Análise psicológica do trabalho: dos conceitos aos métodos

With this article, we intend to present the theoretical and methodological framework of the work developed by Yves Clot.We will start by briefly situating the anchor points of his research and intervention proposals, as well as the goals he aims to reach.We can, then, state that the author, affiliated with the Russian school of psychology, has developed a group of studies with the purpose of identifying the relations established between subjectivity and work activity. His research studies start with real work situation analysis aimed at its transformation, which, assuming a historical and cultural perspective, implies understanding the developmental history of workers´ activities. In this intervention, the author tries to articulate the real and done, the individual and the collective, mobilizing methodologies that privilege the language mediation and of the others in order to (re)construct the professional rules valorised by its professionals. It is in the (re)construction of this professional genre that the workers encounter the difficulties that they must manage and respect, but it also becomes a resource for action itself.In Yves Clot´s perspective, this is the only way to guarantee the psychological function of work

How to position “amanhecer” and successfully communicate it to increase its market share?

This Work Project focuses on consumers’ behaviour towards convenience stores. Its main objectives are to understand how “Amanhecer” should position itself in the market and how it should be communicated. To address these objectives, first, secondary data was collected. Second, primary research was conducted, through in-store observations and in-depth interviews. Two main challenges were discovered: consumers’ distinct images of Amanhecer’s stores and the unclear positioning of the retailer in the market. To mitigate these challenges, “Amanhecer” should improve its brand identity and brand positioning, and adopt the recommendations made for the marketing and communications programs

Prevalencia de Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 1 en atención primaria y relación entre los objetivos de control y el desarrollo de complicaciones.

La Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) es una enfermedad crónica con prevalencia real desconocida pese a ser una de las enfermedades crónicas más comunes en pacientes jóvenes. Estos pacientes poseen un riesgo cardiovascular 10 veces mayor que los no enfermos y se espera que el número de casos aumente en los próximos años. Actualmente, el control y seguimiento de estos pacientes se realiza mayoritariamente desde Atención Primaria (AP) mediante la prueba de hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c). Las complicaciones pueden ser microangiopáticas (retinopatía, neuropatía, nefropatía) o macroangiopáticas (infarto de miocardio, angina, ictus, enfermedad arterial periférica).Grado en Medicin

Los malos tratos a la infancia: juristas reformadores y el debate sobre la patria potestad en el Código Civil español (1889-1936)

This paper is centred in the paternal authority that supposed, in Spain, an obstacle to protect children and girls of the child abused that suffered. The speech is analyzed generated by jurists and socials reformers who coincided in denouncing the inability of the tribunals to pursue the abuses and they demanded, for this reason, the reformation of the civil Code and the penal Code.El artículo se centra en la patria potestad, que supuso, en España, un obstáculo para proteger a los niños y niñas de los malos tratos que sufrían. Se analiza el discurso generado por juristas y reformadores sociales, quienes coincidían en denunciar la incapacidad de los tribunales para perseguir los abusos, y exigían, por esta razón, la reforma del Código Civil y el Código Penal

Sexismo ambivalente en la adolescencia y su relación con la autoestima

El objetivo de la presente investigación es identificar los niveles de sexismo ambivalente en una muestra de adolescentes, así como su relación con la autoestima. Para la recogida de datos se hace uso de dos instrumentos: Escala de detección de sexismo en adolescentes (DSA), constituida por 26 ítems y dividida en dos dimensiones: sexismo hostil y benevolente; y Escala de autoestima, constituida por 10 ítems. La población objeto de estudio se compone de 900 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria y Bachillerato pertenecientes a un instituto de Educación Secundaria de la provincia de Sevilla. La muestra escogida se compone de 152 estudiantes de edades comprendidas entre 12 y 17 años. Los resultados son presentados por grupos de edad y sexo, mostrando resultados significativos en torno a la correlación entre sexismo hostil y benevolente, y de estos con la autoestima. A raíz de estos resultados, se elabora una propuesta de intervención educativa.The aim of the present research is to identify the levels of ambivalent sexism in a sample of adolescents, as well as their relationship with self-esteem.

