Tráfico de personas: una banalización más del mal moderno

This essay analyses one of the saddest and most lamentable problems of today, which is the trafficking of human beings in the world for sexual exploitation, forced labor, organ commercialization, and many other ends. Such practices, covered here by the rubric of human trafficking, are rejected by most of the countries; however, this is a profitable and growing business.En el presente ensayo se analizará uno de los problemas más tristes y lamentables en la actualidad: el tráfico de seres humanos en el mundo para la explotación sexual, para el trabajo forzado, para la comercialización de órganos y otras tantas finalidades. Tales prácticas, aquí capitaneadas bajo la rúbrica del tráfico de personas, es rechazada por la mayoría de los países; sin embargo, este negocio es rentable y creciente

Proposta de ferramenta de gestão para avaliação de desempenho ambiental e financeiro baseada nas metodologias de ACV e ACCV

TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Tecnológico. Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental.Como resposta a crescente preocupação com o meio ambiente, o mercado está abrindo espaço para empresas que tenham como prática em seus negócios políticas e programas de gestão ambiental, que comprovem sua preocupação para com o meio ambiente. Para avaliar a situação ambiental nas empresas, criou-se uma ferramenta de gestão interna para a avaliação do desempenho ambiental e financeiro. A Análise de Ciclo de Vida (ACV) está se concretizando como uma metodologia de prestígio na avaliação de desempenho ambiental. Na busca por torná-la mais aplicável, diversos métodos de simplificação já foram criados, entre eles, as matrizes de avaliação. Buscando uma análise mais completa e estratégica, começam a serem estudadas maneiras de integrar a ACV, com análises financeiras, como a Análise do Custo do Ciclo de Vida (ACCV). A ACCV vem sendo usada de forma generalizada como uma ferramenta de engenharia, porém cada vez mais está sendo utilizada como uma ferramenta de gestão, como análise de custos. Este TCC propôs uma ferramenta de gestão interna para avaliar o desempenho ambiental e financeiro com base nas simplificações das metodologias de ACV e ACCV. A ferramenta é composta por checklists, matriz de avaliação e gráfico de desempenho individual, tanto para meio ambiente quanto para Custos. Por fim, é gerado um gráfico consolidado com as informações ambientais e de custos cruzadas, proporcionando uma visualização da postura ambiental da empresa em todos os estágios do ciclo de vida

