Att vara anhörigvårdare till en patient inom palliativ hemsjukvård

Syftet var att beskriva anhörigvårdarens erfarenheter av palliativ vård av sin närstående i hemmet. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie. I studien ingick 10 vetenskapliga artiklar från åren 2002-2008. Samtliga var av kvalitativ ansats. Resultatet i studien delades upp i fyra teman: erfarenheter av kommunikation, hantera den nya situationen, känsla av otillräcklighet och meningsfullhet trots allt. Resultatet belyste bland annat att information om patientens hälsotillstånd var viktigt för att anhörigvårdarna skulle känna sig bättre mentalt förberedda. Anhörigvårdare som upplevde brist på information och kommunikation tappade förtroende till sjukvården. Erfarenheter av existentiella frågor och samtal visade sig vara viktiga för att känna hopp och meningsfullhet. De som upplevde att de fick vara en del av det palliativa teamet kände sig delaktiga i vården i motsats till de som kände sig som en utomstående vilka kände sig förolämpade. Anhörigvårdarnas deltagande i vården gav dem möjlighet att leva ett mer naturligt familjeliv Det var viktigt att kunna behålla en vardag. För att klara av att vara anhörigvårdare behövde de få avlastning. När situationen blev ohanterbar kände de dåligt samvete och skuld över att inte levt upp till kraven. De upplevde frustration och en känsla av otillräcklighet. De erfarenheter som anhörigvårdarna hade av palliativ vård i hemmet var att stödet de fick från vårdpersonalen var avgörande för hur de skulle hantera situationen. En tillfredställande kommunikation innebar att vårdpersonalen var lyhörd för den enskilde anhörigvårdarens behov och att de såg patienten och anhörigvårdaren som en enhet.

Com a história no bolso: a moeda e a República no Brasil

Os objetivos desse texto são bastante singelos. Ele deseja ressaltar a possibilidade e importância da utilização das moedas e cédulas do sistema monetário como objetos de estudo – como documentos – da história da República no Brasil. Além disso, quer apontar alguns caminhos de análise das representações que elas evocam enquanto elementos fundamentais de um processo de construção de identidade nacional. Finalmente, procura enfatizar como tal abordagem e uso da moeda brasileira podem ser contemplados no ensino de história nas escolas, que se utilizariam de uma fonte que, literalmente, está na mão dos estudantes. O sentido desta reflexão é apenas o de chamar a atenção de pesquisadores e professores de história para algumas questões que costumam passar despercebidas e, com tal atitude, suscitar algum debate.

Práticas de letramento digital de professores em formação: demandas, saberes e impactos

Over the last decades, the digital inclusion public policies have significantly invested in the purchase of hardwares and softwares in order to offer technology to the Brazilian public teaching institutions, specifically computers and broadband Internet. However, the teachers education to handle these artefacts is put away, even though there is some demand from the information society. With that, this dissertation chooses as an object of study the digital literacy practices performed by 38 (thirty-eight) teachers in initial and continuous education by means of the extension course Literacies and technologies: portuguese language teaching and cyberculture demands. In this direction, we aim at investigating the digital literacy practices of developing teachers in three specific moments: before, while and after this extension action with the intent to (i) delineate the digital literacy practices performed by the collaborators before the formative action; (ii) to narrate the literacy events made possible by the extension course; (iii) to investigate the contributions of the education course to the collaborators teaching practice. We sought theoretical contributions in the literacy studies (BAYNHAM, 1995; KLEIMAN, 1995; HAMILTON; BARTON; IVANIC, 2000), specifically when it comes to digital literacy (COPE, KALANTZIS, 2000; BUZATO, 2001, 2007, 2009; SNYDER, 2002, 2008; LANKSHEAR & KNOBEL, 2002, 2008) and teacher education (PERRENOUD, 2000; SILVA, 2001). Methodologically, this virtual ethnography study (KOZINETS, 1997; HINE, 2000) is inserted into the field of Applied Linguistics and adopts a quali-quantitative research approach (NUNAN, 1992; DÖRNYEI, 2006). The data analysis permitted to evidentiate that (i) before the course, the digital literacy practices focused on the personal and academic dimensions of their realities at the expense of the professional dimension; (ii) during the extension action, the teachers collaboratively took part in the hybrid study sessions, which had a pedagogical focus on the use of ICTs, accomplishing the use of digital literacy practices - unknown before that; (iii) after the course, the attitude of the collaborator teachers concerning the use of ICTs on their regular professional basis had changed, once those teachers started to effectively make use of them, promoting social visibility to what was produced in the school. We also observed that teachers in initial education acted as more experienced peers in collaborative learning process, offering support scaffolding (VYGOTSKY, 1978; BRUNER, 1985) to teachers in continuous education. This occurred because of the undergraduates actualize digital literacy practices were more sophisticated, besides the fact being integrate generation Y (PRENSKY, 2001)

