en hul gesinne. Moeders se gevoelens rakende die stilgeboorte ses maande of langer na die geboorte, is ondersoek, asook die effek daarvan op hul verhoudings met lewensmaats en ander kinders. Deur die krisis intervensie benadering te gebruik, kon die effektiwiteit daarvan kort na die stilgeboorte ondersoek word. Kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodes is in hierdie studie gebruik. Die studie veronderstel ŉ verkennende en beskrywende navorsingsontwerp om sodoende ŉ uitvoerige beskrywing van die psigososiale implikasie van stilgeboorte te verskaf. Data word verkry deur ŉ vraelyste - demografiese (kwantitatiewe) data, asook semigestruktureerde vraelyste (kwalitatief) wat tydens individuele onderhoude toegedien is. Die ontwerp van die semi-gestruktureerde vraelys is gebaseer op inligting vanuit die literatuurstudie. Die bevindinge van die empiriese ondersoek dui aan dat moeders na ses maande of langer steeds hunker na hul stilgebore babas. Geslagsverskille rakende die wyse waarop moeders en vaders die stilgeboorte ervaar dra gevolglik by tot ekstra spanning in die verhouding. Die meeste moeders het die stilgeboorte as ‘n krisis ervaar en het ondersteuning gevind by hulle moeders, gesinne en ‘n berader/maatskaplike werker. ‘n Beduidende bevinding was dat moeders krisis intervensie as voordelig beskou het, maar verkies dat dit opgevolg moet word deur deurlopende terapie. Die stilgeboorte veroorsaak ook dat die moeders ‘n gevoel van vereensaming van die gemeenskap, vriende en familie ervaar het. Volgens hulle was mense te bang en onseker in hoe om hulle te benader. In die algemeen was moeders tevrede met die mediese sorg wat hulle ontvang het, maar kwessies rakende toestemming en skuldgevoelens rondom nadoodse ondersoeke word uitgelig. Belangrike aanbevelings dui aan dat krisis intervensie as metode in maatskaplike werk effektief is ten opsigte van dienslewering vir ‘n moeder en haar gesin na ‘n stilgeboorte. Dit help om ‘n mate van balans te herstel, maar verdere intervensie word aanbeveel om die rouproses te fasiliteer. Die studie beklemtoon ook dat dit belangrik is dat maatskaplike werkers bewus moet wees dat ‘n stilgeboorte spanning veroorsaak in huweliks- en gesinsverhoudings. Die ontvangs van maatskaplike werk intervensie is nie net hoogs effektief nie, maar bemagtig en motiveer moeders om openlik te rou vir hulle stilgebore babas, iets wat nodig is in ‘n samelewing waar stilgeboorte as ‘n geboorte beskou word waaroor daar nie gepraat word nie.

A presente dissertação é uma pesquisa teórica e filosófica. Tem como objetivo principal compreender os diagnósticos realizados pelos pensadores contemporâneos Michel Foucault e Hannah Arendt para a crise na educação, no sentido de contribuir para a reflexão das possíveis causas da crise. No desenvolvimento do estudo são identificados os principais conceitos pertinentes a educação sob o referencial teórico de cada autor. Foucault apresenta a constituição do sujeito dócil resultado do advento da disciplina que trouxe transformou a escola moderna em uma instituição disciplinar. Arendt analisa a relação entre a crise na educação e a crise da autoridade, assim como os pressupostos democráticos presentes nas novas teorias educacionais do século XX. Como ponto de partida desse estudo é analisado o conceito de democracia, a influência dos ideais democráticos no âmbito político, assim como sua disseminação para diversas instituições sociais, em especial a escola. Nesse sentido, considera-se que a conceituação de democracia é múltipla de acordo com a concepção de educação, de estado e de sociedade vigente. Sendo assim, realizou-se uma abordagem das concepções de democracia relacionadas à educação e ao processo de democratização da escola. A partir de princípios legais estabelecidos na Constituição Federal de 1988, na Lei 9.394/96, Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB), entre outros, são asseguradas a igualdade de condições para o acesso e permanência na escola e a gestão emocrática do ensino público.

Abstract:

All thirty women who were to undergo microsurgical treatment for tubal infertility in 1981 and their men were investigated. Over a period of 2 years four interviews were performed with the women and two with their men. A questionnaire, semistructured interviews, symptom checklist and the Eysenck Personality Inventory were used. During this longitudinal study the couples' background, current situation and emotional and social impact of the infertility problem were investigated. The psychological and social effects of the medical investigation and treatment have been described. Expectations and hopes about the future after unsuccessful surgical treatment and the need of professional psychosocial counselling have been noted. Furthermore, the extent of psychological reactions compatible with a crisis pattern has been identified and classified. Finally, overt motives for having a child have been studied. The infertile couples generally did not differ with respect to psychosocial background, current life situation, psychiatric anamnesis or personality characteristics when compared with apparently normal reference groups. Several deleterious emotional and social effects of the infertility were found both before and 2 years after the surgical treatment. The women admitted to suffering such effects more frequently than the men. The partners' feeling for each other were getting worse 2 years after the operation. There was also a tendency to a deterioration in opinions about marital relationships. Most of the mental symptoms recorded could be classified in terms of depression, guilt and isolation, which all are parts of the reactive phase of the common crisis pattern. The crisis of infertility, however, differs from the common traumatic crisis; it is more prolonged and there are often repeated crisis reactions. Negative effects on the couples' sexual life were reported by all individuals. The medical investigation and surgical treatment of infertility influenced the couples' mutual relationship and sexual life negatively. Intrapsychic and interpersonal motives of childwish were dominant among both women and men. A central motive was that a child is an ultimate expression of love between a man and a woman. The motives of the infertile couples generally did not differ from those of the reference groups. Most of the couples had difficulty in working their way through and finding a solution to their infertility problem by their own means. Relatives and friends failed to fulfil a supportive function. The importance of having the possibility of professional psychosocial counselling and support parallel with the investigation and treatment were stressed by all participants.

Abstract:

Les fonctions administratives du gouvernement consistent à fournir les services publics, et à opérer la gestion publique et administrative. Cela nécessite l’utilisation en continu d’importantes sommes d’argent. Or, le principal revenu provenant de la collecte des impôts ne suffit pas pour opérer les missions et les nécessaires activités de l’Etat. C’est la raison pour laquelle, celui-ci doit emprunter davantage aux institutions financières intérieures et extérieures. En Thaïlande, le premier emprunt fut créé à l’ère du Roi Rama V. Et après la Révolution siamoise de 1932, le pays commença à emprunter de plus en plus aux institutions financières internationales et aux gouvernements étrangers pour son développement. Ce sont les crises économiques mondiales qui ont obligé divers pays dans le monde à contracter la dette publique et qui ont fait accroître ladite dette en Thaïlande. La notion de gestion de la dette publique devient alors indispensable et, à cet égard, plusieurs pays ont rendu des lois spéciales. En Thaïlande, la Loi portant sur la gestion de la dette publique B.E. 2548 (2005) et la désignation d’un mandataire constitue la loi fondamentale autorisant le gouvernement à contracter la dette publique, et à la gérer diversement -en raison d’un changement de situation- comme la dette contractée pour le développement économique et social, pour la restructuration de la dette et la mise en œuvre de la politique sur les transactions financières en vue de réduire le risque de dette publique, etc
The government, as the administration, is responsible for public services, public affairs and administrative missions. It is, therefore, necessary to spend a great number of money consecutively. The main income of the government earned by the tax collection is not enough for its missions and the other necessary things. That’s why it had to loan more and more money from the domestic and international financial institutions. In Thailand, money has been loaned since the reign of King Rama V. After the Siamese Revolution of 1932, Thailand has incurred more public debt from the international financial institutions and foreign governments for country’s development. Public debt of Thailand and different countries has enormously increased while the notion of public debt management has also developed and the special acts on public debt management have been issued in many countries, because of the necessity of incurring public debt of several countries as well as economic crisis happened around the world. In Thailand, the Public Debt Management Act B.E. 2548 (2005) is considered as the principal law authorizing the government to incur and manage public debt in various ways for adapting to changing circumstances such as public debt incurred for social and economic development, for debt restructuring and financial transaction used for reducing the risk on public debt, etc

This study propose to contribute with the discussion about the description of the meaning of social communications, in the way as proposed by Niklas Luhmann, from the identification of a spatial dimension of meaning, alongside the objective, social and temporal dimensions already diagnosed by the author. It uses, therefore, intersection of Harisson C. White, Ignácio Farías e Hugo Cadenãs’s analyzes to formulate the concept of "plural worlds," understood as intermediate levels between interactions and social systems, arising from the performation of common sociomaterial elements, narratives, styles, and values. Luhmann did not consider the formation of 'groups' within his scheme of social differentiation plans, highlighting only interactions, organizations and society, and including, only belatedly, protest movements. Likewise, in dealing with the theme of 'culture' he considered it as too broad a theme, unfeasible to social observation. However, this study sustain that in reformulating the concept of culture, it becomes possible to observe other plans of social differentiation that interact with the functional systems, by demarcating 'communication zones' that act in the formation of the systemic choice. Although they are not functional systems, the "plural worlds" formed by the cultural distinction share important characteristics of other social systems, such as the structuring a “medium of symbolic generalization” capable of enhancing the chances of success of systemic communications by reinforcing the form side familiar for the communication that resembles the same pattern of senses they select. It is understood, therefore, that the "plural worlds" formed by culture and social systems are connected by particular communicative contexts that activate immunizing forms of episodic systemic crises arising from the cognitive closure by the compulsive reproduction of previous positive feedbacks. Specifically regarding the legal system, the "plural worlds" allow the balance between stability and instability, change and conservation; and more, by giving rise to the metacode of culture, allow the interpenetration between functional systems and psychic systems
Este trabalho busca contribuir com a discussão a respeito da descrição do sentido das comunicações sociais, proposto por Niklas Luhmann, a partir da identificação de uma dimensão espacial de sentido, ao lado das dimensões objetiva, social e temporal já diagnosticadas pelo autor. Vale-se, para tanto, da interseção das análises de Harisson C. White, Ignácio Farías e Hugo Cadenãs para formular o conceito de “mundos plurais”, entendidos como níveis intermediários entre as interações e os sistemas sociais, que surgem em razão da performação de elementos sociomateriais, narrativas, estilos e valores comuns. Luhmann não considerou a formação de ‘grupos’ dentro de seu esquema de planos de diferenciação social, destacando somente as interações, organizações e sociedade, e incluindo, apenas tardiamente, os movimentos de protesto. Do mesmo modo, ao tratar da ‘cultura’ considerou-o como um tema demasiado amplo, inviável à observação social. Contudo, acredita-se que, ao se reformular o conceito de cultura, é possível observar outros planos de diferenciação social que interagem com os sistemas funcionais, ao demarcarem ‘zonas de comunicação’ que atuam na formação das escolhas sistêmicas. Apesar de não serem sistemas funcionais, os “mundos plurais” formados pela distinção cultural compartilham importantes características de outros sistemas sociais, como a estruturação de um meio próprio de generalização simbólica capaz de potencializar as chances de êxito das comunicações sistêmicas ao reforçar o lado da forma familiar para as comunicações que espelhem o mesmo padrão de sentidos por eles selecionados. Entende-se, assim, que os “mundos plurais” formados pela cultura e os sistemas sociais encontram-se conectados por contextos comunicativos particulares que ativam formas imunizantes de crises sistêmicas episódicas decorrentes da clausura cognitiva pela reprodução compulsiva de feedbacks positivos anteriores. Especificamente quanto ao sistema jurídico, os “mundos plurais” permitem o equilíbrio entre estabilidade e instabilidade, mudança e conservação; e mais, por darem origem ao metacódigo da cultura, permitem a interpenetração entre as sistemas funcionais e sistemas psíquicos ao chamar as consciências à aceitação de suas ofertas comunicativas

