Objetivos: O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as redes sociais pessoais de idosos portugueses com filhos segundo o sexo da descend��ncia e o sexo do/a idoso/a, relativamente ��s caracter��sticas estruturais, funcionais e relacionais-contextuais. Metodologia: Para a avalia����o das vari��veis em estudo foram utilizados o Instrumento de An��lise da Rede Social Pessoal, vers��o para idosos (IARSP ��� Idosos) (Guadalupe, 2010; Guadalupe & Vicente, 2012) para avaliar as dimens��es da rede social pessoal e um inqu��rito por question��rio para caracteriza����o da amostra a n��vel sociodemogr��fico e sociofamiliar. Participantes: A amostra �� constitu��da por 498 idosos com filhos, com uma m��dia de idades de 75 anos (DP=7,487), entre os 65 anos e os 98 anos, maioritariamente do sexo feminino (60,8%), casados ou em uni��o facto (58,4%) e com escolaridade (70,7%). A maioria dos idosos inquiridos reside em aglomerado populacional (90,8%) e n��o usufrui de apoio de respostas sociais (78,1%). Resultados: Na an��lise separ��mos 3 subamostras: idosos com filhos de ambos os sexos (n=218; 43,7%), idosos com filhos do sexo masculino (n=125; 25,2%) e idosos com filhos do sexo feminino (n=155; 31,2%). Os idosos com filhas apresentam valores mais elevados no apoio material e instrumental (p = 0,046), apoio informativo (p = 0,018), companhia social (p = 0,018) e reciprocidade de apoio (p < 0,001). O tamanho da rede �� menor no caso dos idosos com filhas comparativamente aos que t��m filhos de ambos os sexos (p = 0,012). Analisando separadamente as redes das idosas e dos idosos da amostra, assinalamos que nas redes de idosos do sexo masculino apenas houve diferen��a na reciprocidade (p = 0,016), sendo menos rec��procas as redes da subamostra com filhos apenas do sexo masculino; por sua vez, nas redes das idosas houve diferen��as no tamanho da rede (p = 0,015) e na frequ��ncia de contactos (p = 0,019) sendo maior nas idosas com filhos de ambos sexos; na propor����o de rela����es de vizinhan��a na rede (p = 0,005), sendo menor nas idosas que t��m filhos de ambos os sexos; no apoio informativo (p = 0,022) e na reciprocidade (p = 0,005) sendo menores nas idosas com filhos do sexo masculino. Conclus��es: O nosso estudo revela que o sexo dos filhos influencia as redes sociais pessoais dos pais e m��es idosos/as a n��vel funcional, estrutural e relacional-contextual, sobretudo no caso das mulheres idosas, uma vez que as redes das idosas apresentam diferen��as nas tr��s dimens��es, o que n��o se verifica nos pais idosos, verificando-se tamb��m que os idosos com filhas do sexo feminino t��m redes mais centradas nas rela����es familiares. / Goals: This study aims to analyze the personal social networks structural, functional and relational-contextual characteristics of Portuguese seniors with offspring, according to their sex. Methodology: To the variables evaluation, we have used the Personal Social Network Analysis Instrument, Elderly Version (IARSP ��� Elderly) (Guadalupe, 2010; Guadalupe & Vicente, 2012) in order to evaluate the dimensions of the personal social network, and a questionnaire for demographic description. Participants: Our sample has 498 seniors with offspring, with an average of 75 years of age (DP = 7,487), between 65 and 98 years old, mostly females (60,8%), married (58,4%) with education (70,7%).The majority live on agglomeration (90,8%) and does not have the support of social services (78,1%). Results: In this analysis we've 3 groups: seniors with sons and daughters (n = 218; 43,7%), seniors with male offspring (n = 125; 25,2%) and seniors with female offspring ( n = 155; 31,2%). Seniors with daughters only shows higher values on material and instrumental support (p = 0,046), informative support (p = 0,018), social company (p = 0,018) and reciprocity support (p < 0,001). The network size is smaller on senior's with offspring, comparing the ones with sons and daughters (p = 0,012). On a separate analysis of the male and female seniors sample, it should be noticed that on the male seniors network there's been a difference on reciprocity only (p = 0,016) being less reciprocal the networks from the group exclusively with male sons; on the other end, on the female seniors network with sons and daughters there's been a difference on the network size (p = 0,015) and on the contact frequency (p = 0,019) being smaller on the seniors with offspring from both sex; on the proportion relation of network neighborhood (p = 0,005), smaller on the female seniors with sons and daughters; on informative support (p = 0,022) and on the reciprocity (p = 0,005), being smaller on the female seniors with male offspring. Conclusions: Our study reveals that the male and female offspring influences the personal social networks of senior mothers and fathers on a functional, structural and context-relational level, mostly on women, once that their network presents differences in the three dimension, something that does not happen with senior fathers, with the verification that the seniors with daughters do have social networks that are more centered in family relations.

