Esta pesquisa teve como objeto de estudo a acessibilidade física na Universidade Federal do Pará- (UFPA) no período de 2009 a 2013. Nesse mote, valemo-nos do estudo de caso por meio do qual compreendemos o contexto da referida universidade como representativo na questão do acesso de Pessoas com deficiência ao ensino superior. Tivemos o objetivo de analisar as condições de acessibilidade física no campus da UFPA em Belém, segundo a avaliação de estudantes com deficiência. Para tanto, buscamos identificar o que caracterizaria um espaço com acessibilidade física, sob a ótica dos estudantes com deficiência da universidade, compreender as implicações das atuais condições de acessibilidade física da universidade na vida acadêmica dos estudantes com deficiência dessa instituição e verificar que obras de acessibilidade física deveriam ser realizadas para garantir o ingresso e permanência de estudantes com deficiência na UFPA, segundo a opinião desses acadêmicos. A abordagem metodológica adotada foi qualitativa. A coleta de dados contou com entrevista semiestruturada de 5 estudantes com deficiência. Também realizamos entrevista não- diretiva com o arquiteto do Departamento de Estrutura Física- (DIESF) da prefeitura da UFPA, investigação dos documentos que apontam as construções/reformas realizadas na universidade e registros fotográficos dessas obras. Para análise de dados referendamo-nos na Análise de Conteúdo de Franco. Por meio das falas dos estudantes pudemos inferir que a acessibilidade física não é um conceito universal, mas construído na relação sujeito-ambiente, concebida, sobretudo, como acesso para todos. Verificamos que o acesso ao campus é essencial para a socialização do conhecimento entre os estudantes e que, diante das barreiras encontradas na estrutura física da UFPA, os discentes sugerem a expansão das atuais obras de acessibilidade física, bem como o fomento a pesquisas que abordem a acessibilidade física no ensino superior.

Esta pesquisa surgiu pela necessidade de conhecimento acerca do trabalho realizado no processo de avaliação interna de instituições federais de ensino superior. Este tipo de trabalho vem sendo realizado desde a década de 1990, por meio de várias políticas públicas traduzidas em programas que pudessem avaliar a qualidade da educação superior devido ao aumento no quantitativo de instituições de ensino superior, tanto públicas quanto privadas. Desta forma, hoje, não mais se discute a implementação de um processo avaliativo, mas a forma que deve ser trabalhado nas instituições de ensino superior. A política mais atual nesta temática se traduz no sistema nacional de avaliação da educação superior (SINAES), instituído pela Lei 10.861/2004, o qual tornou obrigatória, dentre outras, a autoavaliação institucional, a ser realizada pela Comissão Própria de Avaliação (CPA), também de caráter obrigatória, constante no Art. 11º da lei do SINAES. Este estudo faz parte do questionamento acerca do trabalho da CPA, de modo que a sua constituição, sua localização na estrutura organizacional e a metodologia utilizada pela CPA poderiam influenciar no resultado final, que é o relatório de autoavaliação institucional, utilizado pelo sistema e-MEC e pelas comissões de avaliação externas. O objetivo foi analisar as CPAs de três instituições federais de ensino superior, escolhidas por sua experiência na temática, quanto: à composição, tanto no quantitativo quanto na categoria de seus membros; à localização da CPA na estrutura organizacional, de modo a verificar seu grau de autonomia; e à metodologia utilizada pelas CPAs na condução do processo avaliativo. Partiu-se do pressuposto que essas variáveis, quando aplicadas em cada instituição, poderiam levar a formas de trabalho e resultados diferenciados. Para tanto, optou-se por um Estudo de Caso, com predominância na pesquisa qualitativa, utilizando: pesquisa bibliográfica, com autores da teoria geral dos sistemas e avaliação; pesquisa documental; e entrevistas junto aos presidentes das CPAs das instituições analisadas. Chegou-se à conclusão que, embora os resultados possam ser diferentes em termos de qualidade dos relatórios, problemas em relação à autonomia, hierarquia e ao reconhecimento da CPA frente aos outros órgãos da administração superior, à relação avaliação e planejamento e à instituição de uma cultura de avaliação são observados nas três instituições estudadas.

