Cartografia das aprendizagens formais para adultos na cidade de Estremoz: o período 2000-2005

O presente trabalho centra-se no levantamento das entidades promotoras de certificação formal, académica ou profissional, na cidade de Estremoz, direcionadas a adultos, no respeitante ao ensino não superior. Assumindo como ponto de partida a identificação desta oferta, pretende-se delinear um desenho cartográfico que permita conhecer e caracterizar a oferta de qualificação existente entre 2000/2005. Pretende-se compreender como esta contribuiu para a qualificação do público adulto, e, perceber, se foi ao encontro das necessidades socioeconómicas desta cidade, tentando compreender qual o seu impacto no que concerne ao desenvolvimento social e humano. Identificadas as entidades existentes, sustentada numa abordagem quantitativa, foram aplicados dois questionários visando caracterizar a educação formal, e, qual o seu contributo para o desenvolvimento deste público específico tendo-se verificado alguma preocupação em responder às necessidades sociais identificadas. Considera-se ainda a existência de um aumento na oferta formativa ao longo do tempo, associado à melhoria do desempenho profissional em que se estabelece uma relação entre empregabilidade e qualificação juntamente com a preocupação de promover a formação holística do cidadão; ABSTRACT:This paper focuses on the survey of promoters of formal certification, academic or professional, in Estremoz, aimed at adults, with respect to non-higher education. Taking as its starting point the identification of this offering, it is intend to outline a cartographic design to ascertain and characterize the range of qualifications between 2000/2005. The objective is to understand how this contributed to the qualification of the adult public, and notice if it was according the socioeconomic needs of the city, trying to understand its impact regarding social and human development. Identified existing entities, sustained in a quantitative methodology, two questionnaires were applied to characterize the formal education, what their contribution to the development of this specific audience and there has been some concern in responding to social needs identified. It is further considered that there is an increase in training provision over time associated with the improvement of professional performance which establishes a relationship between employability and qualification concerning the promotion of holistic formation of the citizen.

Plan de Desarrollo Institucional para la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UNAM 2005-2009

Al asumir la dirección de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, el 27 de febrero de 2001, la tarea más urgente que tenía que impulsar era la reconstitución de los vínculos comunitarios, entre profesores, alumnos, trabajadores y autoridades, a fin de establecer un ethos universitario que permitiese reanimar la vida académica de la Facultad en todas sus expresiones y niveles, acorde con la tradición humanista que la ha caracterizado durante cuatro siglos y medio. Para ello se hacía indispensable fortalecer y ampliar la participación de los diferentes sectores de la Facultad en los órganos colegiados y en las actividades académicas. Con este fin propuse al Consejo Técnico la reconstitución de los Comités Académicos de carrera, a través de la elección de representantes de profesores y alumnos. Estos órganos de representación académica han servido para promover la comunicación de alumnos y profesores de cada colegio, organizar eventos académicos relevantes, analizar y opinar sobre la plantilla de contrataciones y resolver por medio del diálogo los conflictos que en ocasiones ocurren entre profesores y alumnos.

Estimating bottom properties with a vector sensor array during MakaiEx 2005

Nowadays, vector sensors which measure both acoustic pressure and particle velocity begin to be available in underwater acoustic systems, normally configured as vector sensor arrays (VSA). The spatial filtering capabilities of a VSA can be used, with advantage over traditional pressure only hydrophone arrays, for estimating acoustic field directionality as well as arrival times and spectral content, which could open up the possibility for its use in bottom properties' estimation. An additional motivation for this work is to test the possibility of using high frequency probe signals (say above 2 kHz) for reducing size and cost of actual sub bottom profilers and current geoacoustic inversion methods. This work studies the bottom related structure of the VSA acquired signals, regarding the emitted signal waveform, frequency band and source-receiver geometry in order to estimate bottom properties, specially bottom reflection coefficient characteristics. Such a system was used during the Makai 2005 experiment, off Kauai I., Hawai (USA) to receive precoded signals in a broad frequency band from 8 up to 14 kHz. The agreement between the observed and the modelled acoustic data is discussed and preliminary results on the bottom reflection estimation are presented.