Methodology: We used as instruments a questionnaire to evaluate sociodemographic data, the Instrumento de An��lise da Rede Social Pessoal (version for elderly people: IARSP-Idosos) (Guadalupe, 2010; Guadalupe e Vicente 2012) and the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Neto, 1989). Participants: The sample consists of 567 individuals with an average age of 75.53 years, mostly females (63.0%; n = 357). There is a predominance of married individuals (53.7%; n = 304) with children (87.8%; n = 498). Older people live mainly in cohabitation (n = 450; 79.4%), however 20.6% oh them live alone, constituting one-person households. Results: The elderly personal social networks have 8 elements, on average, with a predominance of family relationships (M = 76.89%). The participants perceived a high level of support from their networks. In general the networks are cohesive, with low dispersion and have frequent contacts. The women, single, widowed or divorced and childless elderly are more likely to live alone (p < 0.05) and to need social services support (p < 0.05). The single-person households, compared with those who do not live alone, have a greater number of relational fields and a higher proportion of friendships and neighborhood relations (p < 0.05). They have a lower perception of material and informative support, social company and acess to new ties and reciprocal support (p < 0.05). They also refer lowest frequency of contacts and a wider geographical dispersion (p < 0.05). In single-person households there was a negative significant correlation between the perception of loneliness and the social network size, the proportion of family relationships in the network, emotional and informational support and reciprocal support. Conclusions: The elderly single-person households perceived less support from their networks and a greater propensity to loneliness. It is critical to promot the quality of ties, rather then their quantity, throughout the life cycle, in order to maintain the network effectiveness even when the person lives alone.