The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the conceptions of a group of teachers in cycle-1 elementary school on intellectual disability and assessment of school learning. It is a qualitative research that used a semi-structured interview script for its investigation. The teachers' reports showed some weakness and lack of preparation to deal with the inclusion of pupils with intellectual disabilities, and consequently difficult to assess their learning conditions. It was also found that the assessment used by them was characterized by sluggish and it was based mainly on the use of quantitative measuring instruments. Such instruments shortly guide the process of teaching and learning, consequently do not contribute to effective the inclusion of these school students.

The study presents the construction process of research methodology "Training in SUS Humanization: effects evaluation of training processes from institutional supporters on health productionin Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and São Paulo territories." There was a search for developing an appropriate evaluative practice to the training processes, a methodology that instead of evaluating on something, assessed along with the supporters who attended the training-intervention, a participatory methodology.Therefore, the constitution of the Research Interest Group was an eminent tool. Trained supporters comprised the research team to expand participatory possibilities of a large and dispersed group, producing interferences in the investigative process conduction, described and analyzed in the study.At the same time, their experiences interfered in the understandings they had until then about the intervention-training experiences and effects on their daily lives, after almost four years.Thus, the methodological approach was intrinsically linked to the construction of a subjectivity differentiated plan and necessarily collective, which shifted the position of supporters involved from mere data suppliers to a lateralityposition in relation to other actors.The trial afforded by participatory strategies allowed researchers and supporters to interfere and compose the evaluation scenario with remarkable performances throughout the investigative process.The survey configuration was like a bet on a given methodological architecture that, in seeking to overcome evaluator-evaluated logic produced information for (retro) feedingthe intervention triggered by it. In the formative dimension, it also went through working processes analyzed by supporters rescuing the indissoluble characteristic that health activities mobilize among intervening, training and reviewing.

With the wide variety of content to be worked out what really is expected of students in curricular physical education component? And as teachers conduct and evaluate this learning? These processes occur in the same way in public and private institutions? What is the relationship of the assessment with the students, with content and with the school? These were questions that motivated this research, which aims to conduct a desk review involving different schools, and interview their teachers, in order to identify possible relationships between teachers, students and educational institutions when referring to the assessment of physical education, between schools in different school systems (private, state and municipal), specifically from 6th to 9th grade. The survey was conducted in three different schools in the city Bauru/SP, being a private school, a school hall and a state school, and their physical education teachers. As a methodological reference was used qualitative research, and documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews were the techniques used for data collection. The data collected were tabulated and analyzed separately, and after the first analysis were separated into four categories that related to the study of literature review, interviews of teachers and the political projects of schools teaching (the documents that were analyzed). After the analysis performed it was revealed that the ways teachers surveyed perform their assessments contradicts the main problems and difficulties found in the literature. And regardless of the demands made by the educational institution that really influences the evaluation in physical education classes is the commitment and professional commitment to his students and his principles

A Qualitative Analysis of Youth Feedback of Nutrition School Enrichment Kits in Lincoln, NE Richard A. Losey, M.S. University of Nebraska, 2010 Advisor: Wanda M. Koszewski The qualitative analysis of the responses given by students participating in classrooms that used the Nutrition Education Program‟s (NEP) school enrichment kits was the primary focus of this research. Data was collected from the participants in written form. Three major themes appeared during analysis of the data, healthy eating habits, cleanliness and change. The theme of healthy eating habits is comprised of the following sub-themes: breakfast, nutrients, label reading, Food Guide Pyramid/MyPyramid and healthy snacks. Cleanliness is comprised of hand washing and food safety sub-themes. The change theme is made up of change in healthy eating habits, change in cleanliness and change in both healthy eating habits and cleanliness. The data suggests that participating students have made or intend to make changes regarding healthy eating habits and cleanliness, which is the goal of nutrition education. The students‟ responses indicate that the NEP school enrichment kits are effective in increasing the knowledge of students and promoting healthy lifestyle changes.

