L’incapacité au travail liée aux troubles musculosquelettiques : aspects théoriques et différences de genre

Introduction : Cette thèse est constituée de trois articles liés les uns aux autres. Le premier s’attache à clarifier les perspectives théoriques et problèmes conceptuels entourant la notion de capacité/incapacité au travail, sa définition et son évolution au fil du temps. Les deuxième et troisième articles visent à évaluer les effets différentiels selon le genre de déterminants du retour au travail (RAT) et de la durée d’indemnisation ainsi que les coûts associés, dans une population de travailleurs indemnisés à long terme pour troubles musculosquelettiques (TMS). Méthodes : Dans le premier article, une revue systématique des définitions de l’(in)capacité au travail et une analyse comparative basée sur la théorisation ancrée débouchent sur une carte conceptuelle intégrative. Dans le second article, une cohorte de 455 adultes en incapacité à long terme pour TMS au dos/cou/membres supérieurs est suivie cinq ans au travers d’entretiens structurés et de données d’indemnisation. Des modèles de Cox stratifiés par genre ont été utilisés pour évaluer la durée jusqu’au premier RAT. Dans le troisième article, une cohorte populationnelle de 13,073 hommes et 9032 femmes en incapacité prolongée pour TMS au dos/cou/membres supérieurs a été suivie pendant trois ans à l’aide de données administratives. Des modèles de Cox stratifiés par genre ont été utilisés pour étudier la durée d’indemnisation et détecter les effets dépendants du temps. Les coûts ont également été examinés. Résultats : Les définitions analysées dans la première étude ne reflètent pas une vision intégrée et partagée de l’(in)capacité au travail. Cependant, un consensus relatif semble émerger qu’il s’agit d’un concept relationnel, résultant de l’interaction de multiples dimensions aux niveaux individuel, organisationnel et sociétal. La seconde étude montre que malgré des courbes de survie jusqu’au RAT similaires entre hommes et femmes (p =0.920), plusieurs déterminants diffèrent selon le genre. Les femmes plus âgées (HR=0.734, par tranches de 10 ans), d’un statut économique perçu comme pauvre (HR=0.625), travaillant ≥40 heures/semaine en ayant des personnes à charge (HR=0.508) et ne connaissant pas l’existence d’un programme de santé et sécurité sur leur lieu de travail (HR=0.598) retournent moins vite au travail, tandis qu’un revenu brut annuel plus élevé (par $10,000) est un facteur facilitant (HR=1.225). Les hommes de plus de 55 ans (HR=0.458), au statut économique perçu comme pauvre (HR=0.653), travaillant ≥40 heures/semaine avec une charge de travail physique perçue élevée (HR=0.720) et une plus grande précarité d’emploi (HR=0.825) retournent moins rapidement au travail. La troisième étude a révélé que trois ans après la lésion, 12.3% des hommes et 7.3% des femmes étaient encore indemnisés, avec un ratio de coûts homme-femme pour l’ensemble des réclamations de 2.1 :1. L’effet de certain prédicteurs (e.g. revenu, siège de lésion, industrie) varie selon le genre. De plus, l’effet de l’âge chez les hommes et l’effet de l’historique d’indemnisation chez les femmes varient dans le temps. Conclusion : La façon de définir l’(in)capacité au travail a des implications importantes pour la recherche, l’indemnisation et la réadaptation. Les résultats confirment également la pertinence d’investiguer les déterminants du RAT et de l’indemnisation selon le genre.