Étude de la représentation du curé dans deux films québécois La petite Aurore l'enfant martyre (1952) et Aurore (2005)

Ce mémoire porte sur la représentation du curé dans les films La petite Aurore l'enfant martyre (Jean-Yves Bigras, 1952) et Aurore (Luc Dionne, 2005). L'objectif principal est d'identifier l'image que l'on présente du curé dans ces deux oeuvres. L'étude de cette représentation permet de cerner les discours portés par ces deux films à travers le personnage du curé et d'apprécier dans quelle mesure ces discours filmiques témoignent du caractère de la société québécoise à deux époques déterminées, soit les années 1950 et les années 2000. Inscrite dans le champ des études culturelles, la recherche se fonde sur quatre axes théoriques principaux : la représentation, l'interprétation, la mythologie et l'analyse filmique. Les travaux de Stuart Hall, d'Umberto Eco et de Roland Barthes constituent le cadre théorique. L'approche de l'analyse de contenu s'inspire des travaux de Laurence Bardin et l'analyse filmique, de ceux de Jean Mitry, d'Anne Goliot-Lété et de Francis Vanoye, entre autres. La procédure de recherche consiste dans le découpage des éléments constitutifs de chaque film en plans, séquences et extraits, de manière à déconstruire les récits filmiques et à faire émerger les facteurs signifiants susceptibles de permettre de reconstituer le sens à travers la reconstruction du rôle du curé et la caractérisation du personnage dans chacun des films. La démarche d'interprétation s'appuie sur une série de thèmes sous lesquels se classent, en opposition souvent, les attributs des deux personnages, comme l'apparence générale, l'intégration au milieu, l'intellectualité, la figure d'autorité, le conformisme et la responsabilité. L'hypothèse principale formulée dans le cadre de la problématique se trouve validée. La représentation du curé dans le film de 1952 offre une image idéalisée du « bon curé », laquelle est conforme au discours dominant de son époque de production. Dans le film de 2005, on délaisse plutôt l'image idéalisée pour revêtir le curé d'attributs négatifs et le rendre responsable, en grande partie, du drame vécu par Aurore. De plus, les trois hypothèses secondaires ont pu aussi être validées : la représentation du curé en 2005 est liée à une plus grande sensibilité au phénomène de la maltraitance des enfants et au besoin d'en identifier les responsables; le transfert de responsabilité vers le curé semble le reflet de reproches adressés par la société québécoise au clergé pour des fautes du passé et la représentation péjorative du curé de 2005, où l'on insiste sur son caractère froid et distant, ne choque plus personne. Porteuse de plusieurs mythes, dont certains rejoignent les fondements de l'identité québécoise, l'histoire d'Aurore fait partie intégrante du patrimoine culturel. Les relectures de cette triste affaire au fil des ans traduisent aussi les changements qui marquent la société québécoise, en particulier dans son rapport au clergé et à la religion.

Stellenabbau im Pflegedienst der Krankenhäuser. Eine Analyse der Entwicklung zwischen 1991 und 2005