Abstract:

Large numbers of incoming refugees since 2015 were perceived as a major challenge for European cooperation and migratory regimes and the situation has within Europe soon been seen as a crisis. Since then, European states and the European Union (EU) have intensified measures to shut down migrant routes to Europe as well as their attempts to externalise means of protection of refugees in Africa. Based on a theoretical framework consisting of political science border studies, postcolonial studies and the method of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) together with the study of narratives in politics, this thesis analyses two critical events in this field, the 2015 Valletta Summit on migration where European and African leaders discussed the terms of migration cooperation and the 2018 debate on disembarkation platforms. The focus in this work lies especially on neocolonial elements in the power relations between Europe and Africa and how these are expressed in the narratives that were used to justify and explain the action taken. For this purpose, official documents, speeches, interviews and additional utterances from European heads of states and European politicians as well as from African heads of states and African Union (AU) representatives are analysed. Eventually, the thesis comes to the conclusion that a form of neocolonial exists that is here named implicit or indirect neocolonialism.

Abstract:

Dans quelle mesure et par quelles modalités la télé-réalité conduit au dépassement de la télévision traditionnelle ? Tel est le fil conducteur qui préside à notre analyse des modèles socio-économiques en cours dans le fonctionnement de la télévision et des industries culturelles en général, en mettant en avant leur agencement dans la socio-économie de la télé-réalité. Cette recherche tente d’apporter une explication de ce dépassement scio-économique au travers de l’existence d’une crise de la télévision traditionnelle ; crise qui peut se traduire par un déséquilibre entre les dépenses de plus en plus grandissantes et les recettes de moins en moins importantes des chaînes de télévision. En même temps, cette recherche permet de comprendre que, loin d’être une industrie démodée, désuète, une des forces de ce média réside dans sa capacité à se renouveler et à autoriser des mutations susceptibles de lui apporter un nouveau souffle. A travers l’articulation de la télé-réalité, qui entraîne la ré-industrialisation de la télévision, et grâce justement à cette capacité de dépassement, ce nouveau genre semble s’être inspiré de sources diversifiées tant anciennes que lointaines. De ce fait, elle peut prétendre apporter des réponses, aussi provisoires fussent-elles, aux problèmes posés entre autres par l’essoufflement socio-économique de la télévision ou encore par l’émiettement de l’audience. C’est le cas notamment de la diffusion en continu, de la multidiffusion au quotidien ou de la programmation privilégiée en prime time…
To what extent and by what means reality TV leads to overcoming traditional television? This is the key idea which presides over our analysis of socio-economic progress in the operation of television and cultural industries in general, highlighting their arrangement in the socio-economics of the reality TV. This research attempts to provide an explanation to this socio-economic excess through crisis of a traditional television; a crisis that may lead to a disparity between every increasing expenses and less important revenues of television channels. At the same time, this thesis helps to understand that, far from being an industry old-fashioned, obsolete industry, a strength of this medium lies in its ability to renew and authorize changes likely to bring new momentum. Through the articulation of reality TV, which causes the re-industrialization of television, precisely because of this ability to endue; this again seems to have inspired such sources both old as distant. Thus, it can claim to provide answers, tentative as they may be, the problems posed, for example, by the socio-economic slowdown of television or by audience fragmentation. This is particularly the case of streaming, daily multicasting or preferential-time programmation…

Abstract:

Este trabalho tem como primeiro objetivo buscar uma conexão entre a ideia de consumocentrismo, a crise ambiental e o direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. Pretende-se expor as amplas consequências socioambientais fruto de uma sociedade consumocentrista, com a ideia de que existe uma crise ambiental que limita o direito de todos ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. Em um segundo momento, a presente dissertação pretende relacionar esse cenário do consumo atual com a obra O Direito da Liberdade de Axel Honneth. A escolha desta obra conduz a uma posição interdisciplinar que busca, em última instância, ir além da compreensão jurídica. Para tanto, a método adotado foi o dialético com o procedimento de revisão bibliográfica. Analisa-se os três conceitos de liberdade da teoria de Honneth em momentos específicos, em cada elemento a ideia é vislumbrar como a práxis do consumo ocorre sob cada um dos conceitos em suas respectivas instituições. A questão que se almeja responder é como a concepção de liberdade social pode transformar o consumo. O propósito final, portanto, será vislumbrar, ainda que à distância, as implicações e possibilidades de uma esfera de eticidade nas relações de consumo tendo em vista a crise ambiental e o dever de defender e preservar o meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado.

This work aims to find a connection between the idea of consumerism, the environmental crisis and the right to the ecologically balanced environment. It is intended to expose the broad socioenvironmental consequences of a consumer-centric society, with the idea that there is an environmental crisis that limits everyone’s right to an ecologically balanced environment. In a second moment, the present dissertation intends to relate this current consumption scenario with the Axel Honneth’s book Freedom’s Right. The choice of this work leads to an interdisciplinary position that seeks, ultimately, to go beyond legal understanding. For this, it was used the dialectic method with a bibliographic review procedure. It will be analyzed the three concepts of freedom in Honneth's theory at specific moments, in each element the idea is to glimpse how the praxis of consumption occurs under each of the concepts in their respective institutions. The question that is intended to answer is how the conception of social freedom can transform consumption. The ultimate purpose, therefore, will be to glimpse, even if at a distance, the implications and possibilities of a sphere of ethics in consumer relations in view of the environmental crisis and the duty to defend and preserve the ecologically balanced environment.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the relationship between social structural factors and violent crime rates in Turkey. The relationship between social structural characteristics and violent crime is worth exploring in areas that have attracted little academic attention, such as violent crime in Turkey. In order to understand and prevent the occurrence of crime, researchers have long investigated possible factors related to crime. Examining how crime varies across different regions can help us to understand underlying reasons for violent crime, which is considered one of the enduring problems in society. The findings of this research, to some extent, support the assumptions of social disorganization theory regarding the distribution of violent crime. Both the findings of multivariate and bivariate analysis indicated that poverty, unemployment, and family disruptions may have a positive effect on the distribution of violent crime in the cities of Turkey. The analysis of the effects of the social structure variables through the mediating variables, such as religious institutions, libraries and voluntary associations on the number of violent crimes and violent criminals, to some extent, support the tenets of social disorganization theory. However, all mediating variables cannot mediate all the indirect effects of social structural covariates. In brief, none of their indirect impacts on the social structural variables on the outcome variable was significant via mediating variables.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine and compare individuals that had survived a single incidence trauma, the Luby's massacre in Killeen, Texas. Participants answered questions regarding various facets of social support following the trauma, and were also screened for a diagnosis of PTSD. Participants' level of symptoms, specifically depression, anxiety, and phobic anxiety was measured over time with the SCL-90-R. The results of this study indicate that, while women initially experience a higher level of depression and phobic anxiety, there is no gender difference in rate of symptom change over time. This study also found that women were significantly higher than men on desirability, utilization and usefulness of social support. Of the target symptoms, however, only depression correlated with any facet of social support, specifically, desirability. Finally, this study questioned whether individuals would share more similarities with others based on gender or diagnosis. It is suggested by the current data that diagnosis is the better indicator of similarity.

Abstract:

Våren 2017 upplevde Sverige en kris när det terrorattentat med flest dödsfall sen 1940 inträffade; en lastbil körde längs Drottninggatan i Stockholm, varpå flera personer blev påkörda varav fem personer dödades. Händelsen spred sig snabbt i sociala medier och delar av informationen som spreds var obekräftade uppgifter som senare visade sig vara felaktiga. Syftet med denna studie har varit att framställa rekommendationer för kriskommunikatörers proaktiva arbete mot falsk information och ryktesspridning på sociala medier samt utgöra en grund för vidare forskning inom krisinformatik. För att uppnå detta syfte har sex respondenter från Krisinformation.se och Polisen intervjuats och en tidslinje (Bilaga 3) upprättats för att förtydliga händelseförloppet på sociala medier under terrorattentatet. Analys av data från det insamlade materialet har resulterat i tio rekommendationer som kan appliceras för att proaktivt motverka falsk information och ryktesspridning på sociala medier. Rekommendationer som kan appliceras generellt hos aktörer inom krishantering. Dessa rekommendationer var: Öva; Bevaka; Skapa material; Var snabb; Var korrekt; Var närvarande; Bemöt rykten; Var tillgänglig; Utbilda; Crowdsourca.
In the spring of 2017, Sweden experienced a crisis when the most deadly act of terrorism since 1940 occured; a truck drove through a crowd of people on Drottninggatan in Stockholm, hitting several people and killing five. The event spread rapidly in social media and the circulating information was in part unconfirmed data that later turned out to be incorrect. The purpose of this study was to generate recommendations regarding emergency communicators’ proactive work against false information and the spreading of rumors on social media, while at the same time be a foundation for future studies within crisis informatics. To achieve this purpose six respondents from Krisinformation.se and the Swedish police were interviewed and a timeline (Bilaga 3) was created in order to clarify the chain of events on social media during the act of terrorism. Analysis of data from the aggregated material has resulted in ten recommended measures applicable to proactive work against false information and spreading of rumors in social media. Measures that can be applied generally to actors within crisis management. These measures were: Practice; Monitor; Create material; Be quick, Be correct; Be present; Respond to rumors; Be available; Educate; Crowdsource.

