Cattell, Victoria R. "Poverty, community and health : social networks as mediators between poverty and well-being." Thesis, Middlesex University, 1997. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/9776/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that social networks are key mediators between the harsh circumstances of people's lives and their lived experience and perceptions of health and well being. The thesis offers a critical review of the literature on health inequalities and social networks and health and from this identifies key concepts which serve as analytical/heuristic tools in approaching a study of the dynamics between poverty, community and health in the Lea Valley area of London. The complexities of the relationship between these various aspects of life are currently under researched in the literature. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are utilised. A statistical overview of the Lea Valley was undertaken and confirmed relationships between lower social class, poverty and deprivation (on a comprehensive range of measures) and poor health for the region. The evidence is considered in relation to current conceptual approaches to poverty. Two deprived areas are chosen as exemplary case studies and through detailed analysis of interview data the relationship between neighbourhood, social networks and the experience of health and well being is illustrated. Different social network formations were found to mediate poverty and health in different ways. Local patterns of social networks were influenced by local structural and historical features, by facilities and opportunities, including opportunities for positive neighbouring, for forming friendship networks, and for participation in local life as well as for casual interaction. Individuals' social networks were influenced by characteristics of their neighbourhood, by their perceptions of their community as well as by their experience of work, their values, and attitudes to others. It is suggested that the range of membership groups in an individual's network has implications for the mechanisms involved in the relationship between networks and health. Health promoting functions of networks and health protecting or damaging attributes and attitudes were found to be closely related to the type of network identified. Different network models also helped people to cope with poverty and life’s problems in different ways. It is concluded that social networks, attitudes and values, coping resources and health and well being are closely linked. A conception of social cohesion at the neighbourhood level is offered, based on interaction, strong community perceptions, solidarity, trust, inclusion and tolerance, with adequate distribution of resources and availability of work as preconditions.

Full textAbstract:
Natural ecosystems are strongly affected by changes in resource supply (bottom-up forces) and by changes in upper trophic levels (top-down forces). The extent to which these processes impact a system depends largely on the responses of organisms at middle trophic levels. In seagrass beds, a group of mid-level consumers known as mesograzers form a critical link in the chain of impact, connecting seagrass and epiphytic algae with predatory fishes and crustaceans. I observed dramatic seasonal and interannual changes in mesograzer abundance and species composition in eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds of lower Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, and endeavored to explain the top-down and bottom-up causes and consequences of those changes with field studies and controlled experiments. A field cage experiment showed that grazing, predation and nutrient enrichment all had strong effects on the eelgrass community, but that the effects of each factor varied for different community components (Chapter 1). A second experiment delved deeper into the predation dynamic by manipulating the diversity of both predators and mesograzers in macroalgal mesocosms. Increasing predator diversity increased the strength of predation, but increasing mesograzer diversity conferred resistance to some types of predation (Chapter 2). to assess the influence of top-down and bottom-up forces in a more natural context, I analyzed the long-term changes in biotic and abiotic components of an eelgrass bed at the Goodwin Islands National Estuarine Research Reserve. I found that abiotic processes had strong effects on both consumer and resource abundance, and could therefore initiate either top-down or bottom-up control of eelgrass community structure (Chapter 3). to examine this top-down and bottom-up control in more detail I explicitly compared the ecological relationships seen in the field to those observed in mesocosm experiments. Mesocosm experiments tended to find a greater influence of top-down effects and a lesser influence of bottom-up effects, relative to field observations (Chapter 4). Finally, I took a snapshot of the eelgrass food web itself by examining the gut contents and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios of predators, mesograzers, and plants. I found that direct grazing on eelgrass does occur, but that microalgae and detritus provide the main trophic support for the epifaunal community (Chapter 5). Overall, my results suggest that both top-down and bottom-up forces control eelgrass community structure via mesograzers, but that top-down control in the field is more subtle and more intimately tied with bottom-up control than has been indicated by some manipulative experiments.

Solomon, Monica D'adrianne. "Religiosity, Spirituality, and Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults in an Active Living Community." Scholar Commons, 2014. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/5129.
Full textAbstract:
The population of older adults in the United States is steadily rising. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released a call to reduce mental distress in older adults. Research shows that mental distress is associated with depressive symptoms, which are significantly related to many chronic medical conditions, functional impairment, suicide, and all-cause mortality. Depression is a major public health concern. There is an interest in gerontology research on the buffering role of engagement against depressive symptoms such as volunteering, social activities, and religion. Certain religious beliefs and behaviors contribute to maintaining or improving mental health and research suggests that religiosity may act as a buffer against depressive symptoms. As the population of older adults exponentially increases, there is a need for theory guided research that examines the relationship between religiosity and depressive symptoms and mediators as possible mechanisms.