Hintergrund: Seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre findet ein Stellenabbau in Krankenhäusern statt, von dem insbesondere auch der Pflegedienst betroffen ist. Obwohl die Tatsache seit längerem bekannt ist, fehlt es noch an einer gründlichen Analyse und Aufbereitung der verfügbaren Daten, um sich ein fundiertes Bild über den Umfang, die Entwicklung, Ursachen und Auswirkungen machen zu können. Methoden: Primäre Datengrundlage sind die Daten der Krankenhausstatistik sowie der Gesundheitsausgabenrechnung des Statistisches Bundesamtes. Ergebnisse: Die Analyse führt zu dem Ergebnis, dass zwischen 1995 und 2005 insgesamt ca. 104.000 Vollzeitstellen für nicht-ärztliches Personal in Allgemeinkrankenhäusern abgebaut wurden. Der ärztliche Dienst wurde hingegen um ca. 19.000 Vollkräfte ausgebaut. Im Saldo ergibt dies einen Gesamtstellenabbau von ca. 85.000 Vollkräften. Der größte Teil des Stellenabbaus entfiel mit ca. 44.000 Vollzeitstellen auf den Pflegedienst. Im Jahr 2005 lag die Zahl der Vollkräfte im Pflegedienst der Allgemeinkrankenhäuser um 13,7 % unter dem Wert des Jahres 1995 und sogar noch unter dem Wert des Jahres 1991, als über einen Pflegenotstand in Krankenhäusern gesellschaftlich diskutiert wurde. Eine Analyse der Kostendaten der Allgemeinkrankenhäuser zeigt, dass der Stellenabbau im Pflegedienst nicht allein durch die Budgetdeckelung und Einführung des DRG-Systems erklärt werden kann. Mehr als die Hälfte des Stellenabbaus wäre auf Grund der allgemeinen Budgetentwicklung nicht erforderlich gewesen, sondern erfolgte offenbar, um im Rahmen einer internen Umverteilung Mittel für andere Zwecke freizusetzen. Gewinner der internen Umverteilung war der ärztliche Dienst. Vor dem Hintergrund der Ergebnisse zahlreicher internationaler Studien muss davon ausgegangen werden, dass der Stellenabbau bereits negative Auswirkungen auf die Qualität der Patientenversorgung hat. Die Ergebnisse internationaler Forschung zu diesem Thema weisen darauf hin, dass eine niedrigere Personalbesetzung in Pflegedienst das Risiko erhöht, als Patient im Krankenhaus eine schwerwiegende Komplikation zu erleiden oder sogar zu versterben. Schlussfolgerungen: Es besteht dringender Handlungsbedarf, da sich die Personalbesetzung des Pflegedienstes in Allgemeinkrankenhäusern seit mehr als 10 Jahren in einer Abwärtsspirale befindet und mit weiterem Stellenabbau zu rechnen ist.

Changes in the Pollen Seasons of the Early Flowering Trees Alnus spp. and Corylus spp. in Worcester United Kingdom 1996-2005

Previous work on Betula spp. (birch) in the UK and at five sites in Europe has shown that pollen seasons for this taxon have tended to become earlier by about 5–10 days per decade in most regions investigated over the last 30 years. This pattern has been linked to the trend to warmer winters and springs in recent years. However, little work has been done to investigate the changes in the pollen seasons for the early flowering trees. Several of these, such as Alnus spp. and Corylus spp., have allergens, which cross-react with those of Betula spp., and so have a priming effect on allergic people. This paper investigates pollen seasons for Alnus spp. and Corylus spp. for the years 1996–2005 at Worcester, in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. Pollen data for daily average counts were collected using a Burkard volumetric trap sited on the exposed roof of a three-storey building. The climate is western maritime. Meteorological data for daily temperatures (maximum and minimum) and rainfall were obtained from the local monitoring sites. The local area up to approximately 10 km surrounding the site is mostly level terrain with some undulating hills and valleys. The local vegetation is mixed farmland and deciduous woodland. The pollen seasons for the two taxa investigated are typically late December or early January to late March. Various ways of defining the start and end of the pollen seasons were considered for these taxa, but the most useful was the 1% method whereby the season is deemed to have started when 1% of the total catch is achieved and to have ended when 99% is reached. The cumulative catches (in grains/m3) for Alnus spp. varied from 698 (2001) to 3,467 (2004). For Corylus spp., they varied from 65 (2001) to 4,933 (2004). The start dates for Alnus spp. showed 39 days difference in the 10 years (earliest 2000 day 21, latest 1996 day 60). The end dates differed by 26 days and the length of season differed by 15 days. The last 4 years in the set had notably higher cumulative counts than the first 2, but there was no trend towards earlier starts. For Corylus spp. start days also differed by 39 days (earliest 1999 day 5, latest 1996 day 44). The end date differed by 35 days and length of season by 26 days. Cumulative counts and lengths of season showed a distinct pattern of alternative high (long) and low (short) years. There is some evidence of a synchronous pattern for Alnus spp.. These patterns show some significant correlations with temperature and rainfall through the autumn, winter and early spring, and some relationships with growth degree 4s and chill units, but the series is too short to discern trends. The analysis has provided insight to the variation in the seasons for these early flowering trees and will form a basis for future work on building predictive models for these taxa.

