Rede social de excelência: qualidade na participação institucional: O caso de Moura

O problema da falta de participação cívica é uma das condicionantes para o desenvolvimento local de qualquer território, pelo que devem ser estruturadas medidas e processos que facilitem e incentivem uma participação mais ativa, pautada por critérios de qualidade. É nesse sentido que o presente trabalho de investigação, tendo por base a aplicação de um inquérito por questionário a todos os dirigentes e técnicos envolvidos na Rede Social de Moura e a realização de uma sessão focus group com os membros do Núcleo Executivo, apresenta os processos de participação existentes e a desenvolver no programa e, desta forma, elabora um modelo de participação institucional de qualidade, com base nas orientações da ISO 9001 e respetivos oito princípios (enfoque no cliente, liderança, envolvimento dos colaboradores, abordagem por processos, abordagem sistemática da gestão, melhoria contínua, abordagem factual para a tomada de decisão e relações de mútuo beneficio com fornecedores). ABSTRACT: The problem of the lack of civic participation is one of the setbacks of local development in every territory, thus making it necessary to structure measures and processes to ease and encourage a more active participation, ruled by quality criteria.

SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF BASICS LIFE SUPPORT

Victims of cardiac arrest need immediate Basic Life Support, in order to preserve as much as possible, the flow of blood to the brain and heart and other vital organs, it is essential to gain time pending differentiated help, performing simple acts and practical (BLS) to save lives. Learn how to perform RPC is an interactive process that requires knowledge and skills, but at the same time an act of solidarity, social responsibility, civic consciousness, and a duty of citizenship. Because no one revives alone, it requires a coordinated work of a team, all citizens must join forces in a single goal: Save Lives, the massification of the BLS (RPC, 2014). We conducted an exploratory study that aimed to identify the social representations of basic life support in the general population. We used the technique of free association of words through a short questionnaire, we obtained a sample of 45 participants. The results show that participants were mostly female and 27 that fashion of age was in the age group 40 to 59 years. With regard to social representations, we find an organized structure follows the core: help, help to revive, and save is giving life, are in fact structural and consensual elements in basic life support. In more peripheral elements we find extremely important elements, which can be worked in a way so that the core is more efficient such as to act coordinately as a team in face of an accident, it can thus be successful in practice. The social representation of basic life support does not differ from that referred in the literature on the subject, but it is common knowledge that these skills can only be acquired if they are systematically trained, because they obey an algorithm that if it is not settled theoretical and instrumentally it is not effective in practice.

Moçambique: educação e VIH/SIDA: as perspectivas dos professores e directores face ao VIH/SIDA na realidade ecolar

Esta dissertação centra-se na análise da perspectiva dos directores/ professores de Educação Cívica e Moral da 6ª e 7ª das Escolas Primárias e Completas (EPCs) na realidade do VIHISIDA nessas mesmas escolas, considerando as representações que estes actores têm face a esta patologia. Este estudo visa apreender a construção da resposta ao fenómeno no quotidiano escolar. Pretende, igualmente, avaliar as representações dos actores face às intervenções e hipóteses de melhoria da resposta dada. E, ainda, chamar a atenção da sociedade, do ministério e da escola, para a necessidade de se ouvir as diversidades que caracterizam as escolas na resposta ao VIH/SIDA. O trabalho de campo foi realizado nas EPCs do Distrito de Quelimane e Nicoadala, com base em entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas aos Directores e aos professores da província da Zambézia. Foi igualmente feita recolha documental e bibliográfica, tendo-se recorrido ao apoio de teorias pertinentes ao estudo. Face à investigação realizada, podemos concluir que, apesar do envolvimento dos actores locais no processo de prevenção do VIH/SIDA, existem carências e lacunas a nível da respectiva formação pedagógica e epidemiológica, a nível das condições de trabalho e no que diz respeito às fracas articulações entre o Ministério da Educação e o Ministério da Saúde. ABSTRACT: This dissertation focuses on the perspectives of the principals/teachers of civic and moral education of the 6th and 7th classes o EPC’s on the reality on HIV/AIDS in schools, considering the representation that they have on this pathology. This study aims to understand the construction of responses to the phenomenon in the everyday life. It also aims to take a closer look at the representations of the actors on the interventions and the possibilities of improving the daily responses of the EPC's. Another aspect that was considered was of the society, the ministry and schools on the relevance of listening and nuances of schools in response to HIVIAIDS. Based on the fieldwork in the districts of Quelimane and Nicoadala, semi-structured interviews with school principals/ teachers were carried out as well as the collection of documents, bibliographies and the support of pertinent theories. According to this research we can conclude that besides the local actors' involvements in the prevention process of HIVIAIDS, there are lacks and needs on teaching training and on epidemics, on working conditions and a weak dialogue between Education and Health Ministries.