A Fam��lia nas Redes Sociais Pessoais de Idosos

Objetivos: Analisar as carater��sticas sociodemogr��ficas e das redes sociais pessoais dos idosos de acordo com a composi����o das redes centrada na fam��lia. Metodologia: Para caraterizar as redes sociais pessoais utiliz��mos o Instrumento de An��lise da Rede Social e Pessoal ��� Idosos (IARSP-idosos) (Guadalupe, 2010; Guadalupe e Vicente, 2012) e um question��rio para descrever sociodemograficamente a amostra. Participantes: A amostra �� constitu��da por 567 idosos (M = 75,53 anos), com predomin��ncia do sexo feminino (64,1%). A maioria �� casada (53,8%) e det��m a 4�� classe (51,3%). Os participantes, na sua maioria, t��m filhos (87,8%) e n��o vivem s��s (79,4%). Resultados: As redes s��o compostas em m��dia por 8 elementos, dominadas por la��os familiares (M = 76,90%). S��o redes coesas, com rela����es interpessoais duradouras, com pouca dispers��o geogr��fica e elevada frequ��ncia de contactos. O apoio percebido nas redes �� sobretudo emocional e informativo. Quanto �� sua composi����o, 43,7% dos idosos t��m uma rede exclusivamente familiar, 53,4% redes com fam��lia e outros campos relacionais e apenas 2,8% apresentam redes sem fam��lia. Os idosos com 76-85 anos, casados e com agregado familiar numeroso t��m maior probabilidade de pertencer a redes exclusivamente familiares. Os idosos mais jovens e divorciados tendem a pertencer a redes mais diversificadas, enquanto as mulheres e os indiv��duos solteiros e sem filhos t��m maior probabilidade de n��o ter la��os familiares nas suas redes, compensando a sua aus��ncia com rela����es de amizade e de vizinhan��a. As redes exclusivamente familiares est��o associadas a maior perce����o de apoio emocional, material e instrumental, companhia social e reciprocidade de apoio. As redes com fam��lia e outras composi����es caraterizam-se por ter mais elementos e uma maior dispers��o geogr��fica. As redes sem fam��lia s��o as mais reduzidas e s��o normalmente homog��neas para o g��nero feminino e a n��vel et��rio, no grupo idoso. Conclus��es: Fica patente o papel central das fam��lias nas redes e no apoio informal. Contudo, ser�� essencial potenciar a diversifica����o e manuten����o dos v��nculos promovendo o acesso a novos contactos ao longo de todo o ciclo vital, de forma a garantir uma rede social pessoal diversificada e efetiva, em v��nculos e recursos, que complemente as necessidades e favore��a o bem-estar da pessoa idosa. / Objectives: To analyze the sociodemographical and personal social networks characteristics of the elderly according to the composition of the networks centered on the families. Methodology: For characterizing the personal social networks we used the Instrumento de An��lise da Rede Social Pessoal (IARSP-Idosos) (Guadalupe, 2010; Guadalupe e Vicente, 2012) and for sociodemographic characteristics we used a questionnaire. Participants: The sample consisted of 567 elderly (M = 75.53 years), mainly female (64.1%). The majority are married (53.8%) and have the 4th grade (51,3%). Overall the participants have offspring (87.8%) and do not live alone (79.4%). Results: On average, the networks have 8 elements, mostly relatives (M = 76.90%). The networks are cohesive, long-lasting, have a low geographical spread and we observed a high frequency of contacts. The networks provide mostly emotional (M = 2.64) and informative support (M = 2.37). Regarding its composition, 43.7% of the elderly have an exclusively family network, 53.4% have networks with family members and other relational fields and only 2.8% have no relatives in their networks. The elderly whose age is between 76-85 years, married and with a large household are more likely to belong to exclusively family networks. Younger and divorced elderly tend to belong to more diverse networks, as women and individuals unmarried and without offspring are more likely to do not have family bounds in their networks, with a higher proportion of friends and neighbors. Exclusively family networks are associated with greater perception of emotional, material and instrumental support, social company and reciprocal support. Networks with family and other fields are characterized by having more elements and a greater geographical spread. The social networks without family are smaller and are usually homogeneous for female gender and age, in the elderly group. Conclusions: The role of families in providing informational support is clear. However, it will be essential to enhance the diversification and maintain ties that promote access to new contacts throughout our entire life, to ensure a diversified social network that will be effective in bonds and resources that complement the needs and encourages the well-being of the elderly.

Methodology: The data collection was done through a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Satisfaction With Life Scale ��� SWLS (Diener, 1985) that evaluates the degree of satisfaction with life and also the Personal Social Network Analysis Tool ��� IARSP ��� Elderly (Guadalupe, 2009; Guadalupe & Vicente, 2012) for the analysis of personal social networks��� characteristics. Participants: The sample consisted of 416 elderly aged between 65 and 98 years (M = 76,15; SD = 7,584). Participants are both genders, but mostly female (63,7%; n =265). Most of the participants are married (51,2%; n = 213) and have education (64,2%; n = 267). Results: It is found that are the older women, married and with education that perceive a greater satisfaction with life. There is a greater proportion of elderly satisfied with the lives (53,8%; n = 83) compared to the moderately satisfied (26,2%; n = 109) and the unsatisfied (20%; n = 83). Seniors who have a higher satisfaction have a higher average in the proportion of family relationships in their networks (M = 80,67), emotional support, material and instrumental, informational, social companionship, and access to new bonds, and consider to be very satisfied with their social network (M = 2,92) and with the social support that it provides (M = 2,77). Conclusion: There were statistically significant associations in the structural characteristics of the network, however are the functional characteristics that allow us to state an association between life satisfaction in the elderly through interpersonal relationships, the content of relations and the support they perceive. We conclude that elderly people who consider themselves satisfied with life showed, in general, have more positive characteristics of social personal network when compared to those who perceive less satisfaction with life.