A quarter century of creative chaos: Xinhua News Agency 1980-2005

Chinese media in the context of China's rise have puzzled many scholars who used to understand media and communications phenomena by employing the theories generated from a few affluent Western democracies, notably the US. As a result, a complex but more accurate picture has been ignored. Under numerous theoretical polarizations, the contemporary social world seems little changed but polarized. This thesis aims to propose a different approach endeavoring to 'de-Westernize' or 'internationalize' media and communications studies. As a starting point, this study focuses on the globalization debate, Chinese media and news agency studies. The thesis has investigated the Chinese news agency, Xinhua, by employing Fuzzy Logic which captures the complexity of the change in the agency's business structure and journalistic practices over last 25 years. The change is also examined by scrutinizing the role of journalists in the interrelations of Xinhua with its news sources, media and nonmedia clients, and other news agencies. A combination of archive study and 94 semistructured interviews conducted in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau and London provides an inclusive account of the Chinese news institution. The key research findings drawn from the empirical research into Xinhua have justified the central argument of this thesis: Crisp Logic or the 'either/or' approach has failed to explain the dynamics of the change to the media system based in a 'non-Western' society. The numerous theoretical polarizations generated by Crisp Logic to a large extent have distorted the understanding of the contemporary social world by polarizing it. Fuzzy Logic serves better(though it is not the only choice)than the traditional approach to reflect on the set of variables existing between the two poles created by Crisp Logic. This thesis is the first doctorate research in the UK and other English-speaking countries to investigate Xinhua by 'going inside' the news institution's headquarters, local branches and overseas bureaus. This is the first comprehensive academic study of the agency, which not only examines the agency's recent change in business structure and journalistic practices, but also provides a historical account of the agency and its relationship with other social institutions. This is the first media study that employs Fuzzy Logic to understand the globalization theory, Chinese media and news agencies.

Análise Descritiva de Parturientes e Recém-Nascidos na Maternidade: Hospital Dona Estefânia entre 2005 e 2008

Entre 2005 e 2008, registaram-se 8413 nascimentos na maternidade do Hospital Dona Estefânia (HDE), aproximadamente 8% do total nacional no mesmo período. A mortalidade fetal (0,20%) atingiu os objectivos do Plano Nacional de Saúde (PNS) para 2010 e está aos melhores niveis da União Europeia. Contudo, a percentagem média de nascimentos prétermo (8,1%) e de cesarianas (31,9%) situam-se ainda acima das metas estabelecidas pelo PNS de, respectivamente, 4,9% e 24,8%. O odds ratio de ocorrência de um índice Apgar baixo aos 5 minutos por cada 100 g de peso a menos à nascença foi de 1,35 e por cada semana a menos de gestação foi de 1,33. As parturientes tiveram em média 30,4 anos de idade, sendo 3,8% adolescentes. Cerca de 22% eram estrangeiras, valor superior à média nacional de 9%. Registou-se variabilidade entre as principais nacionalidades quanto a percentagem de partos pré-termo e de cesarianas, sendo menor nas mães chinesas. Encontrou-se significado estatístico na relação do peso à nascença com a idade de gestação,tipo de gravidez (simples/gemelar), sexo, paridade e idade da mãe. Fixando as covariáveis,uma semana de gestação a mais correspondeu, em média, a mais 176 g; um recém-nascido(RN) gémeo teve, em média, menos 381 g que um não-gémeo e um RN do sexo feminino pesou, em média, menos 48 g que um masculino. Apresentam-se tabelas de percentis de peso por sexo e idade gestacional (36-41 semanas) para os RN do HDE.