Abstract:

Moral reform is a neglected response to wrongdoing that has been incorrectly portrayed as a practice involving illegitimate treatment of wrongdoers and as totally unsatisfying to those theorists advocating backward-looking practices such as retributive punishment. A clear explanation of the ethical legitimacy and practical necessity of the reformative techniques moral reform involves has been missed, and this paper details the design of moral reform proper in order to fill this gap in punishment theory. The moral reform of an offender is identified as a desideratum of responses to wrongdoing and it is explained what moral reform ought to entail. The claim that moral reform qualifies as the overriding aim of responses to wrongdoing is argued for on the grounds that this practice is capable of achieving all the established ends of responses to wrongdoing. The legitimate desiderata of our practices are identified as those usually selected as the ends of punishment practices, and moral reform must accomplish these if it is to be accepted. Moral reform is shown to realise the goals of punishments as the fortunate effects of what is done to achieve an offender's moral improvement and of what reformees do in taking responsibility for their actions. The suffering involved in moral reform receives particular emphasis since the practice will never satisfy unless it accommodates the widely-held intuition that the offender must suffer sufficiently as a consequence of his wrongdoing. Moral reform is further portrayed as the most meaningful practice for its ability to satisfy the appropriate needs and desires victims have in response to their victimization. A central claim of the thesis is that moral reform best serves the victim, since it most effectively relieves the victim's emotional responses to wrongdoing and is as adept as punishment at the expression of these same emotions. Reformers advocate a constructive response to wrongdoing that benefits all affected parties.

Abstract:

Basé sur une enquête ethnographique multi-située, le présent travail de thèse aborde les pratiques circulatoires des migrants de nationalité malienne arrivés en Espagne à partir des années 1990. Les acteurs, les espaces, les stratégies, les conditions matérielles et symboliques de ces mobilités complexes font l’objet de ma recherche. En portant mon regard sur un vaste espace de circulation compris entre le Mali, ses pays limitrophes et plusieurs pays européens, j’ai pourtant identifié un terrain d’observation spécifique afin d'analyser l’inscription territoriale de la mobilité dans un contexte social pouvant être délimité. L’Espagne à l’époque de la crise économique, de la contraction du marché de l’emploi et de la précarisation sociale des populations migrantes correspond à cet espace-temps clé de ma démarche. Dans ce contexte en rapide évolution, on observe aujourd’hui l’essor d’un nouveau cycle de mobilités nationales et transnationales. Confrontés à l’érosion du salariat dans les secteurs qui les employaient autrefois, un nombre croissant de migrants maliens fait de la circulation une ressource capitale, permettant de saisir des opportunités d’affaires et d'embauches au sein d’un périmètre géographique élargi. Les mouvements pendulaires à la quête d’emplois précaires, les voyages dans le cadre d’entreprises d’importation de produits d’occasion, les déplacements saisonniers pour les travaux agricoles constituent autant d’exemples concrets d’une économie de la mobilité qui brouille les repères entre migration de travail et commerce transnational. J’ai prêté une attention particulière à la manière dont les acteurs interprètent leurs pratiques de circulation, ainsi qu'à l’évolution des représentations et des imaginaires mobilisés. Du point de vue des acteurs en mouvement, la mobilité semble souvent participer d’une stratégie de recomposition des parcours migratoires exposés à la précarité ; dans certains cas, elle devient une manière d’aborder graduellement le retour dans le milieu d’origine en échappant aux écueils d’une réinstallation à long terme. En suivant les itinéraires et recueillant les histoires de vie, on découvre la variété, l’effervescence, mais aussi la fragilité des différents équilibres sociaux, familiaux et économiques, bâtis sur la mobilité. Ces équilibres renvoient à l’urgence de reformuler la relation avec les espaces et les sociétés investis selon des configurations souvent inédites et en perpétuelle construction
Based on a multi-sited ethnography, this thesis studies the movements of Malian migrants that arrived to Spain since 1990. The people, their strategies, the locations, and the material and symbolic conditions of their complex movements make also part of this research. Looking into the broad space of circulation, from Mali and their neighboring countries, to the European countries, I have identified a terrain for observing the mobility of migrants inside their social context. Spain, during the economic crisis, with the unemployment and social precariousness is the key point, in space and time, of my study.In this context of rapid evolution, we observe today a new cycle of national and transnational mobility. Facing the reduction of the economic sectors that used to provide work in the past, a growing number of Malian migrants make circulation and mobility their key resource, allowing them to engage in business deals and trade in a larger geographical area. The suburban trips looking for short term jobs, the trips to different countries to sell second hand products, or the seasonal trips for working in agriculture, are just few examples of an economy of the mobility, that blurs the limits between migration and international commerce. I made specific attention to the way the migrants understand their circulation practices, and to the evolution of the imaginary of mobility.From the migrant standpoint, mobility seems to make part of a strategy of reconstruction of emigrational paths exposed to precariousness; in some cases, it becomes a way to gradually face the return to their home countries avoiding the pitfalls of a long term stay there. Following these itineraries and gathering their histories we discover the variety and the thrill, but also the fragility of the different social, familiar and economic balances built on mobility. These balances take us to the urgency of reformulating the relationship with the spaces and the societies created around new and unusual situations and in constant evolution

Abstract:

This thesis project explores how interactive technologies can facilitate a sense of social connectedness with others whilst remotely located. While studying the way humans use rituals for emotional management, I focused my interest on the act of commensality because it is one of the oldest and most important rituals used to foster togetherness among families and groups of friends. Dining with people who do not belong to the same household is of course hard during a global pandemic, just like many of the other forms of social interactions that were forcibly replaced by the use of technological means such as video-chat apps, instant messaging and perhaps an excessive use of social networking websites. These ways of staying connected, however, lack the subtleties of real physical interaction, which I tried to replicate with my prototype system, which consists of two sets of a lamp and a coaster which enable to communicate through light and tactile cues. The use of such devices creates a new kind of ritual based on the simultaneous use of the devices by two people, thus enabling a new and original form of commensality that happens through a shared synchronized experience.

Abstract:

This research focuses on women's leadership roles for sustainable development in crisis conditions with particular attention to the foundations of the leadership roles of women based in spirituality and religion. The research question for this study ask: How do religious and spiritual traditions contribute to the leadership roles of women that can be effective in building sustainable development in crisis conditions? The study uses a content analysis of a key body of women's writings from Burma. The findings from the data explain some of the ways in which spirituality and religion have played significant roles in promoting the leadership of women at the community level for sustainable development under crisis conditions. The study contributes to theory development by generating a set of propositions on the leadership roles of women drawing from religious and spiritual traditions that can be tested in other regions and countries. The study also offers a set of lessons for sustainable development practice.

Full text

Abstract:

Given the unique nature of crises, a key capability of the crisis response system is to facilitate adaptive response structures in relation to the circumstances of any given crisis. This thesis views the crisis response system as complex adaptive system, in which adaptive response is an emergent phenomenon that occurs through the interactions of crisis response organizations within the crisis response system. Training cooperative capabilities needed to foster adaptive crisis response has proven difficult, as well as reporting learnings from collaborative exercises in a useful manner. Based in these challenges, this thesis aims to investigate the potential of using boundary stories as pedagogical tools for learning of inter-organizational cooperative capabilities. This exploration is structured in relation to three research questions: 1. How can inter-organizational boundaries be described through the lens of systems theory? 2. What can be learned from inter-organizational work during the Covid-19 pandemic to facilitate learning of cooperative capabilities within the crisis response system? 3. How can boundary stories be empirically defined and constructed to capture learnings and experiences from inter-organizational boundary work during crises? It is suggested that inter-organizational boundaries be described as the interactional connections between crisis response organizations through which the organizations communicate and cooperate. Boundary structures can further be understood as one of four types of bureaucratic adaptation, as a function of structure and tasks. The Covid-19 pandemic has produced entirely new circumstances in relation to how crises are usually thought of within the crisis response system. The long timeframe of the pandemic has forced integrations of crisis and everyday structures, thus producing entirely new inter-organizational structures. The core challenge in establishing these structures is fostering a common understanding between the involved actors. Finally, a two-part concept of boundary stories and boundary narratives are suggested. The first refers to the enacted living story of the inter-organizational structure, and the latter refers to a simplified, constructed narrative version of the story with the purpose of mediating the experiences of inter-organizational work in an understandable manner to actors not directly involved in the boundary setting to foster learning of cooperative capabilities for future crisis response.
Givet att varje kris är unik i sin karaktär så är en av de viktigaste förmågorna hos ett krishanteringssystem att kunna upprätta adaptiva responsstrukturer i relation till de unika omständigheterna för varje uppkommen kris. Den här uppsatsen betraktar krishanteringssystemet som ett komplext adaptivt system där adaptiv respons förstås som ett emergent fenomen som uppstår genom interaktioner mellan organisationer i krishanteringssystemet. Träning av de samverkansförmågor som krävs för att upprätta adaptiv respons, samt att rapportera lärdomar från samverkansövningar på ett användbart sätt har visat sig svårt i tidigare studier. Med grund i dessa utmaningar syftar den här uppsatsen till att undersöka potentialen hos gränshistorier som pedagogiskt verktyg för lärande av interorganisatoriska samverkansförmågor. Undersökningen struktureras i relation till tre frågeställningar: 1. Hur kan interorganisatoriska gränser beskrivas genom systemteori? 2. Vilka lärdomar från interorganisatoriskt arbete under Covid-19-pandemin kan fångas upp och nyttjas för lärande av samverkansförmågor inom det svenska krishanteringssystemet? 3. Hur kan gränshistorier definieras och skapas på empirisk grund med syfte att fånga lärdomar och erfarenheter från interorganisatorisk samverkan under kriser? Uppsatsen beskriver interorganisatoriska gränser genom de interaktionsmönster som etableras och uppstår mellan organisationer i krishanteringssystemet, genom vilka organisationer kommunicerar och samverkar. Gränsstrukturer kan fortsatt förstås som en av fyra typer av byråkratiska anpassningar som en funktion av struktur och uppgifter. Covid-19-pandemin har medfört helt nya förutsättningar i relation till den arketypiska bilden av kriser som finns etablerad i krishanteringssystemet. Det faktum att pandemin pågått under så lång tid har tvingat fram integreringar av vardagliga organisatoriska strukturer och krishanteringsstrukturer, vilket har medfört nya interorganisatoriska samverkansformer. Kärnutmaningen i dessa samverkansstrukturer har varit att lyckas etablera en gemensam förståelse mellan de involverade aktörerna. Slutligen har ett tvådelat koncept innefattandes gränshistorier och gränsnarrativer föreslagits. Gränshistorier syftar till de pågående, levande historierna som utspelar sig i det interorganisatoriska gränsarbetet. Gränsnarrativer ska förstås som förenklade, konstruerade narrativa versioner av gränshistorier med syftet att förmedla olika erfarenheter av interorganisatoriskt arbete på ett sätt som kan förstås och ligga till grund för lärande av samverkansförmågor för att stärka framtida krishantering.