The Solidary Economy is an area that has shown unusual traits to what is preached in the traditional economic organizations, even organizations that have very similar principles, as some cooperatives. This trait is approaching the concept of isonomy proposed by Ramos (1989).

For this, we used the descriptive-exploratory research of qualitative nature, where the object of such research is the know enterprise, therefore, also characterized as a case study, which were taken as research subjects six associates, they being the most active in the enterprise. From the five categories that characterize isonomy - minimum standards prescribing, self-gratifying activity, activities undertaken as a vocation, wide system of making decision and primaries interpersonal relations - and from the traits of a solidary economic enterprise the data analysis was built, through content analysis, specifically the categorial analysis. Given this context and reality in which it is Grupo de Mulheres Decididas a Vencer, with minimal rules and procedures for conducting activities, comparing them to a therapy, women choosing to insert in that environment, faced with a democratic space and unfettered bureaucracy in professional interpersonal relationships, in others words, an organizational space where they were shown signs of substantive rationality was possible to conclude that the Group will share experiences and characteristics of isonomy. This disclosure meets the multidimensional social that presupposes Paraecomomic Paradigm, enabling man to enter in different social environments of the economy in order to search for self-actualization

Impacto das caracter��sticas e condições de trabalho no absentismo em assistentes operacionais de escolas e jardins de inf��ncia

O trabalho �� capaz de proporcionar sentimentos de identifica����o, permitindo a partilha de experi��ncias, a aquisi����o de status social e identidade profissional, mas tamb��m pode colocar o trabalhador em situa����es desagrad��veis. As condições a que os trabalhadores est��o expostos no seu trabalho e os constrangimentos organizacionais podem despoletar riscos para a sua sa��de mental, social e f��sica. A exposi����o a riscos psicossociais no trabalho tem consequ��ncias para a sa��de dos trabalhadores. Riscos estes que est��o relacionados com a organiza����o do trabalho, com o conte��do das tarefas e com o ambiente vivenciado no local de trabalho. Para al��m de consequ��ncias para a sa��de, a exposi����o a fatores de risco pode ter consequ��ncias que prejudicam o trabalhador, a organiza����o e a sociedade em geral, exemplo dessa consequ��ncia �� o absentismo. O absentismo �� caracterizado pela aus��ncia do trabalhador ao seu local de trabalho, podendo ter na sua ess��ncia m��ltiplas causas, sendo, por sua vez, causador de diversos problemas. A insatisfa����o com as condições e caracter��sticas do trabalho e os problemas de sa��de causados e agravados pela exposi����o aos riscos leva ao elevado absentismo.