This study addresses two important gaps in the literature on depressive symptoms within the religious gerontology field: the relationships of a wider range of religious variables with depressive symptoms, and examining health behaviors and social support as mediators. Data were collected from the University of South Florida (USF) Health in The Villages study, a population-based study of older adults residing in an active living community in southwest central Florida. Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted that examined multiple measures of religiosity (organizational religiosity, subjective religiosity, and subjective spirituality) and covariates as predictors of depressive symptoms as defined by the Patient Health Questionaire-2 (PHQ-2). The PHQ-2 is a validated 2-item screener tool for measuring depressive symptoms. A series of mediation analyses were conducted to test for possible mediation of religiosity and depressive symptoms. Proposed mediators included in the mediation analyses were: health behaviors (tobacco use, alcohol use, vegetable/fruit consumption, dietary habits, and medication adherence) and social support (emotional support and availability of a caretaker).
Organizational religiosity was significantly associated with depressive symptoms. However, subjective religiosity and subjective spirituality were not significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Health behaviors and social support did not mediate the relationship of organizational religiosity and depressive symptoms. Findings suggest that increased religious/church service attendance is associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Social support and health behaviors did not mediate the relationship between religious/church service attendance and depressive symptoms. Future research studies should explore other theory-guided constructs as possible mediators of religiosity and depressive symptoms. Additionally, contrasting findings between the relationship of depressive symptoms and subjective measures of religiosity versus organizational religiosity, suggests the continued use of multidimensional measures of religiosity within research. Future research should examine specific aspects of religious service attendance and in relation to depressive symptoms. Furthermore, 41% of participants who attended a religious/church service weekly or more reported depressive symptoms, thus based on their choice to regularly engage in religious activities, they are likely to be receptive to participating in faith-based approaches to address depressive symptoms. Therefore, for communities and individuals who are open to faith-based approaches, findings support the use of spiritually modified depression therapies at the individual level. Also, behavioral health prevention initiatives are recommended at the organizational level such as hosting depression screenings at faith-based health fairs. As the population of older adults continues to rise public health and behavioral health professionals should explore opportunities for collaboration with faith-based communities.

Cribeiro, Marisol. "The Efficacy of San Lazaro and His Manifestations: Divine Mediators of Health Within Miami's Cuban-American Santeria Community." FIU Digital Commons, 2014. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1641.
Full textAbstract:
This study explored the origins, evolution and influence of the tradition of San Lázaro as it currently pertains to the Cuban-American Santeria community in Miami. The main argument of the study is that in the context of the contemporary religious culture of Santeria in Miami, San Lázaro is a hybrid spirit. Many manifestations of healing entities have come to merge in the person of this spirit. Though practitioners identify with specific manifestations of this spirit, the processes of transmigration have blurred the lines of deep-rooted faiths and created a fusion of meanings from disparate traditions, making San Lázaro an ambivalent personality. San Lázaro’s ambivalence is the very quality that makes him such an important Orisha. As a deity whose personalities demonstrates the combination of a diversity of qualities, including those that contradict each other, San Lázaro is deployed in a very broad range of healing context, making him a versatile Orisha. This study clarified the contrasting qualities this deity embodies and traces the socio-historical context in which the deity acquires the layers of meanings it is currently associated with. Drawing on interviews with Lázaranian worshipers [Lázarenos] in Miami and engaging in Bourdieu’s concept of Habitus, the study provided a window into the nature of the tradition of San Lázaro and how its usage is linked with the African heritage of the worshipers.

Sophocleous, Christala. "Mediations and manipulations : everyday community partnership making in South Wales." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2014. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/64376/.
