Au Canada et au Québec, au cours des années 2000, la migration des travailleurs qualifiés originaires d’Amérique du Sud a connu une croissance très rapide. Pourtant, ce flux migratoire et sa composante féminine ne semblent pas avoir fait l’objet d’une lecture sociologique. Ce travail vise à combler quelques lacunes dans ce domaine des connaissances, en examinant le processus d’intégration économique d’immigrantes d’origine sud-américaine arrivées durant cette décennie. L’étude comprend l’analyse de 16 cas de femmes originaires de divers pays d’Amérique du Sud qui ont un diplôme universitaire ou l’équivalent, qui avaient déjà une expérience de travail dans leur pays d’origine et qui possèdent une bonne maîtrise de la langue française. Les questions qui guident cette recherche dépassent l’aspect statistique ou sociodémographique d’un groupe non étudié dans le contexte canadien. Le but principal de ce mémoire consiste à examiner l’importance d’une variété de ressources culturelles et symboliques qui sont déployées tout au long du processus d’intégration socioéconomique par des immigrantes sud-américaines de la catégorie des « travailleurs qualifiés » dans le contexte montréalais. Dans ce but, l’étude analyse comment les ressources acquises dans la société d’origine ont des impacts sur le parcours professionnel de ces femmes, en leur permettant de définir des stratégies d’intégration sur le marché du travail dans la société réceptrice. L’analyse se déploie à partir de la problématisation des facteurs construits socioculturellement comme catégories de structuration et de hiérarchisation qui, selon le contexte, définissent la position sociale et qui, à travers l’expérience, expliquent la position situationnelle des immigrantes sud-américaines. L’accès, l’utilisation et la mobilisation des ressources pour définir des stratégies d’intégration socioprofessionnelle sont analysés à partir de quatre axes : l’expérience, la dimension intersubjective, le contexte institutionnel et organisationnel, et finalement, la dimension représentationnelle.

Depuis la dernière décennie, les outils technologiques et informatiques ont connu un essor considérable dans plusieurs sphères d’activité de la société. L’éducation n’y a pas échappé, et le ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS) en a d’ailleurs fait une compétence transversale dans le cadre du Programme de formation de l’école québécoise. L’intégration des TIC s’est faite à travers différents moyens, à commencer par les laboratoires informatiques, les ordinateurs à même la salle de classe et, plus récemment, par l’introduction de projets portables où chaque élève et l’enseignant disposent de leur propre ordinateur. Afin d’être mené à terme, ce projet de recherche a été inscrit dans un projet à plus grande échelle, soit celui d’une recherche financée par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH), qui a pour objectif d'analyser les obstacles auxquels font face les enseignants dans l'intégration des technologies à l'école. Le présent projet s'est quant à lui attardé plus spécifiquement aux défis technologiques et pédagogiques inhérents aux projets portables. L’étude s'est déroulée en milieu défavorisé, dans une école primaire montréalaise. Une telle intégration demande une planification rigoureuse et un suivi continu afin d’assurer le succès du projet. De plus, il est évident que ce type de projet pose aussi des défis technologiques et pédagogiques particuliers pour les enseignants. À ce sujet, trois catégories de facteurs qui peuvent avoir un impact sur la réussite des projets portables ont été relevées, soit : les facteurs personnels (internes à l’enseignant), les facteurs relatifs au travail (contexte d'enseignement, pratiques pédagogiques, etc.), ainsi que les facteurs relatifs au matériel et à l’infrastructure. À l’intérieur de ce mémoire, différents concepts, dimensions et indicateurs sont donc explicités et mis en relation afin de mieux comprendre les défis technologiques et pédagogiques qui peuvent survenir dans le cadre de la mise en oeuvre de projets portables. Trois enseignantes rattachées à autant de groupes d’élèves ont accepté de participer à une entrevue individuelle et de répondre à un questionnaire. Les échanges par courriel ont aussi été analysés. L'ensemble des données recueillies ont fait l'objet d'analyses qualitatives. Les analyses ont montré que la catégorie de facteurs citée la plus fréquemment était celle des facteurs relatifs au travail avec une forte majorité. Des défis ont toutefois été identifiés pour toutes les dimensions.

The requirements in the world of work in the contemporary impact on quality of life, health workers in their relations with users and other professionals of the healthcare team. Given this reality, this study discusses the working conditions in health and disease process of (a) having social goals as analyze the implications of working conditions in the disease (the) social workers in state hospitals Metropolitan Region Christmas (NMR); identify the main diseases affecting social workers in hospitals in the SESAP NMR and reveal the relationship between the disease processes of social and working conditions in hospitals in the state NMR. The research was guiding questions to reveal how to configure the work, conditions of work and of the disease process (the) social worker. To grasp the socioeconomic profile of (the) social workers, the characterization of the work, duties and responsibilities in the sociooccupational, factors that interfere with the disease process of (the) social workers of RMN, and actions and investments Policy on Occupational Health RN correlating to illness today is that we set for the unveiling of the movement of the object of study through the methodological approach with documentary research aimed at literature review; extensive direct observation correlated to real life observation and application of 66 (sixty-six) questionnaires. The data from the closed questions were treated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The open questions were transcribed and then analyzed the light of theoretical work on the subject. The research reveals that social workers are subject to conditions and labor relations precarious illness causing health problems because some of these professionals, among them are: stress, allergies and skin conditions or, Read / WMSD among other diseases. Thus, we understand the need for debates about the relationship work (the) social worker and worker health before the contradictions of capital also present in public health services