Abstract:

Esta tese traz contribuições para a formulação do problema de atendimento de necessidades por energia, relacionadas à eletricidade e combustíveis no caso brasileiro. A argumentação pela expansão crescente da oferta de energia é expressão corrente no senso comum, nas agências de notícias, nos discursos oficiais e nos vários planos apresentados à sociedade, e se apóia nas ideologias do progresso e do desenvolvimento econômico. A busca por legitimação desse processo expansivo e acelerado passa por conceitos como soberania nacional, segurança energética e pela inserção do país como protagonista econômico no cenário Latino Americano. Os empreendimentos de infraestrutura na área de energia são intensivos na utilização dos recursos naturais, provocam deslocamentos populacionais importantes e deixam consequências e registro volumoso e inequívoco de passivos sociais e ambientais na historiografia e na sociologia relacionadas à energia. Neste trabalho faz-se um retrospecto das relações entre empresas privadas, estatais e estruturas de governo nos processos de consolidação da geração, produção e distribuição de eletricidade, desde a transição do capitalismo concorrencial ao capitalismo oligopolista-financeiro que encontra, na expansão dos serviços de utilidade pública brasileiros, oportunidade econômica, desde o início do séc. XX. O retrospecto revela similaridades, ao longo do período analisado, tanto na identificação da centralização nas tomadas de decisão e formulação dos problemas relacionados à energia, quanto na relação internacional dos fluxos de capital e de produtos primários de exportação, presença das grandes empresas estrangeiras constituídas mundialmente em rede e na caracterização do repertório de vantagens comparativas que o Brasil apresenta. Há novidades contemporâneas: outra forma de legitimação aparece, a da matriz energética mais limpa, baseada na hidroeletricidade como conversão de energia limpa e renovável. As descobertas recentes de gigantescos volumes de hidrocarbonetos na camada do Pré-sal, sua provável utilização e o acúmulo dos estudos das consequências ambientais e sociais da consolidação da indústria da hidroeletricidade brasileira, no entanto, vão de encontro a essa argumentação. Utilizamos o termo fetichismo da oferta expansiva de energia, pois os processos de legitimação do discurso da necessidade energética supera o sentido ontológico e procura amparo nas estruturas sociais, tornando sua oferta crescente como algo naturalizado. Produz-se um quadro de referência sobre os problemas identificados nos processos de licenciamento ambiental em três projetos hidrelétricos (Santo Antonio, Jirau, e Belo Monte) e a partir deles são identificadas outras necessidades: a de mudanças institucionais, de leis ambientais e de proteção dos direitos de populações tradicionais e indígenas, atribuições do Ministério Público. Mudanças que aparecem para tornar célere os processos de licenciamento ambiental, particularmente os relacionados com o avanço da fronteira energética na Amazônia. As críticas e as reações ao processo expansivo, algumas oficialmente expostas nos processos de licenciamento ambiental e outras advindas dos movimentos e organizações de ameaçados, atingidos e organizações ambientalistas, são interpretadas como obstáculos. Surgem as subversões porque a formulação do problema de equacionamento da oferta é intrinsecamente expansivo e avesso a soluções fora do repertório e enredo de que o quadro futuro é expansão do quadro presente. A garantia de suprimento, sempre ameaçada pelas chamadas crises de fornecimento se torna objeto central, ora nega, ora estimula a termoeletricidade. Ora aceita, ora rejeita a moldura da legislação ambiental. O problema deixa de ser energético para ser um problema de acumulação e permanece ambiental no sentido das consequências que se ampliam. Em ambos os casos, descritos os fluxos de financiamento e comércio internacional e as mudanças institucionais em curso, se caracteriza como problema político e não necessariamente brasileiro.
This thesis reflects on the formulation of the problem of responding to the needs for energy, related to electricity and fuels in the Brazilian case. The argument for the increasing expansion of the energy supply is current expression in the common sense, in the news agencies, in the official discourse, and in the various plans presented to the society, and it rests on ideologies of progress and economic development. The search for legitimacy of this fast process of expansion encompasses concepts such as national sovereignty, energy security, as well as the increasing importance of the country as a leading economic player in the Latin America scenario. The infrastructure projects in the energy area are intensive in the use of natural resources, causing major population displacements and produce consequences and voluminous and unequivocal records of social and environmental liabilities to the historiography and sociology related to energy. This thesis presents a retrospect of the relationship between private, state and government structures in the consolidation processes of generation, production and distribution of electricity, starting on the transition from the concorrential capitalism to the financial-oligopolistic capitalism, which finds economic opportunities in the expansion of utilities in Brazil, since the beginning of the century XX. The retrospect reveals similarity to the current situation both in the identification of centralization in decision making and formulation of problems related to energy, as well as in the international relations of the flows of capital and the export of primary products, the presence of large foreign companies established worldwide in network and the characterization of the repertoire of comparative advantages that Brazil presents. There are contemporary news: another form of legitimacy appears; the cleaner sources of energy portfolio, based on the hydroelectricity as a clean and renewable form of energy conversion. The recent discoveries of huge volumes of hydrocarbons in the pre-salt layer, their likely use and the growing number of studies on environmental and social consequences of the consolidation of Brazilian hydroelectricity industry, however, go against this argument. We use the term fetishism of the expansive energy supply, because the processes of legitimacy of the discourse of energy demand exceeds the ontological sense and seeks refuge in social structures, making its permanently growing supply as something given. It produces a reference framework about the obstacle identified in the environmental licensing processes in three hydroelectric projects (Santo Antonio, Jirau and Belo Monte) and then identifies other needs: institutional changes in environmental laws and the protection of rights of traditional and indigenous populations - the roles of the Public Ministry. They appear in order to make the environmental licensing processes faster, particularly those related to the advancement of energy frontier in the Amazon. The criticisms and reactions to the expansion process, some of them officially exposed in the process of environmental licensing, and others arising from social movements and associations of the threatened, affected people and from environmental organizations, are interpreted as obstacles. The subversions arise because the formulation of the response to the energy supply is intrinsically expansive and it is contrary to solutions outside of the repertoire and plot that states the future scenario is an expansion of present scenario. The security of supply, always threatened by the so-called \"supply crises\" becomes the central object, and it sometimes denies and sometimes stimulates the thermal electricity. It sometimes accepts and sometimes rejects the framework of the environmental legislation. The problem is no longer a problem of energy, becomes a problem of accumulation, and it remains an environmental problem in the sense of the growing consequences. In both cases, described the flow of international trade and finance and the ongoing institutional changes, the problem becomes political and not necessarily Brazilian.

Abstract:

Nowadays many people get together in social networks, which is also a place where you seek information about current events. It’s possible to ask questions and communicate in real time which can be useful in case of crisis. Content in social network is generated by users which also could make it a place for spreading of rumors. The purpose of this work was to investigate the use of social networks and its importance and limitations during the different phases of a crisis. The research was a case study where The use of social networks during the wildfires in Pålgård in the summer of 2018 was investigated. Data collection was performed by interviews, documentary research of social networks and background information. The interviewees’ respondents have been appointed through exploratory selection. Four respondents represent different actors who collaborated during the forest fire in Pålgård 2018. One of the respondents administers a Facebook group that was frequently used during the event. The last respondent is a private person who is also the station manager’s siblings. This respondent initially helped the sibling to coordinate volunteer efforts in the abovementioned Facebook group. Social media has a great potential when it comes to reaching out to many in a short time. Regarding the forest fire in Pålgård, Facebook has primarily been used to share information, coordinate efforts, offer help and questions. Even traditional media uses their Facebook channels to share their news. In order to avoid speculation and misunderstanding, which can lead to rumor spread, it is of great importance that there is accurate and reliable information available to the public, and that their questions are answered. This is something social media can be used for.
Sociala medier är idag en mötesplats för många människor, och även en plats där information söks om aktuella händelser. Det är möjligt att ställa frågor och kommunicera i realtid vilket kan vara värdefullt vid en krissituation. Men innehåll i sociala medier är också användargenererat vilket kan göra det till en plats för ryktesspridning. Syftet med föreliggande arbete var att undersöka sociala mediers användning, betydelse och begränsningar för kommunikation och informationsdelning under en kris olika faser. Forskningen har bedrivits i form av en fallstudie där sociala mediers användning vid skogsbranden i Pålgård 2018 belysts. Datainsamling har skett genom intervjuer, dokumentär forskning av sociala medier och bakgrundsinformation. Intervjuernas respondenter har utsetts genom explorativt val. Fyra respondenter representerar olika aktörer som samverkade under skogsbranden i Pålgård 2018. En respondent administrerar en Facebookgrupp som användes flitigt under händelsen. Den sista respondenten är en privatperson som också är stationschefens syskon. Denna respondent hjälpte i början sitt syskon att samordna frivilliginsatser i ovannämnda Facebookgrupp. Sociala medier har en stor potential när det gäller att nå ut till många på kort tid. Beträffande skogsbranden vid Pålgård har framförallt Facebook använts till att dela med sig av information, samordna insatser, erbjuda hjälp samt ställa och besvara frågor. Även traditionell media använder sina Facebookkanaler till att dela sina nyheter. För att undvika spekulationer och missförstånd vilket i förlängningen kan leda till ryktesspridning är det av stor vikt att det finns korrekt och pålitlig information tillgänglig för allmänheten, och att frågor blir besvarade. Detta är något sociala medier med fördel kan användas till.