Full textAbstract:
This ethnographic research within the community of Hendinas in South Wales is set at the intersection of debates about governance and the place of ‘community’ within public policy. Taking the Welsh Governments’ Community First Programme as its starting point, it explores how community based practices that have ‘something to do’ (Law 2003) with partnership, come to constitute institutionalised ‘community-led partnerships’. Grounded in empirical ethnographic and interview data, the core research question of ‘how is partnership made in and through everyday lives?’ is addressed through the development and exploration of the ‘institutional life of a community’. Distinguishing between community as a place of affective ties and one in which action is directed at the collective projects of ‘making things better’. Drawing from over a year of fieldwork the thesis develops an empirically grounded critical interpretive policy analysis which engages directly with local people, staff and practices to explore how they use their agency and that ascribed to them by the Communities First policy as productive agents (NAfW 2001a; WAG2007a). Developed from the work of Foucault (1991a [1978]) much policy literature has highlighted the self-responsibilisation risks of government programmes. This research finds that while these risks exist, there is also a counter trend grounded in the broader ‘institutional life of communities’, in which critical self-responsibilisation also develops. The research explores the parameters of local understandings of ‘successful’ policy implementation by considering an instance of its ‘failure’ which brings into view two different models of partnership. The first, ‘partnership for action’ requires formal participation in a ‘partnership’ as a precondition of action, in contrast to ‘partnership as action’, in which partnership emerges from action between two or more agencies. Exploring policy implications and extrapolating from research findings, the thesis highlights tensions between the local advancement of communities which indicate that despite seeking to enhance social justice, the Communities First policy may perversely exasperate tensions and schisms between disadvantaged communities.

Tidigare forskning kring tolkarbetet visar att tolkyrket har utvecklats och spelar en viktig roll i samhället. Tolkarbetet anses vara en stressframkallande aktivitet. En tolk genomför en kommunikation mellan två partner som inte tillämpar samma språk. Kulturtolk förklarar informationen mer djupgående medan kontakttolken tolkar endast det som sägs utan vidare förklaring. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur kontakttolkar och kulturtolkar upplever sina arbeten. Fyra kvinnor och fyra män med olika modersmål som arbetade som tolk i Mellansverige intervjuades. Resultatet visade att tolkyrket upplevdes ganska trivsamt trots att det kunde innebära stress, svårigheter och känslomässiga situationer. Stress upplevdes i samband med tidsbrist. Känslomässiga situationer uppstod med förmedling av jobbiga besked. Trivsamhet upplevdes med arbetsmiljö. Individer som var analfabeter samt med skilda dialekter, försvårade tolkningen. Kontakttolkar upplevde vissa begränsningar i sina arbeten, medan kulturtolkar ansåg vara mer flexibla. Med tanke på den ständiga förändringen i omvärlden behövs en kontinuerlig utveckling av tolkarbetet.

Delk, Lauren Annabel. "Assessment of Criminal Thinking as a Predictor and Mediator of Behavior Problems in a Community Youth Sample." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/98398.
Full textAbstract:
Criminal behavior results in negative, costly consequences for both individuals and society at large. Therefore, researchers have worked to identify variables that predict recidivism, or recurrence of crime. The variables with the strongest predictive power include criminal thinking, personality traits, antisocial peers, and family difficulties, among others. In addition, policy makers and stakeholders are creating interventions which target criminal thinking, to reduce criminal thinking and hopefully reduce future crime.
However, little is known about measuring criminal thinking in community youth for the purposes of early intervention and prevention of future behavior problems. Therefore, this study examined a measure of criminal thinking in community youth to examine item-level and measure validity. It also sought to examine if criminal thinking acts as a mediator between other risk factors and subsequent behavior problems.
Although some items may need to be revised, results suggested generally good validity for the total score. This study also supports the stability of criminal thinking in community youth, and thus could be used as a measure of change. Finally, results suggest that criminal thinking mediates the relationships between antisocial friends and parenting styles in predicting reactive aggression.
The results of the item-level analysis of this study highlight the similarities between psychopathy and criminal thinking. Questions also arise about the relationship between criminal thinking in community youth and more transdiagnostic concepts, such as emotion regulation problems. Overall, criminal thinking appears to be a viable target for assessment and intervention in community youth.Doctor of Philosophy
Researchers seeking to reduce crime, because of its negative effects on society, have identified some features of a person and situations that are closely related to a person committing future crimes. Specifically, criminals tend to think in certain ways that promote crime, called criminal thinking styles. If those thinking styles are changed, then people may be less likely to commit future crimes. However, the field does not know if these criminal thinking styles are the same for youth in the community. Therefore, this study examined a measure of criminal thinking in community youth. Results show that the measure seems to work appropriately in community youth. Although not all items are the best for these youth, overall, the measure works well in predicting behavior problems, as expected. The measure also shows that criminal thinking in youth generally stays the same over time. Finally, this study shows that some features of youth which predict behavior problems are related to behavior problems because of the presence of criminal thinking. This study shows that a measure of criminal thinking, originally created for use in a justice-involved adult population, can also be used with community youth. It may then be used to assess youth who are on the verge of getting into trouble for criminal thinking styles. Interventions could use this measure to see if the criminal thinking styles are being reduced. Finally, because criminal thinking explains the relationship between other personal factors and behavior problems, interventions can focus on just criminal thinking, and not all the other factors, as a way to reduce future behavior problems.