Schlüsselqualifikationen im Hochschulbereich

Ausgehend von dem von Friedrich Edding geprägten Begriff der Schlüsselfähigkeit entwickelte Dieter Mertens Anfang der 1970er Jahre sein Konzept der Schlüsselqualifikationen. Damit suchte er Wege, Menschen so zu qualifizieren, dass sie ihnen übertragene berufliche Aufgaben, auch in einem sich rasch verändernden Umfeld, bewältigen können. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass die Rezeption des Begriffs in verschiedenen Bildungsbereichen mit unterschiedlichen Intensitäten und Resultaten verlief. Am folgenreichsten war die Rezeption in der Berufsbildung. Von wenigen skeptischen Stimmen abgesehen, stieß das Konzept der Schlüsselqualifikationen auf positive Zustimmung und mehrere Umsetzungsversuche wurden unternommen. Diese führten allerdings zu einer Verlängerung der Liste der Schlüsselqualifikationen (die ursprünglich von Mertens als abschließbar angedacht war). Ein Konsens, was in der Berufsbildung als Schlüsselqualifikationen zu gelten hat, ist immer noch nicht in Sicht. In den allgemeinbildenden Schulen hingegen fand das Konzept keine große Beachtung. Zwar wurde hin und wieder auf den Begriff zurückgegriffen, um beispielsweise allgemein verbindliche Standards in der Schule zu thematisieren oder neuen Inhalten eine Legitimation zu verschaffen, dennoch griff die Debatte in der Schulpädagogik nicht nachhaltig. Gründe dafür liegen zum einen in der dem Konzept inhärenten berufsvorbereitenden Funktion, die der Idealvorstellung einer zweckfreien Bildung widerspricht, zum anderen in der relativ straffen und zentralisierten Gestaltung der Lehrpläne. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit dem Konzept der Schlüsselqualifikationen im Hochschulbereich auseinander. Eine Untersuchung von ca. 130 deutsch- und englischsprachigen Arbeiten, die Schlüsselqualifikationen im Hochschulbereich zum Thema haben, belegt eine sehr große Heterogenität der zugrunde liegenden Vorstellungen und konkreten Modelle. Es wird gezeigt, dass die zwei wichtigsten Ordnungsschemata, die gelegentlich zur Abgrenzung der Schlüsselqualifikationen gegenüber anderen Bildungskomponenten herangezogen werden (nämlich die Taxonomie der Lernziele von Bloom und das Handlungskompetenzmodell von Roth in der Weiterentwicklung von Reetz) mit keinem kohärenten Rahmenwerk, das der Fülle der Modelle von Schlüsselqualifikationen im Hochschulbereich gerecht wäre, aufwarten können. Eine Alternative bietet eine diskursanalytische Perspektive foucaultscher Prägung. Begriffen als eine diskursive Formation, haben Modelle der Schlüsselqualifikationen ihre Gemeinsamkeit nicht in dem vermeintlich gemeinsamen Gegenstand. Demnach sind Schlüsselqualifikationen in der heutigen Hochschuldebatte keine Qualifikationen suis generis, die eine eigene Kategorie bilden, sondern eine Antwort auf die Herausforderungen, die die verschiedenartigen Veränderungen in und um Hochschulen mit sich bringen. Es lassen sich drei Kontexte identifizieren, in denen die Modelle der Schlüsselqualifikationen der Herausforderung zu begegnen versuchen: in der Gesellschaft im Allgemeinen, in der vor-universitären Bildung sowie in der Hochschulbildung und in der Berufswelt. In diesen Kontexten artikulieren die Modelle der Schlüsselqualifikationen verschiedene Dimensionen, um Gesellschafts-, Studier und Beschäftigungsfähigkeit der Studierenden zu fördern. Eine vergleichende Analyse der Debatten und Modelle der Schlüsselqualifikationen in der BRD und in England zeigt, dass diese drei Kontexte in beiden Ländern vorfindbar sind, jedoch deren inhaltliche Vorstellung und konkrete Umsetzung aufgrund der Partikularitäten des jeweiligen Hochschulsystems unterschiedliche Akzentuierungen erfahren. Anders als in der BRD betonen die Modelle der Förderung der Studierfähigkeit in England die Brückenkurse als Hilfestellung bei der Vorbereitung auf das Studium. Das hängt mit den uneinheitlichen Zugangsregelungen zum Hochschulstudium und der hierarchischen Struktur im englischen Hochschulsystem zusammen. Bei der Förderung der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit setzen die Modelle der Schlüsselqualifikationen in Deutschland, wo traditionell ein Hochschulstudium als berufsvorbereitend angesehen wird, den Akzent auf Praxisbezug des Studiums und auf Flexibilität. In England hingegen, wo sich das Studium per se nicht als berufsqualifizierend versteht, rücken die Modelle der Schlüsselqualifikationen den Übergang in den Arbeitsmarkt und das Karrieremanagement - subsumiert unter dem Konzept der employability - in den Vordergrund.