Abstract:

In the following papers I propose to construct economic models that incorporate the disastrous effect of conﬂict. I model conﬂict theoretically in a Solow growth model and empirically in a GDP per worker growth model, in a civil war onset model and a model for civil war’s severity. The ﬁrst chapter theoretically and empirically analyzes economic growth with conﬂict in the context of the Mankiw et al. (1992) adaptation of the Solow growth model and the natural resource growth model by Sachs and Warner (1995). I incorporate a variable of capital destruction in the physical and human capital accumulation equations and derive coherent theoretical and empirical results. The second chapter considers the onset of civil war across all countries and speciﬁc subsamples of countries from 1970 to 2007. The onset of war is modeled using economic and ﬁnancial variables in addition to grievance variables from the political science literature to ascertain the extent to which ﬁnancial crises and hyperinﬂation can bring about civil war. I estimate using panel time-series logistic regression techniques and discover the risk of conﬂict in Africa, Asia, highly-indebted poor countries, and low income countries. Some civil wars are fought for government control and others are fought over local issues - both types of war are controlled for with their own determinants. The third chapter determines factors that signiﬁcantly affect the severity of civil wars from year to year. I employ the same IV/GMM estimation techniques from Chapter 1 to discover the role of ﬁnancial crises, hyperinﬂation, unemployment, and development assistance and aid in the severity of war.

Esta tese analisa os impactos da exploração do capital sobre a força de trabalho no Brasil e suas consequências para os direitos sociais no período de 1990 a 2016. O objeto de estudo são as transformações econômicas ocorridas neste período e como estas, no contexto da crise do capital, repercutem sobre os direitos sociais dos trabalhadores. A hipótese é de que no período neoliberal, iniciado nos anos 1990, acentuou-se a subordinação do trabalho ao capital, que tem o Estado como seu principal suporte, e resultando na intensificação da precarização do trabalho através da retirada de direitos. O estudo mostrou que a flexibilização das leis do trabalho, utilizada como uma das formas de o capital aumentar sua taxa de lucro foi um mecanismo que contribuiu para o aumento da precarização do trabalho. Evidenciou-se ainda que medidas de contratendência do capital à lei tendencial de queda da sua taxa de lucro tais como, o desemprego, a intensificação do trabalho, a redução dos salários e a privatização de empresas públicas, contribuíram significativamente para o aumento da precarização do trabalho no Brasil.
Abstract : The present thesis reviews the working capital effects upon the workforce in Brazil and its consequences to social rights between 1990 and 2016. The object of the research are the economics transformations occurred in this period and how they affect the worker social rights in the context of the capital crisis. The hypothesis is that over the neo-liberal period, which began in 1990, increased its subordination of labor to capital that has the State as its main support, and has resulted in the intensification of the precariousness of labor through the withdrawal of rights. The research indicates that the flexibility labour laws, used as one of the ways capital increases its rate profit, was a mechanism that contributed to increase the precariousness of work. It was also evidenced that measures of counter-tendency of capital to the law tendency of fall of its rate of profit, such a, unemployment, increased workloads, wage cut and the privatization of public companies, have significantly contributed to increase the precariousness of work in Brazil.

Abstract:

Este estudo busca trazer elementos para explicar a crise que dissolveu a Unilabor, uma experiência autogestionária operária única a seu tempo, em São Paulo, através da análise da documentação interna da empresa, das informações prestadas por alguns dos participantes, entrevistados, e pelo recurso à hipótese de prevalência de uma racionalidade instrumental, a certa altura dos acontecimentos, em lugar da racionalidade substantiva pressuposta nos fundamentos da comunidade. Os elementos para a formulação e exame dessa hipótese provêm das teorias marxistas do trabalho, conforme reformuladas e atualizadas por autores como Robert Kurz, Roberto Schwarz, Moishe Postone, Jürgen Habermas, André Gorz e Ricardo Antunes, os quais, mesmo não uniformemente, apontam os elementos atuais de uma crise da categoria \'trabalho\' como elemento central da formação da riqueza. Também os conceitos de comunidade, solidariedade, esperança e amizade, conforme expostos e analisados por Giorgio Agamben e Terry Eagleton, servirão para problematizar as conclusões do trabalho. O aspecto estético, consubstanciado no desenho industrial utilizado nos móveis produzidos pela Unilabor, aparece como fundamento secundário da hipótese de insuficiência substantiva apresentada, pois pretendeu ser fator pedagógico, portanto de aprendizado de ofício, para os operários envolvidos na autogestão. Tal programa estético, tanto quanto a solidariedade, a amizade e a racionalidade substantiva, também mostrou-se insuficiente para a manutenção dos laços comunitários.
This study aims to gather elements to explain the crisis that dissolved Unilabor, a workers\' self-management experience in São Paulo that was unique in its time, through the analysis of the company\'s internal documentation, through information provided by some of the participants who were interviewed, as well as by resorting to the hypothesis of prevalence of an instrumental rationality, at one point, in place of the substantive rationality assumed in the fundamentals of the community. The elements for the formulation and analysis of this hypothesis come from Marxist theories of labor, as reformulated and updated by authors such as Robert Kurz, Roberto Schwarz, Moishe Postone, Jürgen Habermas, André Gorz, and Ricardo Antunes, who, albeit not uniformly, have pointed out the current elements of a crisis of the category \'work\' as a central element in the creation of wealth. Additionally, the concepts of community, solidarity, hope, and friendship, as defined and analyzed by Giorgio Agamben, and Terry Eagleton will be used to open the conclusions of this paper up to discussion. The aesthetic aspect, embodied in the industrial design of the furniture produced by Unilabor is present as a background for the substantive insufficiency hypothesis that is presented, since it intends to function as a factor that is pedagogical, thus concerning the learning of one\'s craft by workers involved in the self-management. This aesthetic program, as much as the solidarity, friendship, and substantive rationality, also proved to be insufficient for the maintenance of community ties.

Abstract:

Dans cette thèse, nous nous concentrons sur la relation entre l'économie et sa représentation sociale, entre la science et son sens commun. Dans un premier chapitre, théorique, nous démontrons que les représentations sociales des individus profanes jouent un rôle dans la modélisation économique et dans la mise en oeuvre des politiques économiques. Dans un second chapitre, empirique, nous décrivons d'abord la représentation sociale de la crise économique de 2008 en France et montrons que les différences de représentation peuvent être dues à la perception des menaces financières personnelles. Ces dernières conduisent à différents types d'actions pour faire face (ou non) à la crise économique. Dans un troisième chapitre, empirique, nous étudions la possibilité d'un ajustement cognitif entre les représentations profanes des théories économiques qui expliquent les crises économiques et ces théories économiques. Nous étudions également l'influence des différences sociodémographiques et psychologiques (telles que les opinions politiques et la croyance en un monde juste) sur ces théories économiques. Enfin, dans un dernier chapitre empirique, nous examinons les représentations sociales de l'euro et abordons la notion d'illusion monétaire ainsi que la perception des politiques monétaires européennes en France
In this thesis we focus on the relationship between economics and social representations, between science and common sense. First in a theoretical chapter, we discuss how social representations of lay individuals can potentially play a role in economic modeling and in the implementation of economic policies. Secondly, in an empirical chapter, we firstly describe the social representation of the 2008 economic crisis in France and link it to the perception of personal financial threats. We then proceed to demonstrate that this difference can lead to different types of actions in order to cope (or not) with the economic crisis. The third chapter investigates empirically the possibility of a cognitive fit between lay representations of economic theories that explain economic crises and economic theories themselves. The influence of sociodemographic and psychological differences (such as political opinions, and Belief in a Just World) over these economic theories is also studied. The final chapter examines the social representations of the euro and approaches the notion of monetary illusion as well as the perception of European monetary policies among the French population

Användandet av Learning Management Systems, LMS, har bidragit till att digitalisera lärande. Den här studien genomförs inom ramen för projektet CriseIT, vilket undersöker möjligheten till att använda digitala verktyg för krisövningar. Ett alternativ som används inom CriseIT är LMS, där en tidigare studie använt Canvas LMS. På uppdrag från CriseIT-projektet genomförs i den här studien en jämförande studie mellan Canvas LMS och Moodle LMS, där fokus hamnar på installation, konfiguration och skapandet av en kurs. Den här studiens syfte är undersöka vad som krävs för att installera, konfigurera och skapa en kurs i Canvas respektive Moodle. Studien ska klargöra vilka likheter och skillnader LMS:en har inom den avgränsningen. Resultat visar på totalt 41 steg för både Canvas och Moodle för att genomföra installation, konfiguration och skapande av en kurs, något som visar på att LMS:en liknar varandra i en överskådlig analys. Slutsatser visar på att skillnaderna främst återfinns i hur installation, konfiguration och skapandet av en kurs genomförs. Likheterna återfinns i vad som faktiskt utförs i varje steg, det vill säga att färdiga installationer av Canvas och Moodle påminner mycket om varandra.