In questo lavoro di tesi si è elaborato un quadro di riferimento per l’utilizzo combinato di due metodologie di valutazione di impatti LCA e RA, per tecnologie emergenti. L’originalità dello studio sta nell’aver proposto e anche applicato il quadro di riferimento ad un caso studio, in particolare ad una tecnologia innovativa di refrigerazione, basata su nanofluidi (NF), sviluppata da partner del progetto Europeo Nanohex che hanno collaborato all’elaborazione degli studi soprattutto per quanto riguarda l’inventario dei dati necessari. La complessità dello studio è da ritrovare tanto nella difficile integrazione di due metodologie nate per scopi differenti e strutturate per assolvere a quegli scopi, quanto nel settore di applicazione che seppur in forte espansione ha delle forti lacune di informazioni circa processi di produzione e comportamento delle sostanze. L’applicazione è stata effettuata sulla produzione di nanofluido (NF) di allumina secondo due vie produttive (single-stage e two-stage) per valutare e confrontare gli impatti per la salute umana e l’ambiente. Occorre specificare che il LCA è stato quantitativo ma non ha considerato gli impatti dei NM nelle categorie di tossicità. Per quanto concerne il RA è stato sviluppato uno studio di tipo qualitativo, a causa della problematica di carenza di parametri tossicologici e di esposizione su citata avente come focus la categoria dei lavoratori, pertanto è stata fatta l’assunzione che i rilasci in ambiente durante la fase di produzione sono trascurabili. Per il RA qualitativo è stato utilizzato un SW specifico, lo Stoffenmanger-Nano che rende possibile la prioritizzazione dei rischi associati ad inalazione in ambiente di lavoro. Il quadro di riferimento prevede una procedura articolata in quattro fasi: DEFINIZIONE SISTEMA TECNOLOGICO, RACCOLTA DATI, VALUTAZIONE DEL RISCHIO E QUANTIFICAZIONE DEGLI IMPATTI, INTERPRETAZIONE.

Background Low back pain (LBP) is one of the major concerns in health care. In Switzerland, musculoskeletal problems represent the third largest illness group with 9.4 million consultations per year. The return to work rate is increased by an active treatment program and saves societal costs. However, results after rehabilitation are generally poorer in patients with a Southeast European cultural background than in other patients. This qualitative research about the rehabilitation of patients with LBP and a Southeast European cultural background, therefore, explores possible barriers to successful rehabilitation. Methods We used a triangulation of methods combining three qualitative methods of data collection: 13 semi-structured in-depth interviews with patients who have a Southeast European cultural background and live in Switzerland, five semi-structured in-depth interviews and two focus groups with health professionals, and a literature review. Between June and December 2008, we recruited participants at a Rehabilitation Centre in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Results To cope with pain, patients prefer passive strategies, which are not in line with recommended coping strategies. Moreover, the families of patients tend to support passive behaviour and reduce the autonomy of patients. Health professionals and researchers propagate active strategies including activity in the presence of pain, yet patients do not consider psychological factors contributing to LBP. The views of physicians and health professionals are in line with research evidence demonstrating the importance of psychosocial factors for LBP. Treatment goals focusing on increasing daily activities and return to work are not well understood by patients partly due to communication problems, which is something that patients and health professionals are aware of. Additional barriers to returning to work are caused by poor job satisfaction and other work-related factors. Conclusions LBP rehabilitation can be improved by addressing the following points. Early management of LBP should be activity-centred instead of pain-centred. It is mandatory to implement return to work management early, including return to adapted work, to improve rehabilitation for patients. Rehabilitation has to start when patients have been off work for three months. Using interpreters more frequently would improve communication between health professionals and patients, and reduce misunderstandings about treatment procedures. Special emphasis must be put on the process of goal-formulation by spending more time with patients in order to identify barriers to goal attainment. Information on the return to work process should also include the financial aspects of unemployment and disability.

Efforts have been made to provide a scientific basis for using environmental services as a conceptual tool to enhance conservation and improve livelihoods in protected mountain areas (MtPAS). Little attention has been paid to participatory research or locals’ concerns as environmental service (ES) users and providers. Such perspectives can illuminate the complex interplay between mountain ecosystems, environmental services and the determinants of human well-being. Repeat photography, long used in geographical fieldwork, is new as a qualitative research tool. This study uses a novel application of repeat photography as a diachronic photo-diary to examine local perceptions of change in ES in Sagarmatha National Park. Results show a consensus among locals on adverse changes to ES, particularly protection against natural hazards, such as landslides and floods, in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. We argue that our methodology could complement biophysical ecosystem assessments in MtPAS, especially since assessing ES, and acting on that, requires integrating diverse stakeholders’ knowledge, recognizing power imbalances and grappling with complex social-ecological systems.