Cosmology with intensity mapping techniques using atomic and molecular lines

We present a systematic study of the intensity mapping technique using updated models for the different emission lines from galaxies and identify which ones are more promising for cosmological studies of the post reionization epoch. We consider the emission of ${\rm Ly\alpha}$, ${\rm H\alpha}$, H$\beta$, optical and infrared oxygen lines, nitrogen lines, CII and the CO rotational lines. We then identify that ${\rm Ly\alpha}$, ${\rm H\alpha}$, OII, CII and the lowest rotational CO lines are the best candidates to be used as IM probes. These lines form a complementary set of probes of the galaxies emission spectra. We then use reasonable experimental setups from current, planned or proposed experiments to access the detectability of the power spectrum of each emission line. Intensity mapping of ${\rm Ly\alpha}$ emission from $z=2$ to 3 will be possible in the near future with HETDEX, while far-infrared lines require new dedicated experiments. We also show that the proposed SPHEREx satellite can use OII and ${\rm H\alpha}$ IM to study the large-scale distribution of matter in intermediate redshifts of 1 to 4. We found that submilimeter experiments with bolometers can have similar performances at intermediate redshifts using CII and CO(3-2).Comment: 18 pages, 21 figures, 5 tables, published in MNRAS, typos correcte

Validation of the Portuguese Version of the Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire

The main objective of this study was the validation of the Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire (EVS II), using a confirmatory factorial analysis of the measurement model, with veteran athletes. A total of 348 veteran Portuguese athletes of both genders, aged between 30 and 60 years (M = 41.64, SD = 9.83), of whom 200 were males and 148 were females, from several sports. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis demonstrate the adequacy of the adapted version of the EVS II, as the factorial structure (6 factors/24 items) has acceptable validity indexes: χ2 = 305.925, p = 0.000, df = 120.017, χ2/df = 2.549, NFI (Normed Fit Index) = 0.909, TLI (Tucker Lewis Index) = 0.918, CFI (Comparative Fit Index) = 0.944, GFI (Goodness of Fit Index) = 0.944, AGFI (Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index) = 0.909, SRMR (Standardized Root Mean Square Residual) = 0.048, RMSEA (Root Mean Square of Approximation) = 0.060, allowing evaluation of the dimensions of balanced diet, respect for mealtime, tobacco and alcohol consumption, other drugs consumption and resting habits. The adaptation to sport of the Portuguese version of EVS II can be used with reasonable confidence in the evaluation of healthy lifestyles in the context of sportinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Nostalgic and Precarious: The Affective Power of Objects in Olga Ravn’s The Employees (2018)

   Olga Ravn’s The Employees: A workplace novel of the 22nd century (2020 [2018]) is made up of statements by the employees - both human and humanoid - of the Six-Thousand Ship, detailing their interactions with the objects that have been brought on board to increase productivity. The cryptic objects, collected by the employees in nearby missions to the planet New Discovery, are described as being a mix between biological and technological and diffuse sounds and smells stimulative to the senses, “as if the objects only existed to awaken particular feelings ... by way of their form and material.” Set in the future, I argue The Employees ultimately mobilises longing for an irrecoverable past, and an impossible future, to criticise the inherently anxious work-focused, late-capitalist society of the twenty-first century. To do so, I will engage with affect theory to shed light on how Ravn’s novel conceptualises work. By considering affect as shared and political, I will connect it to nostalgia, an affect which I will be claiming also has a political dimension. It is through a nostalgic longing for a different reality that the employees will be confronted with their own alienation, as the unattainability of dreams of happiness (Sara Ahmed) and of the “good life” (Lauren Berlant) is exposed. The shattering of such illusions is what will ultimately lead the humanoid employees to revolt, while the humans remain attached to a doomed promise of the “good life”. In the end, I will show how the novel illustrates that a sense of precarity is not exclusive to those who are captive of a flexible, casualised labour market, but to everyone who must work to remain alive.&nbsp