Francisco, Jenifer. "Social Information Processing as a Mediator of Exposure to Community Violence and Reactive and Proactive Aggression." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/32422.
Full textAbstract:
The relationship between exposure to violence and aggression has been examined by many researchers. It has been reported that physically abused children and children from violent communities have more aggressive behavior than non-abused peers or peers from non-violent communities (Dodge et al., 1990; Dodge, 1993; Miller et al., 1999). In addition, it has been reported that children who are physically abused have social information processing deficits. However, the relationship between community violence exposure and aggression has yet to be fully explored. The present study proposed an underlying mechanism (i.e., social information processing deficits) that could be mediating the relationship between exposure to community violence and subsequent aggressive behavior. This study also looked at aggression more specifically and categorized the sample into reactive and proactive aggression.
Thirty-nine children, aged 7-13 years, from a mostly rural setting were recruited to participate in this study. Self-report measures of community violence exposure, social information processing deficits (i.e., hostile or instrumental biases), and aggression (i.e., reactive or proactive) were included while controlling for child abuse potential and conflict in the home.
The hypotheses of this study were not supported. Instead, the results supported a relationship between child abuse potential, social information processing biases, and aggression. Child abuse potential remained significant throughout the analyses, which suggests that it plays a larger role in the manifestation of aggressive behavior in children than does community violence exposure. Overall, the findings from this study are consistent with Dodge's work and has implications for treating children who are aggressive.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
1 Abstract Outcomes of previous research have been suggestive of a relationship between perfectionism and disordered eating, as well as a relationship between inhibited emotional expression and disordered eating. This internet-based study attempted to enhance our understanding of these relationships by exploring the role of perfectionism as a mediator in the relationship between negative attitudes towards emotional expression and disordered eating. As such the study was intended to examine a theory that individuals with disordered eating may believe it necessary to inhibit negative emotional expression due to their need to present as flawless. A large female community sample (N :=: 202) completed self-report measures assessing eating attitudes (EAT-26), perfectionism (APS-R) and beliefs regarding emotional expression (AEE). Both adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism were found to have mediating role in the relationship between a variety of beliefs about emotional expression and disordered eating. Maladaptive perfectionism was found to have a particularly strong mediating role, although the strength of the associations differed dependent upon the individual attitude regarding emotional expression. The findings are discussed in relation to treatment approaches focusing upon the dichotomous thinking and self-critical styles of individuals presenting with disordered eating, as well as those treatments that attempt to restructure cognitive appraisals of emotional expression. These clinical implications are considered in the context of the recognition of a need for longitudinal prospective research to illuminate causal influences in the development of disordered eating .

Violence is considered to be one of the most critical and threatening global problems plaguing the world today, leaving a trail of devastating consequences to societies, economies, cultures, families and individuals (Desjarlais &

Aggressive tendencies and violent behaviour become internalised and adopted as acceptable ways to resolve conflict situations. Chronic, continuous exposure to violence results in physical, psychological and emotional disturbances, such as depression, anxiety, lowered self-confidence, sleep disturbances, decreased attention and concentration spans. This study addressed the form of violence known as community violence, i.e. violence that children experience within their communities (either as witnesses or as victims). This study investigated the effects of this negative environmental experience and investigated potential mediating and moderating variables that could influence the harmful effects of such experiences.

Previous issue date: 2013-04-04In schools and various conflicts occur, in order to reduce them, the Department of Education of the State of Sao Paulo, through Resolution SE 19/2010, decided on the basis of Professor Mediator and Community School, which is part of School Protection Program, established by the Foundation for Development of Education. This study aims at investigating how Professor Mediator and Community School Board of Education-Region Assis-SP, is experiencing conflict situations in the school environment. The methodology used for the research was a qualitative approach with a case study. It was used for both semi structured interviews with four professors mediators belonging to the Board of Education and eight students from schools attended by these mediators. As tool for the analysis of the interviews we used the technique of the Collective Subject Speech. It was found that mediators receive support from the supervisory of the protection system of your school Teaching Board and not all receives the of school management. This will cause a feeling of devaluation and lack of motivation of their work. These educators believe that the schools are surrounded by many conflicts and that many of them have already come from the family relationship and complain of the lack of parental support. The most common types of conflicts that we found on a day-to-day are coping, sexuality touched on in the first grades of Basic Education and use of drugs in more advanced grades. To the students interviewed mentioned the conflict are the most common brawls. The results of the students testimonials evidence that the CEIP contributes to resolve conflicts in school because hears, orients, avoids aggressions and remakes friendships. Students report the importance of creating a culture of peace in schools and the CEIP and it helps a lot that the school improves his performance. The majority of students interviewees report that CEIP is more efficient to solve the problems in school, though other actors also agree that the school management also assist in this process. Finally, the professional has faced the most different situations in schools since students with pain, disregard for school rules, complaints by students against other students until situations in that need some advice. In this way, these professionals are constructing your identity for this new role. The research subsidizes the discussion about this function and contributes to the reflection of how the public policies are being implemented in practice.