Multimedia selection: Allowing educators to act critically and independently

In Brazil, important portals like the Portal do Professor, or Teacher's Portal, from the Ministry of Education, offer multimedia products like audios, videos, games, animations, simulations and others with an accompanying teacher's guide. These guides in general suggest ways to prepare the students to use the products while offering indications on how to practice that knowledge after using the products in the classrooom. Despite this, portals with huge repositories that receive new products every week don't present to teachers a solution for a problem: How to select the appropriate products to use in the classroom and how to assess their use after teaching in order to check if the learning was meaningful? In this way, this paper discusses multimedia selection for meaningful learning while considering concept mapping and abstraction classification. The development of multimedia repositories has created both opportunities for easy access to digital content and areas of serious concerns since the misuse of products by teachers may lead to different problems.

Estúdio Ghibli: um aparato sobre as técnicas ilustrativas e filosofia oriental dos principais longas metragens de Hayao Miyazaki

In front of the vast and widespread use of new technology in 3D animation currently, this research aims to give an overview adjacent to major film productions with Studio Ghibli and its main director/animator: Hayao Miyazaki. Showing up as an interesting exception to worldwide success, the Ghibli feature films are made with the predominance of 2D hand-drawn art. Its process dates back to the first animations created in the early twentieth century, though such tools have been “overcome” by big studios like Walt Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks, the works of Miyazaki still get considerable highlight, preferring the pencil and paper than the computer. With the aid of some authors in particular as McCloud and the founders of Anima Mundi, and other theorists of design and subjective philosophy, some analyzes are mapped to better understand the connection between the work of Miyazaki and his contribution to the field of illustration and originality as a whole. The objective is to find the key points of Ghibli animations which will drive new parameters between creativity, illustration and Western and Eastern praxis.

Magic Lantern Slides 2

According to Charles Musser, Huygens had two key innovations for his magic lantern: 1. Images painted on glass instead of etchings on mirrors. 2. An artificial light source was used instead of the reflection of sunlight. (20) Glass slides (often more than one) with hand drawn images are the standard aesthetic for these slides. They are then usually mounted in rectangular wooden frames approx. 4 x 7 inches with a 3 inch circular opening for the image. (Musser 30) The various mechanisms attached to the images are described in the Object Narrative section.

A Forgotten Original or an Original Copy? On MS. Douce 387 in the Bodleian Library: Collecting Early Modern Festival Books

Focusing on one manuscript, today in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, this chapter deals with the question how early modern objects became collectable items. The manuscript is categorized as MS. Douce 387 and its name indicates that it came from the collection of Francis Douce (1757–1834), who was keeper of manuscripts in the British Museum from 1799 until 1811. MS. Douce 387 is described in the catalogue of the Douce’ian collection as the “presentation copy with coloured designs by Marten de Vos and others” of the 1595 printed festival book Descriptio publicae gratulationis … in adventu … Ernesti archiducis Austriae. This festival book, printed in Antwerp’s Plantin-Moretus press, was commissioned by the magistrate of the city of Antwerp to commemorate the Joyous Entry of Archduke Ernest of Austria from June 1594; that an “archducal copy” bound in red velvet was commissioned as well and was owned by the Archduke is know as well. However, first research showed that Oxford copy cannot be this “archducal copy” or Marten de Vos’s artist’s copy even though it is the only know version with a handwritten text and hand-drawn illustrations. It rather should be examined as something totally different altogether. The main question remains why someone then commissioned a hand made version of this festival book, something unknown for other books of this genre? Why would someone between 1600 and 1800 sit down and copy texts and prints from a collectable book? Why was there such an on-going interest in early modern festival books? Could this manuscript be the only later made copy of the “archducal volume” or is it rather a forgery made for the European collectors’ market?