�� preciso ter coragem: um estudo das narrativas de mulheres na pol��tica

�� na busca por compreender a inser����o e participa����o de mulheres na pol��tica partid��ria na contemporaneidade que esta disserta����o, situada na linha de pesquisa Culturas, Linguagens e Utopias, tem como objetivo analisar as narrativas de vereadoras de munic��pios que est��o localizados na regi��o sul do Rio Grande do Sul no per��odo de 2009-2012. O corpus de an��lise constitui-se de entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas com as onze vereadoras participantes a partir da metodologia de investiga����o narrativa. Partindo das contribui����es dos Estudos Culturais e de G��nero em suas vertentes p��s-estruturalistas procurou-se problematizar alguns discursos e pr��ticas que emergiram nas narrativas com base nas contribui����es da an��lise do discurso de Michel Foucault. Assim, verificou-se que a representa����o cultural das mulheres neste campo pol��tico est�� fundamentada em concep����es essencialistas do g��nero feminino como a sensibilidade. Isso vem provocando discuss��es na ci��ncia pol��tica e nos estudos de g��nero a partir de termos como pol��tica de ideias, pol��tica de desvelo que discutem a presen��a das mulheres em decorr��ncia ou n��o desses atributos. O fato �� que esses discursos v��m instituindo diferen��as na participa����o de homens e mulheres na pol��tica e constituindo formas de ser mulher na pol��tica partid��ria e de fazer pol��tica diferenciada das dos homens de forma menos ���dura���, ���r��gida���. Ao debru��ar-se na inser����o das mulheres nessa esfera p��blica constatou-se uma trajet��ria marcada pelas no����es de p��blico e privado que impediu ao longo de nossa hist��ria a participa����o das mulheres no campo pol��tico e o desenvolvimento de sua cidadania. Al��m disso, nas narrativas das vereadoras fica evidente que as mulheres n��o foram constitu��das para participarem do que hoje �� um direito seu: a esfera p��blica de decis��o da pol��tica. Isso foi constatado a partir do convite que foi feito para a candidatura pelos partidos que a partir das cotas partid��rias procuraram mais significativamente por mulheres para concorrer. Tamb��m se observou neste estudo o capital pol��tico de ingresso das mulheres nessa esfera: o capital familiar, capital dos movimentos sociais e capital de ocupa����o em cargos p��blicos. Quanto a participa����o das mulheres no cotidiano de seus mandatos identificamos a dificuldade de ser mulher e pol��tica na atualidade. As negocia����es com os partidos e os colegas, a concilia����o entre a fam��lia e a vida p��blica; os focos de atua����o dedicados as ��reas sociais e nesse destacamos mais significativamente a educa����o. Por fim, o que pretendemos foi desconfiar da m��xima ���lugar de mulher n��o �� na pol��tica��� e conhecer as trajet��rias e hist��rias de mulheres que cotidianamente entre conflitos e disputas lutam pelo seu lugar na esfera p��blica, pelo exerc��cio de sua cidadania.

Desenvolvimento de prot��tipo de aplicativo m��vel em Android�� para o controle e acompanhamento nutricional da sa��de ��ssea em mulheres menop��usicas

Following a drop in estrogen in the period of menopause some women begin to lose bone mass more than 1% per year reaching the end of five years with loss greater than 25%. In this regard, factors such as older age, low calcium intake and premature menopause favor the onset of osteoporosis. Preventive methods such as nutritional counseling to a proper diet and the support of technology through applications that assess dietary intake are essential. Thus, this study aimed to develop an application for Android�� platform focused on the evaluation of nutritional and organic conditions involved in bone health and risks for developing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. To achieve this goal we proceeded to a study of 72 women aged 46-79 years, from the physical exercise for bone health of the Laboratory for Research in Biochemistry and Densitometry the Federal Technological University of Paran�� program. Data were collected in the second half of 2014 through tests Bone Densitometry and Body Composition, Blood Tests, Anthropometric data and Nutrition Assessment. The study included women with a current diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis primary, aged more than 45 years postmenopausal. For the assessment of bone mineral density and body composition used the device Absorptiometry Dual Energy X-ray (DXA) brand Hologic Discovery TM Model A. For anthropometric assessment was included to body mass, height, abdominal circumference, Waist circumference and hip circumference. The instrument for assessing food consumption was used Recall 24 hours a day (24HR). The estimated intake of energy and nutrients was carried from the tabulation of the food eaten in the Software Diet Pro 4��. In a sub sample of 30 women with osteopenia / osteoporosis serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase tests were performed. The results demonstrated a group of women (n = 30) average calcium intake of 570mg / day (�� 340). The analysis showed a mean serum calcium within the normal range (10,20mg / dl �� 0.32) and average values and slightly increased alkaline phosphatase (105.40 U / L �� 23.70). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the consumption of protein and the optimal daily intake of calcium (0.375 p-value 0.05). Based on these findings, we developed an application early stage in Android�� platform operating system Google��, being called OsteoNutri. We chose to use Java Eclipse�� where it was executed Android�� version of the project; choice of application icons and setting the visual editor for building the application layouts. The DroidDraw�� was used for development of the three application GUIs. For practical tests we used a cell compatible with the version that was created (4.4 or higher). The prototype was developed in conjunction with the Group and Instrumentation Applications Development (GDAI) of the Federal Technological University of Paran��. So this application can be considered an important tool in dietary control, allowing closer control consumption of calcium and dietary proteins.