Nas escolas ocorrem diversos conflitos, com vistas a diminuí-los, a Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo, por meio da resolução SE 19/2010, deliberou a função de Professor Mediador Escolar e Comunitário (PMEC), a qual faz parte do Programa de Proteção Escolar, instituído pela Fundação de Desenvolvimento da Educação (FDE). Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar como o Professor Mediador Escolar e Comunitário da Diretoria de Ensino-Região de Assis-SP, está vivenciando as situações de conflito no ambiente escolar. A metodologia utilizada para a pesquisa foi a abordagem qualitativa com estudo de caso. Utilizou-se para tanto, entrevista semiestruturada com quatro professores mediadores, pertencentes a esta Diretoria de Ensino e com oito alunos. Como ferramenta para a análise das entrevistas, empregou-se a técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Verificou-se que os mediadores recebem apoio da supervisão do Sistema de Proteção Escolar, entretanto e nem todos o recebe da gestão escolar. Estes educadores reclamam da falta de apoio dos pais, uma vez que acreditam que as escolas são rodeadas por muitos conflitos e que muitos destes conflitos são provenientes das relações familiares. Os tipos de conflitos mais comuns enfrentados por eles são: os de convivência, os relacionados à sexualidade aflorada nas séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental II e o uso de drogas nas séries mais avançadas. Para os alunos entrevistados o conflito mais comum foram as brigas. Os resultados dos depoimentos dos alunos evidenciam que o PMEC contribui para resolver os conflitos na escola, pois ouve, orienta, evita agressões e refaz as amizades. Os alunos relatam também, a importância em se criar uma cultura de paz nas escolas, e que o PMEC ajuda muito nisto. Enfim, o profissional tem enfrentado as mais variadas situações nas escolas, desde alunos com dor, desrespeito às regras escolares, até situações de violência. Desta forma, constatou-se que estes profissionais estão construindo sua identidade para essa nova função. A pesquisa subsidia a discussão sobre tal função e contribui para a reflexão de como as políticas públicas educacionais estão sendo implementadas.

This work called "reciprocity Webs: between Goiânia Arts Educators and Ribeirão community of Sand (MG)" presents a narrative about the experiences of educational practices and pedagogical mediations processes that occurred from daily life and rites of a rural community in the State of Minas Gerais. The theoretical north of this work is critical pedagogy and cultural pedagogy that punctuate the role of producers of knowledge that position themselves in processo of change sociocultural. The research is of documentary character since it was carried out through the analysis of interviews, image files (photographs and audiovisual) and through reflection on the pedagogical processes triggered by interaction with that community. The research considered the experiences in the course of training activities that promoted theoretical and practical discussions about Popular Culture and Art which culminated in the (re) invention of organized visual methods and mediated by Goiânia arts educators. The survey results point to the perception of the importance of collaborative processes in the formation of educators, adolescents and youth art education in non-formal space that elaborate socio-cultural and environmental projects in the community guided experiences. relational webs intrinsically change our educational practices.
O presente trabalho denominado “Teias de reciprocidade entre Educadores de Artes de Goiânia e a Comunidade de Ribeirão de Areia (MG)” apresenta uma narrativa sobre experiências de práticas educativas e de processos de mediações pedagógicas ocorridas a partir do cotidiano e dos ritos de uma comunidade rural em Minas Gerais. O norte teórico deste trabalho é a pedagogia crítica e a pedagogia cultural, que pontuam o papel dos produtores de saberes que se posicionam em processos de mudanças socioculturais. A pesquisa é de caráter documental uma vez que foi realizada por meio da análise de entrevistas, arquivos de imagens (fotografias e audiovisuais) e por meio da reflexão sobre os processos pedagógicos deflagrados pela convivência com a referida comunidade. A pesquisa considerou as experiências vividas no decorrer das atividades formativas que promoveram discussões teóricas e práticas sobre Cultura e Arte Popular que culminou na (re) invenção de métodos visuais organizados e mediados pelos educadores de artes de Goiânia. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para a percepção da importância dos processos colaborativos na formação de educadores, adolescentes e jovens do ensino de arte em espaço não formal que elaboram projetos socioculturais e ambientais pautados nas experiências de comunidade. Teias relacionais mudam intrinsecamente nossas práticas educativas.