Abstract:

Le choix du sujet actuel est né d'une recherche interne, d’un descendant de réfugiés qui voulait connaitre et comprendre les conditions et les raisons pour lesquelles l’accueil de ses ancêtres avait ai fait d’une façon si « inélégante », hâtive et sommaire, et tout ça sans ressentir le désir de punir les personnes impliquées.En même temps, c'était aussi la volonté d’étudier si notre société actuelle si organisée et moderne, aurait appris des erreurs du passé et pleine d'expériences ne puisse pas les répéter.Mais la réalité du flux des réfugiés de 2015 a prouvé qu'en fin de compte, une société, peu importe à quel point elle veut paraître prête, avant-gardiste et civilisée, n'est rien d'autre qu'une société belle et ornée, qui n'apprend pas ou ne veut même pas apprendre de ses erreurs, de son histoire, elle apprend simplement à réagir et à enfouir sous le tapis les problèmes qui la préoccupent ou troublent l'image son calme.Dans des circonstances normales, il est impossible pour l'historien de trouver un moyen de faire l'expérience de l'objet de son étude, de vivre la réalité historique et ceci en raison du décalage entre le présent et le passé qu'il étudie.Le flux migratoire qui a débuté en 2015 a été l'occasion pour notre étude de nous faire vivre la triste réalité du sort des réfugies de la période étudiée, avec des images, des mots, des sons, des odeurs.Les réfugiés d'aujourd'hui vivaient les mêmes problèmes de santé, le même traitement social, le même état de réalité et de sous-effort pour les aider, à leur façon « portaient » le même manteau de misère que les réfugiés de notre étude.Un sujet d'étude historique peut-il changer l'image de la société dans laquelle on vit ? Oui, quelque chose qui semble à la fois rare et impossible, mais finalement si vraisemblable, un chercheur peut soudainement voir ses contemporains se transformer en « monstres du passé » qu'il étudie.Il est vrai que le chemin du chercheur est solitaire et demande beaucoup d'efforts et de sacrifices, les obstacles qu'il trouvera devant lui, surtout s'il a une famille et travaille, sont nombreux, en même temps il doit faire face à des problèmes de bureaucratie, de préjugés ou d'hostilité. Bien sûr, aucun État ne veut être blâmer pour les erreurs qu'il a commises dans le passé, en espérant qu'il pourrait gagner son immunité.Cependant, un sujet de thèse peut permettre au chercheur de changer sa perception de sa propre famille, de découvrir ses ancêtres à travers des sources et des archives, enseignant ainsi à ses enfants leur véritable histoire familiale sans mythes historiques internes sans des souvenirs déformés, de sorte que les années de cette recherche et de cette écriture peuvent facilement devenir une quête personnelle du st Graal.La réaction aux problèmes de l'arrivée massive des réfugiés d'Asie Mineure en Grèce étaient-elles la seule que pouvait avoir l'État grec ? Ou était-ce une tentative de dissimuler une ou la réalité après cette arrivée massive ?L'État grec était-il au courant de la situation démographique en Asie Mineure et n'a-t-il pas réagi après la catastrophe, qui a entraîné un écart de bon sens ou a-t-il caché une mauvaise interprétation des données dont il disposait ?
The choice of the current subject was born of an internal research, of a descendant of refugees who wanted to know and understand the conditions and the reasons for which the reception of his ancestors had done in a way so "inelegant", hasty. and summary, and all without feeling the desire to punish those involved.At the same time, it was also the will to study whether our present society, so organized and modern, would have learned from the mistakes of the past and full of experiences could not repeat them.But the reality of the 2015 refugee flow proved that at the end of the day a society, no matter how ready, forward-thinking and civilized it wants to appear, is nothing but a beautiful and adorned, who does not learn or does not even want to learn from her mistakes, from her history, she simply learns to react and to bury under the carpet the problems which preoccupy her or disturb the image her calm.Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the historian to find a way to experience the object of his study, to experience historical reality, and this because of the gap between the present and the past he is studying. .The migratory flow that began in 2015 was an opportunity for our study to make us experience the sad reality of the fate of the refugees of the period studied, with images, words, sounds, smells.he refugees of today experienced the same health problems, the same social treatment, the same state of reality and of under-effort to help them, in their own way “wore” the same cloak of misery as the refugees in our study. .Can a subject of historical study change the image of the society in which we live? Yes, something that seems both rare and impossible, but ultimately so likely, a researcher can suddenly see his contemporaries transform into "monsters from the past" that he studies.It is true that the path of the seeker is lonely and requires a lot of effort and sacrifice, the obstacles that he will find before him, especially if he has a family and works, are numerous, at the same time he must face problems of bureaucracy, prejudice or hostility. Of course, no state wants to be blamed for the mistakes it has made in the past, hoping it could earn its immunity.However, a thesis topic can allow the researcher to change their perception of their own family, to discover their ancestors through sources and archives, thus teaching their children their true family history without internal historical myths without distorted memories, to so that the years of this research and writing can easily become a personal quest for the holy grail.Was the reaction to the problems of the massive arrival of refugees from Asia Minor in Greece the only one the Greek state could have? Or was it an attempt to cover up one or the reality after this massive arrival?Was the Greek state aware of the demographic situation in Asia Minor and did it not react after the disaster, which resulted in a gap in common sense or did it hide a misinterpretation of the data that he had?

Abstract:

In the summer of 2018, Sweden was taken by surprise and engulfed by forest fires on an unprecedented scale. Various forms of crisis volunteerism (CV) proved essential in the large scale response that ensued. Previous information systems (IS) research gives insights, both theoretically and practically, on the potential of IS and digitalisation to enhance and support crisis response. However, the forest fires demonstrated that CV practices and practitioners in Sweden have practically no such support. CV is, in other words, an essential part of the crisis response system, but unsupported by dedicated digitalisation. The aim of this thesis is therefore to understand what is required to enable a digital transformation (DT) that will significantly improve CV practice and the overall crisis response system. Sweden is not unique in this respect. From an international perspective, IS research devotes much attention to the area of crisis response. However, this is most commonly done using the perspective and needs of crisis management stakeholders as a departing point. Also, despite research on and the availability of IS solutions, the degree of practical implementation would appear to be low. This thesis is therefore also based on the perceived knowledge gap that the lack of IS and digitalisation supporting CV is, in part, a result of the lack of research focus on volunteer stakeholders and the CV practice itself. Another gap noted is the lack of knowledge regarding the real-world practice of CV which contributes to undermining the development and use of IS solutions for CV. This thesis, therefore, provides a much needed holistic understanding of real-world CV. This understanding moves the perspective of volunteer stakeholders to the forefront without losing the perspective of crisis management. This has been done via an empirical study in the aftermath of the Swedish forest fires crisis as well as via studies of international IS literature on crisis response and CV. This has resulted in a unique holistic and comprehensive model that relates to the complexity, dynamics and emergence involved in CV practice. Via this model it is possible to relate specific parts or aspects of CV practice, to the whole practice area and continue modelling attributes in greater detail, as required, depending on DT or IS design needs. Underlying the focus in this thesis lies a mild critique of previous IS research with more reductionist approaches, whereby the relevance of broader contextual understandings has been downplayed. The thesis aligns with perspectives on digitalisation and IS design, proposing the relevance of developing broader holistic understandings of research topics. That is, understandings that have greater potential to reveal how phenomena come into being and are adapted in environmental contexts. DT is understood in terms of a process whereby broader understandings of phenomena are used to identify needs (triggers), strategies and capabilities that will inform IS design initiatives. An analytical framework depicting this process and its main components and relationships has been designed in this thesis to contribute to an understanding of what is required to digitally transform CV practice. In summary, the thesis provides a new holistic approach and understanding for the CV practice area and how it may be digitally transformed. The thesis also contributes to a new perspective on DT, applied to a complex and non-organisation based setting. This knowledge is of relevance to both practitioners and IS researchers in crisis response and CV. The CV practice meta-model and the analytical framework for digital transformation can be used to enable and inform future digital transformation strategies and policy in Sweden and internationally. They can also contribute to guiding the initiation of practical IS design initiatives, with greater potential to enhance and improve both CV and overall crisis response. The research was performed within the information systems (IS) discipline.

Abstract:

Arbetet med denna licentiatavhandling har skett inom ramarna för det Interregionalt finansierade projektet Gränslös samverkan för ökad säkerhet 2. Syftet med avhandlingen har varit att fördjupa kunskapen om kommunal krisledning genom att också inkludera materialitetens medverkan i krisledningen och vilka förutsättningarna är för att de ska brukas. Med perspektivet av hur analoga och digitala resurser används under krisledning och vilka förutsättningar som finns för att detta ska göras skapas insikter att ta i beaktande när övningar och IT-stöd för övningar. Studier har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats med litteraturstudier, intervjuer och observationer som datainsamlingsmetoder. Det empiriska materialet har därefter betraktats med meningsgivande (sensemaking) och affordans (affordance) som teoretiska perspektiv för att förstå materialitetens roll och förutsättning i kommunal krisledning. Avhandlingen visar att de förmågor som är återkommande under övningar är samverkan, kommunikation, informationsdelning och skapande av lägesbild. Ofta övas inte aktiviteterna i sin helhet då tekniska och analoga resurser inte innefattas i övningarna. Aktörerna övar därmed delar av görandet, att tänka kring exempelvis att skapa en lägesbild, och inte görandet som helhet som involverar materialitet. Aktörernas egna reflektioner från utvärderingarna är att de själva önskar mer övning med de tekniska resurser som de har till sitt förfogande. Artikel II visar att materialiteten tar en stor plats i det arbete som sker i krisledningsrummet. Materialiteten kan ses anta roller som strukturgivande, meningsgivande, tidsöverbryggande och distansöverbryggande. Den tredje ingående artikeln visar att förutsättningar för att kunna bedriva krisledning är att kunna hantera materialitetens roller och att det krävs flexibilitet då krisledningsgruppens sammansättning är beroende av krisens art och omfattning. Ytterligare en förutsättning är trygghet i den egna organisationen, att känna sin egen roll i krisledningsgruppen och att kunna hantera de analoga och digitala resurser som finns tillgängliga är även det en förutsättning för arbetet. Avslutningsvis visar arbetet också att tid är viktig. Tid att kunna öva de personer som ska ingå i krisledningsgruppen för att därmed kunna skapa den trygghet som behövs.