Knowledge translation in public health, a case study in Manguinhos, Brazil

Le transfert de connaissances (TC) est un processus de collaboration entre les producteurs de connaissances (principalement des chercheurs) et les utilisateurs des connaissances (communautés, intervenants et décideurs) impliquant de nombreux éléments comme la synthèse, la diffusion et le partage. Cette thèse a pour objectifs de comprendre le TC dans différents projets de recherche et pratiques de gestion et de proposer une feuille de route de TC adapté au contexte brésilien. Plus spécifiquement, elle visait à : i) décrire trois projets comme exemples de trois modalités différentes de TC, ii) effectuer une analyse rétrospective des actions et stratégies de TC mises en œuvre par trois projets du réseau PDTSP-Teias couvrant la période de 2009 à 2013, et iii) vérifier comment la participation au réseau PDTSP-Teias a facilité le TC entre les producteurs et les utilisateurs de connaissances. À cette fin, cette thèse examine les pratiques de TC entre la recherche en promotion de la santé et la pratique de la santé dans le Programme de développement et d'innovation technologique en santé publique / Programa de Desenvolvimento e Inovação Tecnológica em Saúde Pública (réseau PDTSP-Teias). Un plan de TC existant de l'Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) a été utilisé comme cadre théorique pour orienter l'approche déductive-inductive utilisée pour générer et analyser les données provenant des documents, d‘entrevues et de groupe de discussion. Méthodes : Cette thèse a utilisé une étude de cas multiple rétrospective qualitative avec trois cas imbriqués dans le réseau PDTSP-Teias. L'accent était mis sur des questions suivantes : i) quelles approches de TC le réseau PDTSP-Teias a-t-il adoptées, ii) quelles actions et stratégies de TC les trois projets du réseau PDTSP-Teias ont-ils mis en œuvre, et iii) comment la participation au réseau PDTSP-Teias a-t-elle facilité le TC entre les utilisateurs et les producteurs de connaissances. Les données empiriques comprenaient l'analyse de documents (rapports, ouvrages et articles scientifiques), des entretiens semi-structurés avec des producteurs de connaissances (N = 9) et un groupe de discussion avec des utilisateurs des connaissances (N = 4 participants). Les entretiens portaient sur le développement des projets, l'élaboration de produits de TC et l'interaction entre les producteurs et les utilisateurs de connaissances. Résultats : En ce qui concerne le premier objectif, nous avons pu distinguer différentes expertises, approches et pratiques de TC des groupes de recherche. De cette première analyse, des exemples de trois pratiques différentes de TC ont été identifiés comme étant Majoritaire, Modéré et Peu ou Pas du tout. Ces exemples ont ensuite été analysés à l'aide des huit dimensions proposées par le cadre théorique utilisé. Le deuxième objectif a constaté que six des huit dimensions analysées semblaient être mieux intégrées dans les projets : D1 Analyse du contexte et besoins des utilisateurs, D2 Connaissances à traduire, D3 Connaissances sur les utilisateurs des connaissances, D4 Partenaires de TC, D5 Stratégies de TC et D6 Approche globale de TC. Cependant, deux dimensions étaient moins bien intégrées : D7 L'évaluation de TC et D8 Les ressources. Le troisième objectif nous a permis de constater que le manque d'évaluation des projets de TC, les questions liées aux ressources financières des projets de TC, le manque de soutien organisationnel et politique pour les projets de TC, et le manque d’outils conceptuels de TC pour la mise en œuvre des projets sont des obstacles au TC au Brésil. Toutefois, la participation au réseau PDTSP-Teias semble avoir favorisé les pratiques de TC. Ces résultats ont fourni une description et une analyse approfondie de la complexité des pratiques de TC contribuant ainsi à une meilleure compréhension des pratiques de TC au Brésil. Conclusion : Compte tenu de la manière dont les cas ont été caractérisés, on peut conclure que les pratiques de TC peuvent être très différentes même dans un contexte et des conditions de recherche similaires. Ces pratiques TC contrastées peuvent être dues à l'absence d'un outil conceptuel de TC approprié. Un tel outil peut combler le vide dans les approches et stratégies de TC du Brésil. Ainsi, l'adaptation du plan de TC du INSPQ peut permettre l'évolution du dialogue entre les producteurs et les utilisateurs de connaissances dans les projets de recherche, comprendre le contexte, et contribuer à la validation et à l'adoption des produits de TC. Ces changements profiteraient au changement des connaissances, des attitudes et des comportements des différents groupes impliqués. Enfin, cette thèse propose une adaptation fondamentale du plan de TC du INSPQ au contexte brésilien.Knowledge translation (KT) is a collaborative process between knowledge producers (mostly researchers) and knowledge users (communities and decision-makers) involving many elements like synthesis, dissemination, and sharing. This thesis' main objectives are to understand KT in different research projects and management practices and propose a KT roadmap adapted to the Brazilian context. The three specific objectives pursued were to: i) describe three projects as examples of three different modalities of KT, ii) perform a post hoc analysis of the KT actions and strategies implemented by three projects of the PDTSP-Teias network in the period from 2009 to 2013, and iii) verify how participation in the PDTSP-Teias network facilitated KT between knowledge producers and knowledge users. To this end, this thesis examines KT practices between health promotion research and health practice in the Program for Technological Development and Innovation in Public Health/Programa de Desenvolvimento e Inovação Tecnológica em Saúde Pública (PDTSP-Teias network). An existing KT plan from the Quebec Public Health Institute (Institut national de santé publique du Québec - INSPQ) was employed as a theoretical framework to orient the deductive-inductive approach used to generate and analyze documents, interviews, and focus group materials. Methods: This thesis used a retrospective qualitative multiple case study with three cases nested in the PDTSP-Teias network. The focus was on relevant questions concerning KT in health promotion in Brazil, such as i) what KT approaches did the PDTSP-Teias network adopt, ii) what KT actions and strategies did the three projects of the PDTSP-Teias network implement, and iii) how did participation in the PDTSP-Teias network facilitate KT between knowledge users and knowledge producers. The empirical data included document analysis (reports, books, and scientific papers), semi-structured interviews with knowledge producers (N=9), and one focus group with knowledge users (N=4 participants). The interview guide addressed three sets of questions: project development, KT product elaboration, and interaction between knowledge producers and knowledge users. Results: Regarding the first objective, we were able to distinguish different KT expertise, approaches, and practices of the research groups. From this initial analysis, examples of three different KT practices were identified as Predominantly, Moderately, and Hardly or Not at all. These examples were then analyzed using the eight dimensions proposed by the theoretical framework. The second objective found that six of the eight dimensions analyzed seemed to be better integrated in the projects: D1 Analysis of the Context and Users’ Needs, D2 Knowledge to be Translated, D3 Knowledge about the Knowledge Users, D4 KT Partners, D5 KT Strategies, and D6 Overall KT Approach. However, two dimensions were less well-integrated: D7 KT Evaluation and D8 Resources. The third objective allowed us to see that the lack of KT project evaluation, issues related to KT projects financial resources, lack of organizational and political support addressed to KT projects, and lack of conceptual KT tools to implement KT projects are barriers to KT in Brazil. Nevertheless, albeit with some limits, participation in the PDTSP-Teias network seems to have facilitated KT practices. These results provided a description and an in-depth analysis of the complexity of KT practices in areas of high social vulnerability and contributed to a better understanding of KT practices in Brazil. Conclusion: Considering how the cases were characterized, it can be concluded that KT practices can be quite different even in a similar context and research conditions. These contrasting KT practices may be due to the absence of a suitable conceptual KT tool. Such a tool can fill the gap in Brazil's KT approaches and strategies. Thus, the adaptation of the INSPQ KT plan can allow the evolution of the dialogue between knowledge producers and knowledge users in research projects, understand the context, and contribute to the validation and adoption of KT products. These changes would benefit the change in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of the different groups involved. Lastly, this thesis offers a seminal adaptation of the INSPQ KT plan to the Brazilian context