Al Este del Retiro

La zona de Madrid al Este del Retiro ha estado indefectiblemente condicionada en su tardío desarrollo urbano por su posición a espaldas del Real Sitio. La construcción hacia 1640 de las tapias que rodeaban los reales jardines transformó la red de caminos que partían hacia oriente, aisló los terrenos ubicados más al Este de la ciudad, con la que ya sólo se podrían comunicar por las carreteras de Aragón y Valencia, y condenó las expectativas de desarrollo urbano reduciendo los precios de las propiedades, lo cual determinó durante décadas los usos y la arquitectura de la zona. El Anteproyecto de Ensanche de Carlos María de Castro constituye el germen a partir del cual, durante un lento proceso de casi cien años, fue configurándose la ciudad que hoy conocemos. La identificación en el Archivo de Villa del primer plano general del Ensanche trazado por Castro, del cual anteriores trabajos advirtieron de su existencia aunque se desconocía su localización, es la principal aportación de esta investigación. Por un lado, este primer plano general del Ensanche manuscrito es, por sí mismo, un documento de indudable importancia en la historia del urbanismo madrileño. En segundo lugar, el análisis de su contenido arroja nueva luz sobre la propuesta original de Castro, parcialmente censurada por la Dirección General de Obras Públicas antes de la aprobación del plan en 1860. Especialmente en lo referente a la zona de Madrid al Este del Retiro, proyectada como barrio obrero del Ensanche, este documento ha aportado un enfoque desconocido hasta ahora sobre el paisaje urbano concebido por Castro para la más ambiciosa propuesta planteada en mucho tiempo al problema de la vivienda obrera. Finalmente, el análisis de la factura del plano revela la superposición de varias capas de dibujo, evidenciando que durante un tiempo fue un documento vivo, utilizado como plano de trabajo por el equipo de Castro durante aproximadamente diez años, hasta la destitución del ingeniero en 1868. Posteriores análisis del plano sobre otros ámbitos de la ciudad arrojarán sin duda nuevos datos sobre el proceso proyectual del conjunto del Ensanche. Pero la dinámica de lo real, sintetizable en múltiples factores de índole social, económica y legislativa, transformó durante las primeras décadas de andadura del Ensanche la ciudad proyectada por Castro al Este del Retiro. El dibujo de la ciudad, entendido como herramienta de análisis y empleado con éxito en trabajos de investigación realizados por otros autores en la misma línea, ha permitido deducir la reconstitución gráfica del estado de la ciudad en diferentes momentos singulares del desarrollo urbanístico de la zona, así como de la propuesta original de barrio obrero de Castro. No hay que olvidar que, a pesar del escaso interés que suscitaba entre los inversores inmobiliarios el ámbito geográfico de estudio de esta tesis, fue objeto, durante casi un siglo, de numerosas propuestas de ordenación y urbanización que, aunque no llegaron a materializarse, fueron configurando una suerte de desarrollo virtual de la ciudad paralelo al devenir de la realidad. De esta forma, el dibujo se constituye en esta tesis como fuente de información, herramienta de pensamiento y resultado de la investigación en sí mismo, ilustrando y contribuyendo al mejor conocimiento de la forma urbana. ABSTRACT The area of Madrid to the East of the Retiro has been inevitably conditioned in its late urban development by its position behind the Royal Site. The construction of the walls surrounding the royal gardens around 1640 transformed the network of roads departing eastward, isolated land located to the East of the city, with which already only could communicate by roads of Aragon and Valencia, condemned the expectations of urban development by reducing the prices of the properties, and determined for decades uses and architecture of the area. The Carlos María de Castro preliminary design of City Expansion is the germ from which, during a slow process of almost one hundred years, the city which we know today was setting up. The discovery in the City Archive of the City Expansion first drawing traced by Castro, which previous investigations warned of its existence although its location was unknown, is the main contribution of this research. Firstly, this hand drawn general plan of the city expansion is by itself a document of undoubted importance in the history of Madrid urbanism. Secondly, the analysis of its content sheds new light on Castro´s original proposal, partially censored by the Dirección General de Obras Públicas before the approval of the plan in 1860. Especially concerning the area of Madrid to the East of the Retiro, projected as a workingclass district of the City Expansion, this document has provided an unknown up to now approach on the urban landscape designed by Castro for the more ambitious proposal put forward in a long time to the problem of worker housing. Finally, analysis of hand drawn plan reveals the superposition of several layers of drawing, demonstrating that for a time it was a living document, used as a work plan by the Castro team for approximately ten years, until the dismissal of the engineer in 1868. Subsequent analysis of the drawing on other areas of the city will have no doubt new data on the design process of the whole City Expansion. But the dynamics of reality, synthesizable on multiple factors in social, economic and legislative, transformed during the first decades of existence of the City Expansion designed by Castro to the East of the Retiro. Drawing of the city, understood as a tool of analysis and used successfully in research works done by other authors on the same line, has allowed to deduct graphic reconstitution of the city status in different and singular moments in the urban development of the area, as well as the original Castro´s proposal of working-class district. It should not be forgotten that, despite the lack of interest which raised among investors the geographic scope of this thesis study, it was the object, for nearly a century, of numerous proposals for urbanization which, although they didn´t materialize, were setting up a sort of virtual development of the city parallel to the becoming of the reality. In this way, drawing is used in the thesis as a source of information, tool of thought and outcome of the research itself, illustrating and contributing to a better understanding of urban form.

