Chapter 2 Psychological factors linked to youth civic and political engagement

What exactly is civic and political participation? What factors influence young people’s participation? How can we encourage youth to participate actively in their own democracies? Youth Civic and Political Engagement takes a multidisciplinary approach to answering these key questions, incorporating research in the fields of psychology, sociology, political science and education to explore the issues affecting youth civic and political engagement. Drawing on evidence that has been obtained in many different national contexts, and through multinational studies, this book provides a theoretical synthesis of this large and diverse body of research, using an integrative multi-level ecological model of youth engagement to do so. It identifies unresolved issues in the field and offers numerous suggestions for future research. Youth Civic and Political Engagement is an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, youth workers, civil society activists, policymakers and politicians who wish to acquire an up-to-date understanding of the factors and processes that influence young people’s civic and political engagement, and how to promote youth engagement

On-call communication in intensive care areas in the nursing staff

Background: The on-call process is considered an essential component for continuity of care, since it allows optimizing resources, prioritizing activities and guaranteeing comprehensive care.Aim: To describe the perception of the quality of information communication during the on-call process in intensive care areas.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out. All intensive care area personnel were invited to participate on a voluntary basis. The sample finally consisted of 56 nursing professionals.Results: 76.8% were female. Less than three quarters of the respondents received training or induction on on-call duty, although more than 90 % of the respondents reported that training in this area is important. 71.4% report more than three interruptions during the pass and 55.4% say that communication was effective. About 30 % of the sample faced family conflicts.Conclusions: From the nursing staff's perspective, the quality of on-call communication was characterized by shortcomings in terms of the environment, protocolization of the on-call pass, environmental conditions and the relationship with family members

NOTAS PARA UMA PESQUISA SOBRE LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO NO MUNDO DO TRABALHO

In this article, we reflect on the realization of a study that aims to map and define the possibilities of freedom of expression in the world of work, from the contact with organizations that manifest themselves as aligned with the principles of human rights. The theoretical framework adopted includes the binomial communication and work and contributions from the sociology of work. From a methodological point of view, we use notes made in a research diary. Analysis of the records shows that access to information beyond authorized and published discourse by organizations is problematic and contradictory to public statements in support of human rights. Such difficulty points to a daily control characteristic of contemporary society in which the expression of workers is seen as a threat to the stability of corporate discourse. Add to this the incidence of the culture of silence that cuts across social relations in Brazil.Neste artigo, refletimos sobre a realização de um estudo que visa mapear e definir as possibilidades de liberdade de expressão no mundo do trabalho, a partir do contato com organizações que se manifestam como alinhadas aos princípios de direitos humanos. O referencial teórico adotado inclui o binômio comunicação e trabalho e aportes da sociologia do trabalho. Do ponto de vista metodológico, nos valemos de notas realizadas em diário de pesquisa. A análise dos registros demonstra que o acesso a informações para além do discurso autorizado e divulgado pelas organizações se revela problemático e contraditório com as declarações públicas de apoio aos direitos humanos. Tal dificuldade aponta para um controle cotidiano característico da sociedade contemporânea em que a expressão de trabalhadores é vista como ameaça à estabilidade do discurso empresarial. Some-se a isso a incidência da cultura do silêncio que atravessa as relações sociais no Brasil

IMAGE CYTOMETRY FOR DNA ANALYSIS IN ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA CORRELATED WITH OTHER PROGNOSTIC PARAMETERS

We evaluated by static cytometry DNA ploidy parameters in 30 stage I-IV endometrial carcinomas and correlated these data with standard clinical-pathological features and disease-free period. We observed a direct correlation between either non-diploid DNA content and deeper myometrial invasion (p<0.02) or D.I.greater than or equal to 1.2 and M2-M3 tumors (p<0.009). The Kaplan Meier survival curves illustrate a more rapid relapse of disease associated with non-diploidy, high 5cExR, high level of proliferation and D.I.greater than or equal to 1.2. while Cox regression model gave relative hazards for disease recurrence of 4, 6, 3.7 and 2.1 for non-diploidy, D.I.greater than or equal to 1.2, high 5cExR and high level of proliferation respectively. This prospective study confirmed the prognostic value of DNA Index, and its usefulness in clinical practice especially in stage I cases, otherwise characterised by favourable standard prognostic factors, is discussed

Narratividade e autoria na pesquisa em comunicação alternativa no Brasil

A trajetória de termos como imprensa alternativa, comunicação alternativa e jornalismo alternativo tem sido objeto de estudos integrantes de uma rede de sentidos formadora de uma narratividade que pode ser retraçada pela análise discursiva. Com base no levantamento de teses e dissertações disponíveis na biblioteca digital do Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência Tecnologia, este artigo sintetiza a investigação realizada para compreender como se formam conceitos, sentidos e narrativas na pesquisa acadêmica sobre essa temática. A análise mostra que a Ditadura Civil-Militar (1964-1985) é um marco para o estabelecimento dessa narrativa; porém, a continuidade desse imaginário é pouco explorada depois do período. Emerge então o interesse por uma comunicação alternativa de escopo mais amplo, relacionada à comunicação popular. &nbsp;The trajectory of terms such as press, communication and alternative journalism has been the object of studies that integrate a network of meanings that composes a narrative about that can be retraced in discursive analysis. This article summarizes the research carried out to understand how concepts, meanings and narratives are formed in academic research on this subject, based on a survey of theses and dissertations in Ibict digital library. The analysis shows that the civil-military dictatorship (1964/1985) is a milestone for the establishment of this narrative, but the continuity of this imaginary is little explored after that period. The interest in an alternative communication of broader scope, related to popular communication, emerges