The aim of this study was to investigate the social representation of technological education teachers at the Federal Technological Education Network. The survey was conducted from 2007 to 2010, and the respondents were 275 teachers, 135 of the Federal Center for Technological Education (CEFET in portuguese) in the state of Amazonas, in Manaus unit headquarters; 140 of the CEFET in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, a unit based in Natal. We adopt the concept of technological education as the top level of professional education, that is to say, the undergraduate programs of short duration called technological courses. The Federal Technological Education Network gathers hundreds of related institutions, coordinated and supervised by the Office of Vocational and Technological Education of the Ministry of Education. Although many of these institutions offer courses in technology education, no research addressing this subject from the perspective of Social Representations Theory (SRT) was found in the literature. We seek to unravel the social representation of technological education of the teachers by adopting the procedural approach of SRT. This is a qualitative approach, focusing on significant aspects of the representative activity and the formation mechanisms of the representation. Therefore, we search the socio-genesis of the representation in the articulations between discourses, social institutions and practices. We initiated the research through applying critical reading and an analytical perspective on the historical and regulatory documents of technological education in Brazil, from the early twentieth century to the present day. We adopt the Procedure for Multiple Classifications (PMC) from the Free Words Association Technique (FWAT) to access the elements of representational content. For the analysis of the data obtained with FWAT and selection of major words / phrases pertinent to the semantic field of education technology, we used Hamlet II software. For the data analysis of PMC and Free Classification (FC) we used the SPSS ® (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 17.0 and used the method of multidimensional scaling - Multidimensional scaling - (MDS). The output from the central MDS takes the form of a set of scatterplots - "perceptual maps" - of which the points are the elements of the representational content. For the FC data analysis we used the Scalogram Multidimensional Analysis (SMA) - which makes use of the original data in its raw form and allows categorical data to be interpreted in the map as measures of (di)similarity. In order to help with the understanding of the settings of the perceptual maps of FC, we used the Content Analysis of the discourse fragments of the teachers interviewed. The results confirm our initial hypothesis regarding the presence of a single plot among the socio-cognitive study subjects, which is the basis for a social representation of technological education in line with the historic assumption of the dichotomy between mental and manual labor. In spite of the three merging representational elements of the representational content, the perceptual maps compiled from the MSA statistics corroborates the dichotomy, with the exception of the map relating to the subgroup of teachers belonging to the humanities

Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA) is the measurement of variation in different isotopes of same elements in a material. This technique is well-established in the natural sciences and has been long part of the methodological arsenal in fields such as geology and biology. More recently this technique has begun to be utilized in the social sciences, moving from initial applications in anthropology to potential uses in geography, public health, forensic science, and others. This presentation will discuss the techniques behind SIRA, examples of current applications in the natural and social sciences, and potential avenues of future research.

Objective. To explore issues in current literature concerning possible social and economic ramifications of pharmacogenomic research. Design. Review of the literature. Data sources: Academic Search Premier, Blackwell Synergy, PUBMED and Social Sciences Citation Index. Review methods. Articles dealing with the social and economic ramifications of pharmacogenomic research were selected. The articles discussed at least one of 5 areas (race, privacy/confidentiality, ethics, insurance, and research and development). Some restrictions were placed on the articles chosen to narrow down the number of articles to a relevant, manageable amount. Results. Approximately 219 articles were selected for review; 159 were fully reviewed and found to be relevant to the issues; and 33 were cited. Conclusion. Insurance and research and development decisions are led by the free-market system with limited intervention from government. Race/ethnicity, privacy/confidentiality, and ethics continue to be debated with no clear answer. However, some compromise is regulated by government based upon current laws involving these issues. ^

Las ciencias sociales en su versión clásica -adoptando como modelo a las ciencias naturales- se centraron en el estudio de los hechos empíricos con la pretensión de arribar a un conocimiento objetivo de la realidad. Desde este enfoque la ciencia deviene una representación teórica de la naturaleza, mientras lo real se constituye con independencia de la mente humana. Pero, durante el pasado siglo, los fundamentos mismos del conocimiento - el estatuto ontológico y epistemológico, tanto del objeto como el sujeto- serán cuestionados. En este nuevo enfoque, el lenguaje -y la comunicación- devienen los recursos a través de los cuales los individuos y los grupos construyen su vida cotidiana en tanto el interés se orienta a develar los procesos de construcción de sentido. Esta perspectiva modifica radicalmente el paradigma prevaleciente en las ciencias sociales; sin embargo, la discusión acerca de su validez no ha sido resuelta, en particular porque en ella se encuentran involucradas algunas de las principales cuestiones de la modernidad y la posmodernidad. Así, el artículo se propone considerar los principales elementos que configuran este enfoque, identificando las distintas corrientes que conviven en su interior, las principales críticas y específicamente, las consecuencias que se derivan tanto desde la perspectiva de la producción del conocimiento como en relación al estudio de la sociedad

The purpose of this paper is to characterize the configurations of the families that live in contexts of social exclusion; provide conceptualizations of their operation mode; highlight the formative effects that neighborhood interdisciplinary practices with such families produce in the just graduated psychologists, included on the Extension Program. We wish to contribute to produce systematic knowledge that can account for such family configurations as potential receiver of integration policies. We are also interested on transferring the approach to diversity in the training of young professionals, in order not to be regarded as a deviation from ideal models, but as an expression of different strategies built by members of a community, to resolve children breeding and to bear their existences. This work is the result about reflections on productions inside a research fellowship: The complexities that takes the breeding in families who lives in a social exclusion situation; researches about breeding, carried out from signature Developmental Psychology II, and from de interdisciplinary work with psychologically assisted families in twelve suburbs of the city of La Plata (University Extension Program "Free Legal Offices" (Convention between Law and Social Sciences and Psychology Faculties, U.N.L.P.). From a qualitative methodology and an interdisciplinary participation, the results have arrive at the characterization and proposed conceptualizations of the included families and at the same time determine the benefits that brings with the work that articulates research and extension activities for the training of advanced students and young graduates.
