Training Programmes Can Change Behaviour and Encourage the Cultivation of Over-Harvested Plant Species
Cultivation of wild-harvested plant species has been proposed as a way of reducing over-exploitation of wild populations but lack of technical knowledge is thought to be a barrier preventing people from cultivating a new species. Training programmes are therefore used to increase technical knowledge to encourage people to adopt cultivation. We assessed the impact of a training programme aiming to encourage cultivation of xaté (Chamaedorea ernesti-augusti), an over-harvested palm from Central America. Five years after the training programme ended, we surveyed untrained and trained individuals focusing on four potential predictors of behaviour: technical knowledge, attitudes (what individuals think about a behaviour), subjective norms (what individuals perceive others to think of a behaviour) and perceived behavioural control (self assessment of whether individuals can enact the behaviour successfully). Whilst accounting for socioeconomic variables, we investigate the influence of training upon these behavioural predictors and examine the factors that determine whether people adopt cultivation of a novel species. Those who had been trained had higher levels of technical knowledge about xaté cultivation and higher belief in their ability to cultivate it while training was not associated with differences in attitudes or subjective norms. Technical knowledge and perceived behavioural control (along with socio-economic variables such as forest ownership and age) were predictors of whether individuals cultivate xaté. We suggest that training programmes can have a long lasting effect on individuals and can change behaviour. However, in many situations other barriers to cultivation, such as access to seeds or appropriate markets, will need to be addressed

Representações Sociais das implicações legais da infecção hospitalar e de seu controle Representaciones Sociales de las implicaciones legales de la infección hospitalária y sú control Social Representations of the legal implications of nosocomial infection and its control
O estudo objetivou apreender as Representações Sociais das implicações legais da infecção hospitalar (IH) e analisar como essas representações se articulam com a qualidade do trabalho desenvolvido pelos profissionais da saúde e de direito. Os dados foram produzidos através de entrevistas e processados pelo software Alceste 4.8. A análise hierárquica descendente mostrou 04 classes de palavras, que objetivaram as implicações legais da IH, ancoradas nos aspectos ideológicos, históricos e sócio-culturais, no direito que o usuário da saúde tem de não correr riscos, resultantes de ocorrências causadas por negligência dos envolvidos no processo, devendo ser fiscalizadas pelos órgãos competentes para que os responsáveis respondam civilmente e penalmente, pelo descaso ou descuido na assistência hospitalar.<br>El estudio objectivó aprehender las representaciones sociales de las implicaciones legales de la infección hospitalaria (IH) y analizar como esas representaciones se articulan con la cualidad de trabajo desarrollado por los profesionales de la salud y de derecho.
