Full textL’objectiu general d’aquesta tesi és estudiar el cribratge de càncer de mama i en concret les desigualtats socials per classe social i país d’origen, així com la seva relació amb la disminució de la mortalitat. En conseqüència, s’han realitzat quatre estudis diferents: tres de metodologia quantitativa i un de qualitativa. Segons l’estudi quasi-experimental, la mortalitat per càncer de mama a Barcelona disminueix des d’abans de la introducció del programa poblacional de cribatge, però aquesta reducció és més accentuada desprès de la seva introducció. En base a l’Enquesta Nacional de Salut de l’Estat Espanyol de l’any 2006, existeixen desigualtats en la realització de mamografies periòdiques segons país d’origen i classe social. Segons els dos estudis realitzats a Barcelona, les dones immigrades procedents de països de renda baixa coneixen i realitzen menys les pràctiques de detecció precoç, ja que tenen altres prioritats i perceben més barreres i tabús. Les dones xineses són les que presenten més diferències amb les dones autòctones, seguides de les magribines i les filipines. El lloc d’origen, la classe social i el procés migratori són factors claus en les practiques preventives. En conclusió, és necessari afavorir l’accés a les pràctiques preventives a totes les dones i també realitzar accions específiques dirigides als grups més vulnerables sense deixar de tenir en compte els factors socioculturals que influeixen en les pràctiques preventives de les dones.

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida em adultos de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos. Este estudo transversal foi realizado em adultos de 35 a 59 anos, residentes em São Paulo - SP. Sendo, 113 adultos que usam o serviço odontológico público e 97 adultos que utilizam o serviço odontológico privado. O impacto da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida foi avaliado com o instrumento Oral Health Profile Impact (OHIP-14), de 2 formas: O OHIP-14 gravidade (soma total) e OHIP-14 prevalência (uma ou mais classificação "frequentemente" e "sempre") que foram avaliados nas 7 dimensões. Os adultos do serviço público foram classificados como nível socioeconômico baixo (NSE baixo) e os adultos do serviço privado, como nível socioeconômico alto (NSE alto). Foram aplicados questionários para obter os dados sociodemográficos e características do serviço odontológico utilizado. O impacto da saúde bucal nos dois grupos de adultos de diferentes níveis socioeconômicos e foram comparados através do teste do Qui-quadrado e do teste Mann Whitney. Os grupos foram semelhantes quanto aos dados demográficos (idade e sexo). A média do OHIP-14 gravidade dos adultos do NSE baixo foi 11,5 (+11,3), e para os adultos do NSE alto foram 5,9 (+9,1). O grupo dos adultos do nível socioeconômico baixo apresentou maior impacto negativo no OHIP-14 prevalência 76,6% (n=49), quando comparado ao grupo dos adultos do nível socioeconômico alto, que foi de 23,4% (n=15). No OHIP-14 prevalência, o grupo do NSE baixo apresentou maior impacto em 4 dimensões: limitação física, desconforto psicológico, incapacidade psicológica e incapacidade social (p<0,05), e no OHIP-14 gravidade em todas as dimensões com exceção da limitação física (p>0,05). Os adultos dos níveis socioeconômicos baixos e altos relataram impacto negativo da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida. Entretanto, os adultos do nível socioeconômico baixo apresentaram impacto em quase todas as dimensões do instrumento, especialmente nos aspectos funcionais
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of oral health on quality of life in adults according to different socioeconomic levels. This cross-sectional study was carried out in adults aged 30 t0 59 years, living in São Paulo - SP. Being, 113 adults who use public dental service and 97 adults who use private dental service. The impact of oral health on quality of life was assessed with the instrument Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), 2 ways: OHIP-14 severity (total score) and OHIP-14 prevalence (one or more rating of often and always) was evaluated in seven dimensions. Adults from public service were classified as low socioeconomic status (low SES) and adults from private service, as high socioeconomic status (high SES). Questionnaires were used to obtain demographic data and characteristics of the service used. The impact of oral health in two groups of adults from different socioeconomic levels were compared using the chi-square and Mann- Whitney test. The groups were similar with regard to demographic data (age and gender). The mean OHIP-14 severity of adults of low was 11.5 (+ 11.3), and for adults of high SES was 5.9 (+ 9.1). The group of adult of low socioeconomic status had more negative impact on OHIP-14 prevalence 76.6% (n = 49) compared to the group of adult high socioeconomic status, which was 23.4% (n = 15). OHIP-14 prevalence in the group of low SES had higher impact on 4 dimensions: physical limitations, psychological discomfort, psychological disability and social disability (p < 0.05), and OHIP-14 severity in all dimensions except for physical limitation (p>0.05). Adults of low and high socioeconomic levels reported negative impact of oral health on quality of life. However, adults of low socioeconomic impact exhibited in almost all dimensions of the instrument, particularly in the functional aspects

