This paper presents the creation and development of technological schools directly linked to the business community and to higher public education. Establishing themselves as the key interface between the two sectors they make a signigicant contribution by having a greater competitive edge when faced with increasing competition in the tradional markets. The development of new business strategies supported by references of excellence, quality and competitiveness also provides a good link between the estalishment of partnerships aiming at the qualification of education boards at a medium level between the technological school and higher education with a technological foundation. We present a case study as an example depicting the success of Escola Tecnológica de Vale de Cambra.

In the framework of health services research sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation, a research was undertaken of the activity of the large majority of the public health nurses working in the Swiss cantons of Vaud and Fribourg (total population 700,000). During one week, 130 nurses gathered, with a specially devised instrument, data on 4165 patient visits. Studying the duration of the contacts, one has distinguished contact duration per se (DC), duration of the travel time preceding the contact (DD), and total duration in relation with the contact (DTC-addition of the first two). It was noted that the three durations increased significantly with patient age (as regard travel time, this is explained by the higher proportion of home visits in higher age groups, as compared with visits at a health center). Examined according to location of the visit, contact duration per se (without travel) is higher for visits at home and in nursing homes than for those taking place at a health center. Looked at in respect to the care given (technical care, or basic nursing care, or both simultaneously), our data show that the provision of basic nursing care (alone or with technical care) doubles contact duration (from 20 to 42-45'). The analyses according to patient age shows that, at an advanced age (beyond 80 years particularly), there is an important increase of the visits where both types of care are given. However, contact duration per se shows a significant raise with age only for the group "technical care only"; it can be demonstrated that this is due to the fact that older patients require more complex technical acts (e.g., bladder care, as compared with simpler acts such as injection). A model of the relationships between patient age and contact duration is proposed: it is because of the increase in the proportions of home visits, of visits including basic nursing care, and of more complex technical acts that older persons require more of the working time of public health nurses.

RésuméCette thèse s'intéresse à l'impact du niveau d'éducation sur les attitudes envers les mesures de discrimination positive en faveur de la promotion professionnelle des femmes. La littérature consacrée à cette relation présente des résultats inconsistants : certains travaux ne montrent que l'éducation n'a pas d'effet sur l'accueil réservé aux mesures positives, tandis que d'autres suggèrent que cette relation pourrait être influencée par la nature des mesures positives. Nos attentes s'appuient sur les thèses de l'effet libérateur et de l'effet reproducteur de l'éducation. Les études réalisées dans le cadre de cette thèse, menées auprès de cadres, d'employés et d'étudiants résidant en Suisse et en Albanie, mettent en évidence un lien négatif entre le nombre d'années d'études et l'acceptation des mesures positives. Toutefois, cet effet apparaît essentiellement dans le cas de la mesure favorisant l'appartenance groupale des candidates par rapport à leurs caractéristiques personnelles, et non pas dans le cas de la mesure s'appuyant sur les compétences et le mérite des candidates. Nos études mettent en évidence les mécanismes qui génèrent ces opinions : l'orientation à la dominance sociale, l'adhésion aux principes méritocratiques, la reconnaissance de la discrimination subie par les femmes et le sentiment de menace généré par la mise en place des mesures de discrimination positive. Ces études examinent également la perception plus ou moins stéréotypée des bénéficiaires des mesures positives et de leur vulnérabilité aux conduites d'auto-handicap. Dans l'ensemble, les résultats corroborent davantage la thèse de l'effet reproducteur de l'éducation que celle de l'effet libérateur de l'éducation.