Abstract:

CriseIT är ett projekt som arbetar med att bidra till god krisberedskap genom att skapa mindre gränsregionala hinder i krisövningar över den svenska och norska gränsen mellan Värmland och Hedmarks Fylke. I tidigare krisövningar över gränsen har det varit tydligt att det uppstår språkliga barriärer. Därför har en parlör tagits fram i syfte att överbrygga dessa hinder. Syftet med detta arbete i att designa en digitalt utbildningsmodul är att ta reda på hur man kan lägga upp en utbildning som hjälper användaren i att öva på svenska och norska kristermer. Det kan vara genom att lära sig ord utantill eller genom att öva på att söka på ord och begrepp i parlören. Som metod användes ett pilottest med 11 deltagare från området krisledningsövning av en prototyp innehållande ett par olika typer av ordinlärningsfrågor samt ett kortare frågeformulär. Pilottestet gjordes på distans via det webbaserat systemet Ozlab. Upplägget av frågorna i utbildningsdelen i pilottestet fungerar övervägande bra som ett sätt att lära sig ord och som en övning i att leta på ord och begrepp i ordlistan. I slutsatserna diskuteras lämpligt LMS (Learning Management System) för en sådan utbildningsmodul. Testpersonernas kommentarer var övervägande positiva kring parlören och att hitta svar i den till utbildningsmodulen. Bland de brister som uppmärksammades var själva sökfunktionen i den pdfbaserade parlören. Det ges även synpunkter kring utveckling av parlören.

Abstract:

This qualitative study explores instrumental aid as social support in family crises. Focus group interviews were conducted with six groups of women to explore their thoughts and feelings about giving and receiving instrumental aid. Women gave many examples of instrumental aid, stating it was important, but only helpful if it met a recognized need. Mutual definition of need appears to be negotiated informally within group or family memberships, as well as more formally using society's manners and customs. Individual and community resources were mentioned frequently. Affirmation of one's perceptions of an event also contributes to definition of a need. Social support is an interactive process; several women gave examples of a "state of shock" following a death and other circumstances that left a person unable to acknowledge aid.

We live in the midst of a technological revolution. In the wake of innovation, a traditional and conservative judicial order faces, simultaneously, an old and new reality. While the old reality is based on concepts and habits either built or resulting from facts and activities that can be perceived and identified; the new reality is based on a virtual mean, where new relationships arise (not necessarily connected to the real world), requiring new concepts and interpretations. The use of telematics leads to a considerable change in the habits of those who make use of it, enabling their definitive inclusion in an increasingly dynamic world. The emergence of telematics poses many challenges in the Law field. Among the main ones, we highlight the need to establish regulation for criminal conducts carried out in this mean. Given its characteristics, it requires the establishment of a paradigm for preventive control, in addition to severe repressive means. Using the relationships between Brazilian law, comparative law, discussions of doctrine and jurisprudence and proposals of this new scenario, we seek to analyze a set of questions, including juridical goods affected by telematics crimes; supposed criminals and their victims; and problems related to their types and competencies. The identification of authors and relative relevancies are also needed for this new and complex fashion of crimes: technology crimes resulting from a new global and risky information society. Lastly, seeking to protect the principles of the Federal Constitution, both the citizen and State s fundamental rights and guarantees must be secured, reinforcing the base of the Democratic State of law. This must be done through a judgment consideration that observes the proportionality principle, in every single situation that requires investigation and punishment of crimes of this nature
Vivemos uma revolução no âmbito da tecnologia. Neste despertar de inovações, uma ordem jurídica tradicional e conservadora, baseada em relações e conceitos historicamente construídos e derivados de usos e costumes fundamentalmente dependentes de fatos e atividades perceptíveis e identificáveis, depara-se com uma velha e uma nova realidade, pela qual surgem novas relações, totalmente diversas do mundo real, e que exigem novos conceitos e interpretações. A existência da telemática mostra-se como uma considerável mudança nos hábitos cotidianos daqueles que a utilizam, promovendo sua inclusão definitiva em um mundo cada vez mais dinâmico. No campo do Direito, o seu surgimento propõe vários desafios, entre os quais o mais manifesto é a necessidade de se criar mecanismos reguladores para as condutas criminosas desenvolvidas nesse meio, que impõe, pelas suas características, além de paradigma de controle repressivo mais severo, um paradigma preventivo em nossa legislação. Utilizando de uma relação entre a lei brasileira, o direito comparado, as discussões doutrinárias e jurisprudenciais e propostas dessa nova conjuntura, procuramos analisar uma série de questões, dentre elas os bens jurídicos atingidos pela criminalidade informática, o pretensos criminosos e suas vítimas, problemas acerca da tipicidade e competência. Mostra-se necessária, também, a identificação de autoria e materialidade relativas a essa nova e complexa modalidade de ilícitos: a criminalidade informática, surgida em uma sociedade global de risco informático e da informação. Por fim, com o objetivo de resguardar os princípios trazidos pela Constituição Federal, tanto os direitos e garantias fundamentais do cidadão quanto os direitos e garantias do Estado, devem ser assegurados, reforçando-se as bases de um Estado Democrático de Direito, por meio de um juízo de ponderação que observe o princípio da proporcionalidade, toda vez que se fizer necessária a apuração e punição da prática de crimes dessa natureza

Abstract:

Les internats de rééducation du secteur social semblent des institutions particulièrement propices à l'émergence des crises qui remettent en cause leurs modes de prise en charge éducatifs. L'étude des crises dans les internats nous a tout d'abord conduits à mettre en place une méthodologie basée sur la recherche d'éléments favorisant l'émergence de ces crises. Dans un second temps, nous avons analysé leur développement avant de chercher à repérer leur impact dans l'évolution des institutions. Trois phases principales composent cette recherche : tout d'abord, une démarche historique par prélèvements chronologiques nous a amené a comprendre la construction des internats tels que nous les connaissons aujourd'hui et a repérer les troubles fondamentaux auxquels ils ont été soumis tout au long de leur évolution. Dans un second temps, l'analyse des éléments qui composent le monde des internats a permis d'isoler un ensemble d'influences rendant propice l'émergence des crises. Enfin, l'étude monographique d'un internat ayant connu une grave crise institutionnelle nous a donné la possibilité d'appréhender un processus de crise qui s'est développé par vagues successives jusqu'à l'obtention d'un résultat. Les crises des internats se situent comme des instants de visibilité de la crise latente de l'internat
The residential homes seems institutions particularly liable to lead to crises which bring to light their educative ways of care. The study of crises in residential homes has at first directed us to set a methodology based on the search of elements causing the emergence of the crises. Secondly, we have analysed their development before finding their influence on the evolution of institutions. Three main phases compose this research: at first, a historic step by chronological selections has made us understand the creation of residential homes such as we know them nowadays and point out the fundamental troubles townich they have been submitted during their evolution. Then, the analysis of the elementswich compose the life of residential homes have permitted to find the influences which cause the emergence of the crises. At last, the monographic study of a residential home which have knowa serious institutional crisis have given us the possibility to analyse a crisis process which expanded by successive waves till the obtainment of a result. The crises in residential homes are manifestations of a crisis in residential treatment

Abstract:

Humanitarian interventions tend to be justified by claims to the existence of an obligation upon ‘us' (the benevolent saviours) to intervene militarily when a state is responsible for large-scale atrocity crimes against its own population. However, this justification is paradoxical, given that there is rarely held to exist a commensurate obligation to address structural violence (even when ‘we' may be partly responsible for, or complicit within, structures that are violent). The paradox arises because structural violence can be harmful – even evil – in its own right, and can also lead to – or exacerbate – direct violence. Hence, intervening militarily, and inevitably causing further harm in the act of intervening, results in a moral shortfall. This shortfall is indicative of a prevailing understanding of harm that is blind to the potential for structures to be violent. In responding to the paradox, I adopt a critical cosmopolitan perspective to argue that because structural violence can be harmful on a great scale, and because it is co-constitutive of direct violence, we ought not to countenance intervening with the use of military force (with what this brings in the form of inevitable intended and unintended harm) to stop direct violence without also considering and addressing violent structures, especially if they are violent structures that we are, ourselves, embedded within. Therefore, it is morally imperative to engage in an ongoing process of illumination and addressing of evil structures to rectify the harms they cause, alongside any efforts to stem direct violence, if any sort of intervention is to be legitimate and just. This requires us to a) expand our understanding of harm and evil at the global level, and b) engage in consistent and sustained deliberative processes that bring to the forefront structural violence and structural underpinnings of direct violence.

Abstract:

This work presents a historical analysis on the social function of the State and aims to investigate the control exercised by the sociometabolic system of capital in the phase of capitalism of monopolies, through the performance of the State. To do so, it starts from the Marxian perspective of the ontological foundations of the bourgeois state, based on a socio-historical study of the emergence of the state and its social function, as well as the development of the modern state, in its different forms of action in capitalist sociability. It promotes an analysis of the reproduction of the system of capital and the role of the modern state as a structure of political command directed at defending the interests of the economically dominant class, complementing it in an essential way in maintaining the current social order. It seeks to understand how the state in monopoly capitalism reshapes its activities and acts by guaranteeing "supposed" concessions to the working class through the provision of services in the form of rights. It addresses the nature of the structural crisis of capital and its determinations, highlighting the aspects that differentiate it from cyclical crises. Finally, it investigates ways of coping with the structural crisis of capital by the state and the consequences of the "structural adjustments" of this system to the social and working class during the neoliberal offensive of capital. From the research carried out, of a bibliographical nature, it is understood that the State, throughout the development of class societies, operates in the maintenance of the dominant mode of production through mechanisms of coercive character and control over the working class, In order to maintain and reproduce continuously the processes of production and accumulation of wealth, even though ideologically poses the defense of the interests of all men in the reproduction of the current form of sociability.