Televisão universitária do RN (TVU): contribuição para a democratização da informação e a difusão do conhecimento científico produzido pela universidade

In this thesis we propose to investigate the contribution that the Universitary Television from Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil (TVU RN), offers to democratization of information and diffusion of the scientific knowledge produced by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) from the perception of their own students. We adopt the basic assumption in wich the TVU RN needs to be connected with the scope of the current UFRN policy, since plays an important role regarding democratization and social inclusion policies in UFRN. We support the thesis that TVU UFRN offers important information for those who are part of academic culture (COULON, 1995a; 1995b, CHARLOT, 2000; BOURDIEU, 2007, 2005, 1997, 1996, 1975), as well as for society in wich it is inserted, since it contributes to the dissemination of scientific knowledge and relevant information about the university. We consider TVU RN a Public Sphere (HABERMAS, 2002; 2003a, 2003b; 2003c; 1999; 1989) conducive to discussion of issues involving higher education. Researches on Universitary Television are recent and some studies on it advanced in the way to define it and present it as a means of dissemination of scientific knowledge (ROCHA, 2006; COUTINHO, 2006; CALLIGARO, 2007; AIRES, 1999; PORCELLO, 2002; PRIOLLI, 2003, 2008, 2009; MAGALHÃES, 2002, 2008; RAMALHO, 2008; 2010; CARVALHO, 2006). For our investigation we chose the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, both equally valid and accepted by many authors (FLICK, 2009; BAUER; GASKELL, 2002; RICHARDSON, 1999; LAVILLE; DIONNE, 1999). We developed a questionnaire initially with objective questions ending up with open questions of free text. The questionnaire was developed and hosted from a tool of Google Docs and the link to the webpage containing those questionnaires was sent by e-mail by the Permanent Commission of Vestibular of UFRN, COMPERVE, for all university students who were with their registration (status) active in the COMPERVE registers of the second half of 2010. The analysis of this material was performed using the techniques of content analysis and, within this mode was chosen thematic analysis considered appropriate for both qualitative and quantitative research (BARDIN, 2004; MINAYO, 2002). The investigation found that although most students consider that the TVU RN contributes to the democratization of information and dissemination of scientific knowledge produced in university, and moreover to arouse the interest of the academic community, still has not yet become an object of interest of the entire academy. Therefore, the research highlights the relevance and abrangency of further studies on the TVU RN due to the strategic role it plays in this new reality of public universities in the country. In addition, we suggest to the UFRN managers that they put TVU within the hall of discussions in order to receive the so much needed investment for any university organ

Políticas de integração na fronteira trinacional Brasil, Peru e Bolívia

As áreas de fronteiras internacionais constituem espaços altamente complexos, marcados pela grande diversidade de agentes étnicos e de identidade plurinacionais. Na Amazônia Sul Ocidental, tem-se uma área geopolítica estratégica de fronteira trinacional composta pelo Acre (Brasil), Madre de Dios (Peru) e Pando (Bolívia). A preocupação com a segurança nacional, da qual emana a criação de um território especial ao longo do limite internacional continental do país, embora legítima, não tem sido acompanhada de uma política pública sistemática que atenda às especificidades regionais, nem do ponto de vista econômico, nem da cidadania fronteiriça. A integração física do Brasil, como questão central do interesse nacional e do combate às atividades ilícitas, atribui às fronteiras novo papel estratégico. Reativam-se, assim, o interesse pelas fronteiras a partir desse duplo processo, tornando as relações transfronteiriças um tema prioritário das relações internacionais. Com efeito, a busca de um novo significado para as interações do Brasil com seus países limítrofes vem impondo o redirecionamento da ação do Estado brasileiro, com reflexos na geopolítica internacional dessa região da América do Sul. O objetivo central deste estudo é analisar as políticas e ações de integração regional, no processo de desenvolvimento, em uma área de fronteira sob a jurisdição trinacional do Brasil, Peru e Bolívia.