Challenging performances of hegemony in Tango: liberation through pedagogy

Research Report required for the completion of Master of Arts – Applied Drama (MAAD) Drama for Life - Wits School of Arts - Wits University March 2015This study aims to explore ideas of liberation in relation to the present tendencies of gender representation in Tango. I argue that the traditional pedagogic model, observed in Johannesburg, tends to perpetuate hegemonic discourses mainly through terminology in which gender binaries, codes and subjectivities are normalized. Such representations reduce, or even reject, plurality and diversity by sustaining specific power dynamics, necessarily related to the role of men and women. Tango is characterized by certain aesthetic elements described in this thesis, and here I prioritize the analysis of its role as a social dance, in the category of couples’ dances. I argue that couples’ dances are embedded in historically and socially constructed stereotypes; thus, the dynamics observed in balls are not capable of reflecting present gender complexities and identities. To do so, I first present a critical reflection of the history of couples’ dances and Tango, along with my own lived experience as a movement facilitator. Then, I present descriptions of the first phase of the research, the Performance as Research (PAR) project in which I aimed to deconstruct hegemony by challenging gender fixities. The PAR included creative processes, interviews, performance, media and textual production, and the main outcome was related to the pedagogy of dance, presenting the DE-GENDERED MODEL of teaching-learning. In the second phase of research, or what I call the fieldwork, I engaged with different methods, such as dance meetings based on investigative approaches, body mapping, micro-performance, group discussions and questionnaires to collect data together with a group of 9 participants. I made sense of all the information collected during PAR, and, given by participants during fieldwork, by correlating theories of performance, critical pedagogy, gender and queer studies, with the purpose of including collaborative pathways of embodiment

The impact of smart home technologies on well-being

Dissertation presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Knowledge Management and Business IntelligenceMost studies on technology innovation lack research on well-being, focusing mainly on innovation for wealth. Research has shown that smart home technologies will be one of EU’s top priorities and are expected to increase user’s quality of life. This study aims to understand how the adoption/use of smart home technologies can influence user’s well-being. To understand this phenomenon, we combined two prominent theories in IS studies: the expectation-confirmation theory (ECT) and the unified theory of acceptance of technology 2 (UTAUT2). This study is based on an online survey with a sample of 309 responses. Findings suggest that satisfaction moderates the relationship between user’s adoption of smart home technology and their well-being. Results indicate that the adoption of smart home technologies alone does not directly influence user’s well-being, being necessary to measure user’s smart home technologies satisfaction to understand this phenomenon