Full textThis thesis is based on the identification of gender inequalities in occupational health described in scientific literature, as well as in the analysis of gender inequalities in employed population in Spain and Europe, and how these gender inequalities are influenced by the occupational social class, sector of activity of the company and welfare state regime. Firstly, we identified gender inequalities in exposure to occupational hazards arising from the employment and working conditions, as well as work-related health problems from a systematic review on the scientific literature in different databases. Secondly, we analyzed 25 indicators of gender inequalities related to employment and working conditions, balancing job and family life and work-related health problems. To achieve this objective, we analyzed the sixth edition of the National Survey on Working Conditions from 2007. In addition, we explored how these 25 indicators of gender inequalities varied according to occupational social class and sector of activity of the company. Finally, we analyzed how the welfare state regime and the occupational social class could influence gender inequalities in the exposure to work-related psychosocial hazards. To achieve this objective, we analyzed the fourth edition of the European Survey on Working Conditions from 2005.

Full textThis thesis examines the way working class children’s practices and representations of science areconstructed. It aims to renew the approach of persistent inequalities in access to science pathwaysand careers, in which women and people from the working class and/or ethno-racial minoritiesremain largely underrepresented. In order to question power relationships underlying access toscience in a new way, this research considers science not only as a body of knowledge and aprofessional eld, but also as a culture. Evidence for this study comes from longitudinal interviewsconducted with about 50 children (two interviews, in the 4th and 6th grade) and with parents,teachers, and science mediators. The analysis also relies on the detailed ethnographic study (4years of observation in classrooms) of an educational project aimed at promoting equality inscience which involved part of our sample, thus questioning the effects of this type of program.The thesis establishes that the social construct of gendered, classed and racialised patterns ofattitudes to science is the result of science-related cultural practices developed during childhood.On the one hand, several instances of cultural socialization (family, siblings, peers, school)combine to favor or hinder the development of children’s science hobbies. On the other hand, thescientific culture that children from the working class consume and practice leads them to constructrepresentations of science as other, and devoid of identificatory possibilities. This discourages girlsand boys from formulating science aspirations

The purpose of this research is to analyses the professional path of black women in multinational companies in São Paulo. The research looked at the diversity polices that these companies their procedures practices and try to answer how that influence on the career path of black women. We used for theory perspective the studies of durable inequalities stablish in the organizations and in the societies of Charles Tilly (1999) associated with the theory discussion of intersectionality of oppressions that has occurred belonging the racial, gender and social class perspectives from the black feminism, consolidated for Patrícia Hill Collins (2000) and Kimberlé Crehshaw (1993), about the definitions of matrix of domination and intersectionality of oppressions from race, gender and social class perspectives. The research uses qualitative method such as life history and the method of analyses was the thematic analyses. Semi-structured questionnaire was applied with six black women worked in multinationals companies in São Paulo. We began for the analyses of the black women path in the companies and about the process, polices of diversity promotion for identify the socio-organizational aspects that interfere in their professional path; which the individual and collective strategies that women deployed for compete in the labor market and if the diversity polices implemented for the companies contribute (or not) with their professional path. Based on the analyses of the interviews with these black women the research highlights the following: the research also provides insights that most of these women they come from low social class and their path showed a mix of oppressions belongs to the racial, gender and social class characteristics and all of them had to confront in company’s environment. This environment is still homogeneous – White, masculine and upper class – hampered and putted barrier to be win for the black women for the fact that the categorical peer woman/black/poor intervene with as durable inequality, individually and collectively for their women. These durable inequalities stablish the apprehension and control to access to the productive resources in the organizations, build discrimination related and analyzed in the interviews of the black women professional path, in the basic mechanisms of perpetuation of these durable inequalities could be identify and analyses in the existence of black women in companies, in this present thesis.

