Beirando a vida, driblando os problemas: estrat��gias de bem viver

The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategies used by families living in at-risk-and-vulnerable situations registered with the Estrat��gia Sa��de da Fam��lia (ESF) ( Family Health Strategy ) as they face their daily problems. This is an investigation of a qualitative nature, using interview as the main tool for an empirical approach. Ten women from the Panatis location in northern Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, whose families live in precarious social-economical situations were interviewed. The interviews occurred between the months of April and June, 2007. The reports revealed that a mixture of improvisations and creativity was used as strategies for overcoming the privations and necessities of daily life. We also reached the conclusion that these families sought solutions for their problems through religiosity and a gift reciprocity system as resources for obtaining personal recognition and support in adversity. The results, in addition, point to ESF as one of the strategies used by these families in the search for attention and care. From this perspective, ESF has proven to be a place for listening and the construction of ties that are consolidated through home visits, organized groups, in parties and outings that are promoted in the community, reestablishing contact and support among people and signaling a way out of abandonment and isolation. Holders of knowledge constructed through life experiences, the participants of the study led us to induce and infer the need to amplify space that will allow them to express meanings, values and experiences, and consider that becoming ill is a process that incorporates dimensions of life that go beyond the physical. As health professionals, we need to be aware of the multiple and creative abilities used in the daily lives of these families, so that we can, along with them, reinvent a new way of dealing with health

Malabares como arte de viver

Juggling practices permeate the cultural heritage of many people for a long time. Not limited only to the circus, we see more and more an invasion of juggling in the streets, schools and other spaces (formal and informal), among whom the professional of Physical Education also operates. Given this context, it is ever more urgent the need to give more attention to this practice within the academic training, not only to better understand it but also to value it as an educational practice. It is in pursuit of this understanding and appreciation that asks: What learning to juggling practices brings to the professional future of Physical Education? Based on these, this study sought to map the learning incorporated in the researcher's relationship with this practice throughout their academic training. Therefore, the survey noted the juggling as art of living, that is, as a technique that was involved with the life of the researcher and contributing to enhance the course of their training. The investigation started a literature in which it was possible to situate this work within the context of studies approaching the Fitness to philosophical studies. This approach sought to map the effects of juggling practice on academic background - and the very subjectivity - a subject / researcher that folds on itself to move their training

A ironia na teoria do romance: da exig��ncia normativo-composicional do romance em Goethe ao viver a arte em Novalis

O presente artigo busca explicitar o conceito de ironia na Teoria do romance. A explicita����o do conceito de ironia se desdobrar�� num desenvolvimento duplo: como exig��ncia normativo-composicional e como radicaliza����o subjetiva que excede a normatividade. No primeiro sentido, a ironia configura subjetivamente uma totalidade na obra ��pica, partindo da sua fragmenta����o objetiva nas rela����es sociais modernas. Nessa acep����o, a ironia se apresenta como uma manobra subjetiva a servi��o da normatividade ��pica do romance, pois sua finalidade �� harmonizar o ideal subjetivo com a objetividade hist��rica burguesa. Seu paradigma �� representado, neste artigo, por Goethe. O outro sentido pelo qual a ironia rom��ntica aparece �� demarcado pela forma extremada da subjetividade. Esta, reconhecendo uma impossibilidade de realiza����o de seu ideal harm��nico na modernidade, porque o mundo moderno se lhe apresenta como uma efetividade oposta aos anseios subjetivos, refugia-se na pr��pria interioridade e se distancia do mundo presente, buscando ref��gio em tempos e lugares mais prop��cios �� realiza����o po��tica. Novalis �� o modelo dessa ironia radicalizada. Essa forma ir��nica, ao contr��rio da "cad��ncia ir��nica" de Goethe, aniquila a forma romance, uma vez que o aspecto subjetivo da pura reflex��o, a l��rica, se sobrep��e �� objetividade hist��rica presente que o romance tamb��m necessariamente deve encerrar.

"What is the Value of Youth Work?" Symposium Booklet

As a group of experienced and novice youth workers, we believe that youth work is fundamentally about building trust-filled, mutually respectful relationships with young people. We create safe environments for young people to connect with other supportive adults and peers and to avoid violence in their neighborhoods and their homes. We guide those harmed by oppressive community conditions such as racism, sexism, agism, homophobia, and classism through a process of healing. As we get to know more about young people���s interests, we help them develop knowledge and skills in a variety of areas including: academic, athletic, leadership/civic, the arts, health and wellbeing, and career exploration. In short, we create transformative experiences for young people. In spite of the critical roles we play, we have largely been overlooked in youth development research, policy, and as a professional workforce. We face challenges ���moving up��� in our careers. We get frustrated by how little money we earn. We are discouraged that despite our knowledge and experience we are not invited to the tables where youth funding, programming, and policy decisions are made. It is true���many of us do not have formal training or degrees in youth work���a reality which at times we regret. Yet, as our colleague communicates in the accompanying passage (see below), we resent that formal education is required for us to get ahead, particularly because we question whether we need it to do our jobs more effectively. Through the ���What is the Value of Youth Work?��� symposium, we hope to address these concerns through a dialogue about youth work with the following objectives: ��� Increase awareness of the knowledge, skills, contributions, and professionalism of youth workers; ��� Advance a youth worker professional development model that integrates a dilemma-focused approach with principles of social justice youth development; ��� Launch an ongoing Worcester area Youth Worker network. This booklet provides a brief overview of the challenges in ���professionalizing��� youth work and an alternative approach that we are advancing that puts the knowledge and expertise of youth workers at the center of professional development.

An evaluation of the Texas "A Woman's Right to Know" booklet: A state mandated patient education document for induced abortion

Many patient educational documents are written at a grade level higher than the level at which most individuals can read. This discrepancy can lead to treatment noncompliance and negative health outcomes. Therefore, it is important that patients receive readable health information. The Texas "A Woman's Right to Know" booklet is a state mandated informational document provided to women seeking abortion services. Given the significance of the abortion procedure, it is imperative that women considering having an abortion receive accurate and readable health materials. However, no published studies were found that evaluated the readability of the "A Woman's Right to Know" booklet. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the readability of the "A Woman's Right to Know" booklet. To assess the readability, the Flesch-Kincaid readability test was used to evaluate the reading grade level of the entire "A Woman's Right to Know" booklet and each of the 7 sections of the booklet. The results showed that the readability of the entire booklet as well as each section of the booklet was written below the 8th grade reading level. Although the booklet was written below the estimated United States reading level (8th grade), the reading level of this booklet may still be too high for people in Texas who read below the 8th grade level. Based on these results, it is recommended that health care professionals involved in the distribution and explanation of the "A Woman's Right to Know" booklet provide their patients with both written and verbal medical information. The patients should be allowed to ask questions about the abortion procedure so that they can make the most informed choice.^