Nota-se um crescimento constante da importância dos espaços de Educação Não Formal frente ao de Ensino de Ciências. Com isso, passa a ser imprescindível a presença de profissionais que promovam a interação da ciência com o público e, consequentemente, a formação dos mesmos para que possam atuar de maneira efetiva no desenvolvimento de atividades educativas nesses locais. Nesta perspectiva, este estudo de caso teve por finalidade analisar o processo de formação de mediadores de um espaço de Educação Não Formal de ciências, utilizando a perspectiva da teoria de Comunidades de Prática, elaborada por Jean Lave e Etienne Wenger. Mais especificamente, teve como objetivo analisar como o elemento engajamento mútuo, proposto pelos autores como um dos pontos fundamentais da participação dos membros de uma comunidade de prática, pode contribuir para a formação inicial de mediadores. Para realização dessa investigação, foi necessário, primeiramente, averiguar se o local de estudo escolhido - Estação Biologia (EB), projeto de extensão universitária vinculado ao Instituto de Biociências da Universidade de São Paulo, poderia ser considerado uma comunidade de prática, sendo necessária, para isso, a identificação de três elementos básicos: o repertório compartilhado, o engajamento mútuo e o empreendimento conjunto. Os dados coletados a partir de análises documentais, entrevistas gravadas semiestruturadas, filmagens e observações de visitas evidenciam que os três elementos básicos coexistem na EB, podendo, assim, ser considerada uma comunidade de prática. Nessa comunidade, às possibilidades de flexibilização de funções e o estabelecimento de negociações internas promovem o aumento do engajamento mútuo que está diretamente envolvido com a transformação de um mediador periférico em um mediador central, e consequentemente, com a sua formação tanto para atuar como mediador, quanto para atuar profissionalmente, seja na carreira de bacharelado ou de licenciatura. Isso pode ser afirmado visto que, ao aumentar o engajamento na prática da comunidade, esse mediador se apropria de conhecimentos que poderão ser usados dentro e fora da EB.There has been a steadily growing role of non-formal education within science teaching. Thus, the presence of professionals is crucial for promoting the interaction of science with the public. Consequently, the formation of these professionals is essential to enable them to act effectively in the development of activities at educational sites. Accordingly, this case study aims at examining the process of formation of mediators in the area of non-formal education in science, using the Theory of Community of Practice, coined by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger. More specifically, the analysis of the mutual engagement element, as proposed by the authors as one of the key points in the participation of members in a community of practice, may contribute to the initial training of mediators. To undertake this study, it was necessary to first determine whether the chosen place of study, Estação Biologia (EB) of the University of São Paulo, could be considered a community of practice. For this, the identification of three basic elements were required: shared repertoire, mutual engagement and joint enterprise. The data that were collected from documentary analysis, semi-structured registered interviews, recorded visits and personal observations, showed that all the three basic elements were present in EB, and thus it can be considered a community of practice. In this community, the flexibility of functions, and the establishment of internal negotiations, promote increased mutual engagement that is directly involved in the transformation of a peripheral into a central mediator, and consequently, their training both to act as a mediator and how to do so professionally. Considering that by increasing engagement in the practice of community, this mediator appropriates knowledge that can be used inside and outside the EB.

Due to the increase of violence in the school environment related to several situations that involve verbal, physical and symbolic aggressions carried out by basic education students, the Secretariat of Public Education of the State of Sao Paulo (SEESP), in partnership with the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP), has instituted the System of Public Protection in the State Educational System and the role of School and Community Mediator Teacher (PMEC), which aims to coordinate planning of actions destined to prevention, mediation and resolution of conflicts in the school environment. This investigative proposal has the goal of questioning the effectiveness of school mediation through analyses of the PMEC’s considered good practice in a public school that is connected to a Board of Education (DE) in the inner state of Sao Paulo. A case study was methodologically carried out and oriented by a qualitative research approach, in which techniques for data generation consist in analyses of normative resolutions, reports and evidences from the performed work, book of occurrences and semi-structured interviews. This thesis has shown many fragilities regarding the School Protection System, as these public policies interfere direct and indirectly in the effectiveness of the PMEC’s work in the Sao Paulo State schools. Through the obtained data, it was noticed that school mediation goes through a strong transition period, going from the Retributive Law, which has a more punitive nature, to the Restorative Law, based in restorative practices in conflict resolution. It was possible to perceive the effectiveness in the PMEC’s work through what is considered good practice; however, many things need to be reviewed so that a more pacific school environment can be implemented. This will only be possible with a collaborative work between the school agents, investments in formation, monitoring and assessment of projects. Finally, this research’s results aim to assist in subsidizing other PMECs’ work, broadening the debate on public policies and contributing with proposals that can come to improve the work performed by these professionals on behalf of constructing a peace culture inside and outside schools.