A presente pesquisa visa analisar as trajetórias profissionais de mulheres negras em empresas multinacionais em São Paulo, atendo-se às políticas de diversidade que essas multinacionais vêm empreendendo. Trata-se de compreender se as práticas, os processos e os procedimentos de valorização da diversidade interferem na trajetória profissional dessas mulheres. A pesquisa lança mão dos estudos sobre desigualdades duráveis e a discussão que o mesmo estabelece para compreender as organizações em sociedades desiguais, como os estudos de Charles Tilly (1999). Esta perspectiva associa-se à discussão teórica da interseccionalidade de opressões, advindas dos pertencimentos racial/de gênero/de classe social; dos estudos do feminismo negro, consolidados por Patrícia Hill Collins (2000) e Kimberlé Crehshaw (1993), sobre as definições dos conceitos: de matrix de dominação e insterseccionalidade de opressões, relacionados ao pertencimento de raça, gênero e classe social. Foram realizadas entrevistas junto a seis mulheres negras que trabalham em empresas multinacionais em São Paulo. Partiu-se da análise das trajetórias delas nas empresas e dos processos, práticas e procedimentos de promoção de políticas de diversidade para identificar os aspectos sócio-organizacionais que interferem nas trajetórias dessas mulheres; quais as estratégias individuais e coletivas que elas utilizaram para competir no mercado de trabalho e, ainda, se as políticas de diversidade implementadas pelas empresas contribuíram (ou não) para suas trajetórias. A pesquisa utilizou a história de vida como abordagem metodológica qualitativa e, como análise de conteúdo, o método de exame das entrevistas. Alguns dos principais resultados encontrados indicam que a maioria das mulheres negras entrevistadas advém de classes sociais baixas e suas trajetórias apresentam um mix de opressões, resultantes do pertencimento racial, de gênero e classe social; aspectos presentes no âmbito das empresas. Tais espaços ainda são homogêneos – brancos, masculinos e ricos – dificultando e impondo barreiras a serem vencidas pelas mulheres negras, devido ao trio categórico mulher/negra/pobre se interpor como uma desigualdade durável, não só individualmente, mas também de forma grupal para estas mulheres. Essas desigualdades duráveis estabeleceram a detenção e controle ao acesso de recursos produtivos nas organizações, criando distinções narradas e analisadas nas trajetórias profissionais das mulheres negras entrevistadas, nos quais os mecanismos básicos de perpetuação destas desigualdades duráveis puderam ser identificados e analisados no caso da vivência profissional de mulheres negras em empresas.

Full textAlthough the "Beaux quartiers” are less subject to sociological investigation, they remain prominent segregated spaces in France. Studies and research on the bourgeoisie and on specific spaces of the bourgeoisie are often focused on large French cities such as Paris, Lyons or Marseilles. A smaller city such as Metz has never been studied solely in terms of its bourgeois population.The objective of this dissertation is to examine the socioeconomic characteristics of the Metz bourgeoisie and the way in which it is distributed within the Metz urban area. The latter encompasses the central city of Metz and also its suburbs and suburban ring. Our research is based on empirical material consisting of semi-structured interviews conducted with representative members of the Metz bourgeoisie or highly regarded bourgeois and aristocratic Metz families, as well as with various specialists (real estate agents specialising in prestigious properties, art historians, etc.). In order to grasp the complexity of the Metz bourgeoisie, various statistical and cartographic indicators but also photographic material were used.Firstly, the study presents a state of the art on social and territorial fragmentation in France so as to highlight upward ghettoization.Secondly, the study sheds light on the main benchmarks of wealth and its estimation, while specifying the representational and multidimensional aspects. In addition, the challenges and difficulties of studying wealth and the bourgeoisie are also explained.The Metz bourgeoisie is then studied through the fourfold prism of its residential distribution, its sociability spaces, its socio-economic and socio-electoral characteristics, but also the prism of some of the city's great emblematic families – after a historical perspective.Finally, the study describes and comparatively analyses a particular space of the Metz bourgeoisie – the “Nouvelle Ville” neighbourhood – by showing elements of urban and social morphology and by explaining the criteria of residential selection and the forms of sociability specific to the inhabitants of this rich self-segregated neighbourhood

Full textThe present research focuses on the profiles and processes underlying successful educational paths of some students with working class background and of African descent (school counter-trend paths) in order to contribute to the understanding of school social inequalities. We explore the results of several researches on this kind of paths, many of them interested in the families educational strategies and styles, but also studies, some of them related with the "theories of reproduction," dedicated to the processes of "relative exclusion" that permeate the school massification and the specificity of the school experience of the "new students". The data from the Observatório de Trajetos dos Estudantes do Ensino Secundário and 20 interviews with protagonists of counter-trend paths allowed us to observe that the construction of these paths are anchored at a varying and sufficiently durable combinations of factors that we organize in a typology. From the point of view of the school inequalities debate, we highlight the deep challenges of economic exclusion; disparities in conditions of "cultural continuity" of departure; but also aspects that have to do specifically with the school experience of students and the inclusive or exclusive potential of the 'circuits of schooling'. In different ways, these aspects constitute important obstacles, in the outset and along the school pathways, to the (re) construction of a meaningful sense for the educational project and school success of the working class students, especially the most marginalized segments of it, many of them of African descent.