Estudos comparativos sobre a elaboração de mapas conceituais durante processo de avaliação da aprendizagem: identificando a importância das demandas e do efeito de preparação

Os mapas conceituais são ferramentas gráficas que possibilitam a representação dos modelos mentais do aluno. Devido a essa capacidade, o mapa conceitual pode ser utilizado como ferramenta avaliativa de conhecimento. O uso dessa ferramenta em sala de aula gera cargas na memória de trabalho que podem ser referentes ao conteúdo (carga intrínseca) ou à forma como esse recurso está sendo trabalhado na sala de aula (carga extrínseca). Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar como os mapas conceituais auxiliam na avaliação da aprendizagem da disciplina Ciências da Natureza: Ciência, Cultura e Sociedade ofertada na Universidade de São Paulo para alunos ingressantes de diversos cursos de graduação (n = 64) durante o período de 2013.1 sobre o conteúdo de Mudanças Climáticas. Nas turmas avaliadas o mapa conceitual poderia ser utilizado como ferramenta de preparação para prova (MCPREP) como também era utilizado como parte da avaliação formal da disciplina (MC-AVAL). Essa pesquisa se constitui de três Estudos que investigam: 1. As diferenças de perfis de mapas conceituais obtidos na condição de MC-PREP x MCAVAL; 2. Se o grupo de alunos que fizeram MC-PREP tiveram MC-AVAL com perfil diferente daqueles que não fizeram; 3. A existência de uma correlação entre as características do MC-AVAL com o conhecimento declarativo dos estudantes. Os mapas conceituais foram avaliados considerando aspectos estruturais e semânticos. As metodologias das análises realizadas foram retiradas de trabalhos presente na literatura. Entre os aspectos semânticos estavam o uso de materiais instrucionais, a natureza das proposições, a presença de erros e a aderência a pergunta focal. Além dessas análises, foi verificada a presença de agrupamentos naturais que pudessem ser explicados com uso das categorias teóricas. A análise dos resultados indica que os mapas conceituais das condições MC-PREP e MC-AVAL são bastante distintas entre si, pois atendiam a objetivos educacionais diferentes. No Estudo 2 verificou-se que o MC-PREP não influenciou fortemente a elaboração do MC-AVAL, pois a diminuição da carga extrínseca provocada pela elaboração de MC-PREP não foi suficiente para mostrar diferenças entre os grupos, já que ambos estavam altamente treinados na técnica de mapeamento conceitual. Por fim, no Estudo 3, o principal fator correlacionando o conhecimento declarativo com a complexidade dos mapas conceituais foi o percentual de proposições apropriadas. As conclusões do trabalho são que a demanda de elaboração do mapa conceitual é realmente orientadora de produto, a elaboração de um mapa conceitual a mais em um grupo bem treinado na técnica não altera seu desempenho e o principal meio de avaliar os mapas conceituais deve ser a leitura de suas proposições constituintes.