Devido ao aumento das violências, no ambiente escolar, em relação às diversas situações que envolvem agressões verbais, físicas e simbólicas protagonizadas por estudantes da educação básica, a Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo (SEESP), em parceria com a Secretaria de Segurança Pública (SSP), instituiu o Sistema de Proteção Escolar na Rede Estadual de Ensino e a função de Professor Mediador Escolar e Comunitário (PMEC), que visa a coordenar o planejamento de ações destinadas à prevenção, mediação e resolução de conflitos, no ambiente escolar. A presente proposta investigativa tem como objetivo problematizar a efetividade da mediação escolar a partir das análises das consideradas boas práticas do PMEC, em uma escola pública pertencente a uma Diretoria de Ensino (DE) do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Metodologicamente, efetuamos um estudo de caso orientado pela abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, cujas técnicas para a geração de dados consistiram em análises das resoluções normativas, relatórios/evidências dos trabalhos realizados, livros de ocorrências, entrevistas semiestruturadas. Essa dissertação demonstrou muitas fragilidades, no que se refere ao Sistema de Proteção Escolar, pois essas políticas públicas interferem direta e indiretamente na efetivação do trabalho do PMEC, nas escolas paulistas. Pelos dados obtidos, percebemos que a mediação escolar passa por um forte momento de transição, da Justiça Retributiva de cunho mais punitivo para a Justiça Restaurativa, que tem suas bases nas práticas restaurativas de resolução de conflitos. Pôde-se observar a efetividade do trabalho do PMEC, através das consideradas boas práticas, no entanto, muitas coisas necessitam ser revistas, para a implantação de um ambiente escolar mais pacífico, o que só será possível por meio de um trabalho coletivo entre os agentes escolares, investimentos em formação, acompanhamento e avaliação do projeto. Enfim, espera-se que os resultados desta pesquisa sirvam para subsidiar o trabalho de outros PMECs, ampliando o debate sobre políticas públicas, contribuindo com propostas que venham a aprimorar o trabalho realizado por esses profissionais, em prol da construção de uma cultura de paz, dentro e fora das escolas.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-26The role of teacher-mediator has been instituted in the state of São Paulo by the Resolution 19 of the State Education Department in 2010, which has established the School Protection System, which has as its goal to coordinate the planning and execution of measures that support conflict prevention, mediation, and resolution within the school environment. This work has aimed to study the strategies of intervention of the teacher-mediator of the school and community in order to support the school permanence of the teenagers who have committed an infringement, from the perspective of the youth in social vulnerability and of the school as an environment which its access and permanence, with quality, should be a right for all. In order to do so, there has been conducted a profiling of the teacher mediators enrolled to the Education Board of the Municipality of São Carlos SP, through the use of a questionnaire designed for this purpose. Then, with the intent of understanding the strategies and actions of these teachers for supporting the permanence of those teenagers in the school network, there have been conducted in-depth interviews with seven teachers who alleged having had previous working experiences with this kind of adolescent. It has been verified that the main action plan has been summed up to fighting school dropout, which is a specific intervention focus of the teacher-mediators registered in the Education Board of São Carlos. Also, it was learnt that there is little knowledge and articulation with the city s network for children and adolescent care. Such fact has prevented broadening the work of establishing partnerships beyond those focused in health services, mainly represented by the Psychosocial Care Center focused in alcohol and other drugs abuse (CAPS ad), the social protection services, the public safety and the Guardianship Council. In regard of the adolescents in focus, it has been verified that constructive dialogues are the main tool for intervention, along with the teachers effort to make awareness about keeping distance from infringement practices. The weakness of the intervention practices for these teenagers is evidence of the need of deepening the discussions and perspectives for facing this issue, regardless of teenagers who have committed an infringement or who are under socio educative probation being enrolled in the schools that these teachers work at. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a behavior for the teacher- mediators to act in the opposite direction of what has been established by the schools: the adolescent who has committed an infringement as a source of conflict, who must be avoided.