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise histórica sobre a função social do Estado e tem por objetivo investigar o controle exercido pelo sistema sociometabólico do capital na fase do capitalismo dos monopólios, mediante a atuação do Estado. Para tanto, parte da perspectiva marxiana dos fundamentos ontológicos do Estado burguês, com base em um estudo sócio-histórico do surgimento do Estado e sua função social, assim como do desenvolvimento do Estado moderno, nas suas diferentes formas de atuação na sociabilidade capitalista. Promove uma análise acerca da reprodução do sistema do capital e do papel do Estado moderno como uma estrutura de comando político direcionada a defender os interesses da classe economicamente dominante, complementando-a de forma essencial na manutenção da ordem social vigente. Busca entender como o Estado no capitalismo monopolista redimensiona suas atividades e atua mediante a garantia de “supostas” concessões à classe trabalhadora, através da prestação de serviços na forma de direitos. Aborda a natureza da crise estrutural do capital e suas determinações, destacando os aspectos que a diferenciam das crises cíclicas. E por último, investiga as formas de enfrentamento da crise estrutural do capital pelo Estado e as consequências dos “ajustes estruturais” desse sistema para a área social e a classe trabalhadora, durante a ofensiva neoliberal do capital. A partir da pesquisa realizada, de natureza bibliográfica, entende-se que o Estado, ao longo do desenvolvimento das sociedades de classe, opera na manutenção do modo de produção dominante por meio de mecanismos de caráter coercitivo e de controle sobre a classe trabalhadora, a fim de manter e reproduzir continuamente os processos de produção e acumulação da riqueza, ainda que postule ideologicamente a defesa dos interesses de todos os homens na reprodução da forma de sociabilidade vigente.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the dynamic interaction of social crises and early Japanese religion from the end of the Jomon period to the rise of Kamakura New Buddhism. It does this believing that no history of religion can be fully understood in isolation from the effects of social crises, and that existing studies have not thoroughly examined this mutual interaction. Both natural and social scientists have demonstrated that complex systems are abundant in most social phenomena. The methodology adopted in my research draws on this insight. In order to explore the autocatalytic growth of Japanese religion in the wake of social crises, I apply such new perspectives as the complexity paradigm, the natural lifecycle model, the impact of climate, and the psychological theory of altered states of consciousness (ASCs). In exploring these relationships, this thesis identifies four forms of religious system in the evolution of early Japanese religion. What I have called prototypical Japanese religion prepared the ground for the emergence of archaic religion in the Late Yayoi Archaic religion continued to develop in the form of a politico-religious system, as the so-called keyhole tomb system, but from the end of the Kofun period another new religious system, monastic religion, began to emerge. Monastic religion became the most dominant mode of Japanese religion from the Nara period until it was superseded by a new religious system, which I call confraternal religion, from the late Heian period. The natural lifecycle of each religious system led to the development of the subsequent one. Finally, this thesis presents a conceptual model called passage of consciousness. This suggests that nonequilibrium states of consciousness (NSCs), which are involuntary induced by social crises, created fluid states of consciousness and led not only to the evolution of religion, but also to the evolution of human thought.

Currently the country is facing serious crisis in the electric power sector and energy deficit is no longer a future threat, but a problem today that urgently needs to find solutions for the short, medium and long term. Solutions should be taken with urgency, and here it is noteworthy that the crisis that we now live in the electricity sector is directly related with the lack of planning in the years that have passed. The solutions for the short and medium term, with the exception of energy conservation, are emergency solutions and are more costly to society. And the long-term solutions depend on the direction the government will give the sector. A viable alternative to eliminate the risk of blackout are the increase in investments in generation by power plants programs because their projects are relatively quick to implementation and operation. But can these projects require environmental damage that will undoubtedly need to be studied, from the perspective of environmental law, analyzed and monitored to not sacrifice the environment we live in exchange for the purpose of achieving development. Making up concomitantly required, the monitoring and assessment of legal issues related to these projects, hence proposals that aim to achieve sustainability then be made.
Atualmente o país enfrenta grave crise no setor de energia elétrica e o déficit de energia não é mais uma ameaça do futuro, e sim um problema da atualidade que precisa urgentemente da busca de soluções de curto, médio e longo prazos. Soluções devem ser tomadas com máxima urgência, e aqui vale ressaltar que a crise que vivemos hoje no setor de energia elétrica decorre da falta de planejamento nos anos que se passaram. As soluções de curto e médio prazo, à exceção da conservação de energia, são soluções emergenciais e como tal custam mais caro para a sociedade. E as soluções de longo prazo dependem dos rumos que o Governo dará ao setor. A alternativa viável para não corrermos o risco em ficar sem energia elétrica são os investimentos em programas de aumento em geração através de usinas termoelétricas, pois seus projetos são relativamente rápidos para implantação e operação. Mas consigo estes projetos demandam prejuízos ambientais que indubitavelmente precisam, sob a ótica do direito ambiental, ser estudados, analisados e acompanhados para não sacrificarmos o ambiente em que vivemos em troca do objetivo de se alcançar o desenvolvimento. Fazendo-se concomitantemente necessário o levantamento e avaliação dos aspectos legais relacionados a estes projetos, para daí então ser efetuado propostas que objetivem alcançar a sustentabilidade.

Abstract:

À l'aube du XXIème siècle, les travailleurs sociaux confrontés à de véritables épreuves (changements sociaux, indécisions politiques, remise en cause par les usagers, fin d'un imaginaire de neutralité) perçoivent la société française et leur propre activité à travers un perpétuel sentiment de perte et de chute. Prenant appui sur une enquête de terrain à la fois qualitative et quantitative, sur la presse professionnelle et les différentes lectures sociologiques du travail social, la thèse stipule que la crise tant invoquée par les travailleurs sociaux eux-mêmes est plus imaginaire que réelle. Déjouant les pièges du conservatisme, ils fondent leur credo professionnel sur un principe d'espérance combinant recherche d'une vraie démocratie, anticapitalisme libéral, progressisme mesuré et foi dans la construction européenne. Héros tragiques et romanesques se vivant comme des Justes soumis à un véritable travail de Sisyphe, colonisés par les disciplines universitaires et dépendants de cadres administratifs et médicaux, peu engagés collectivement mais fortement indignés moralement, ils placent leur espoir dans le développement d'un individualisme moral prônant la réalisation de soi. Ils espèrent qu'ainsi leurs clients échapperont aux déterminismes sociaux et psychologiques et influenceront leur destinée. Plus bricoleurs que techniciens, plus moralistes qu'utopistes, les travailleurs sociaux vivent leur propre activité à travers le prisme d'une mauvaise conscience. Pour autant, il faut lire l'imaginaire de la crise non pas simplement comme une excuse, non pas uniquement comme une plainte, encore moins comme un avatar du travail social, mais bien comme une composante fondamentale et existentielle. Véritable mythe constitutif, le sentiment de crise permet aux travailleurs sociaux de mettre à distance les épreuves qu'ils rencontrent au sein des mutations sociales en cours et d'exister au sein des paradoxes multiples inhérents à leur propre activité
In the dawn of the 21st century, social workers confronted by formidable challenges (social changes, political indecisions, upheavals set into motion by factions, end of an imagined neutrality) perceived French society and their own work by means of a perpetual feeling of loss and falling down. Relying on an area survey that is at the same time qualitative and quantitative, on professional journals and on different sociological publications on social work, the thesis stipulates that the crisis so invoked by social workers themselves is more imagined than real. Downplaying the traps of conservatism, they base their professional credo on the principal of hope combining " a quest for a true democracy based on anti-capitalism and measured progressivism, as well as faith in the European construction ". Tragic and romantic heroes living as the " Good " who are subjected to a veritable " condemnation of Sisyphus ", colonized by university disciplines and dependent on administrative and medical frameworks that are collectively very little involved and yet tremendously morally indignant, they place their hope in the development of a " moral individualism " leaning towards " self-fulfillment of the individual ". They hope that in this way their client will escape social and psychological pressures and will influence their destiny. More tinkerers than technicians, more moralists that utopians, social workers live their own work-related activities by means of the prism of a bad conscience. That said, one must read the illusion of crisis not simply as an excuse, not uniquely as a complaint and even less as a guiding principal of social work, but more as a fundamental and existential element. A truly fortifying myth, the feeling of crisis permits social workers to distance themselves from the challenges that they encounter at the core of social mutations that are taking place and to exist in the core of multiple paradoxisms that are inherent in their own work

Los medios tienen un papel significativo en la construcción de relatos sobre sucesos que acontecen en la realidad, y ponen en discusión temas y posiciones en el espacio público. La presente investigación tiene como finalidad analizar la influencia de los frames1 mediáticos2 en los frames individuales de pensamiento3 de los jóvenes universitarios en Lima de 16 a 24 años sobre el conflicto por el proyecto Minas Conga, durante la crisis de finales del 2011. Identifica la percepción de los jóvenes respecto al conflicto, determina los encuadres más representativos en las noticias online publicadas durante esta etapa, y sus efectos sobre las percepciones preexistentes (framing effect). Los tres tipos de marcos interpretativos utilizados en el estudio generan un efecto diferenciado en relación con el rol de los actores, las causas del conflicto y sus alternativas de gestión, debido a los objetivos y estrategias empleados por el medio de comunicación en la construcción de la noticia.
The media have a significant role in the construction of narratives about events that take place in reality, and they put into discussion various issues and positions in the public space. The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of communication on the individual frames of young university students in Lima, from 16 to 24 of age, about the Conga conflict during its crisis at the end of 2011. It identifies the students’ perception of the conflict, it determines the most representative elements in the online news published during this time, and its effects on pre-existing perceptions (framing effect). The three types of frames used in the study generate a differentiated framing effect in relation to the role of the actors, the causes of the conflict and the alternatives for managing it, due to the objectives and strategies used by the media in the construction of the news.