A função de professor mediador foi instituída no estado de São Paulo, pela Resolução № 19, da Secretaria de Estado da Educação, no ano de 2010, com a implantação do Sistema de Proteção Escolar, que tem como objetivo coordenar o planejamento de execução de medidas de prevenção, mediação e resolução de conflitos no ambiente escolar. Este trabalho teve como propósito conhecer as estratégias de ação do professor mediador escolar e comunitário para a permanência na rede de ensino do adolescente que cometeu ato infracional, sob a ótica da juventude em situação de vulnerabilidade social e da escola como lócus cujo acesso e permanência, com qualidade, devem ser um direito de todos. Para tanto, foi realizada uma caracterização dos professores mediadores pertencentes à Diretoria de Ensino - Região de São Carlos SP, com a aplicação de um questionário elaborado para este fim. Posteriormente, com o objetivo de conhecer as estratégias e ações desse professor para a permanência do adolescente em questão na rede de ensino, foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com sete professores que relataram terem tido experiência com esse adolescente em sua prática. Foi verificado que a principal proposta de ação resumiu-se ao combate da evasão escolar, foco de intervenção específico dos professores mediadores da Diretoria de Ensino Região de São Carlos, além de pouco conhecimento e articulação com a rede de atenção à criança e adolescente no município, o que impediu maior amplitude do trabalho, no sentido do estabelecimento de parcerias além daquelas voltadas aos serviços de saúde, representado, sobretudo pelo CAPS ad Centro de Atenção Psicossocial voltado para o cuidado com relação ao uso de álcool e outras drogas, aos serviços de proteção social, à segurança pública e ao Conselho Tutelar. Com relação ao adolescente em tela, verificou-se o diálogo como o principal instrumento de intervenção e a implicação do professor em buscar conscientizá-lo quanto à necessidade de manter-se afastado de práticas infracionais. A fragilidade das práticas de trabalho com esse adolescente evidencia a necessidade de aprofundamento das discussões e posicionamentos diante do tema, independentemente de haver na escola em que o professor atua um adolescente que tenha cometido ato infracional ou que esteja em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa. Diante disso, é necessário pensar uma atuação dos professores mediadores na contra-mão daquilo que a própria escola estabelece: o adolescente que cometeu ato infracional como um causador de conflito, o qual deve ser evitado.

At the end of 2009, the State Department of Education in partnership with the Department of Public Safety, launched the Project Protection School and Community System (SPEC). To implement the project in state schools was created the function of Teacher School and Community Mediator (PMEC). In this work, we investigated the understanding of this new professional about their duties and how they unfold in school practices, with the hypothesis that before a non-specific training, for appropriate profile selection of difficulty and of course insufficient training, PMEC runs projects and activities not related to their function and that the actual duties that should play at schools not you are clear, then, each performs them according to their own reading and thus can not be given to introducing legislation or have a critical view of their role. To reach the end, there was a qualitative research descriptive, using the questionnaire as a collection tool and content analysis for data processing. The sample included randomly in the electronic questionnaire sent to the use PMECs activity at the time of the survey. Obtained return 485 PMECs, a universe of 3.210, constituting a representative sample of grade of more than 95% reliability. The answers reveal a lack of more specific training and understanding, about the concepts and processes intrinsic to its function, contrary to the authors consulted. They also reveal that, in the opinion of these professionals, they are responsible for performing any tasks given to them in order to promote the smooth running of the school, easing the weight of the tasks of the managers of school units; however, to encompass such assignments, PMECs end up getting lost in their function. The fact is that once again we see the launch of a project designed for those who do not know the daily life of schools and professionals who work in them and thus this professional is carrying out the possible actions in trying to make the project work.
No final do ano de 2009, a Secretaria de Estado da Educação, em parceria com a Secretaria de Segurança Pública, lançou o projeto Sistema de Proteção Escolar e Comunitária (SPEC). Para a implementação do projeto nas escolas estaduais foi criada a função de Professor Mediador Escolar e Comunitário (PMEC). Neste trabalho, investigou-se o entendimento desse novo profissional sobre suas atribuições e como elas se desdobram em práticas escolares, com a hipótese de que diante de uma formação não específica, dificuldade de seleção por perfil adequado e curso de formação insuficiente, o PMEC executa projetos e atividades não relacionadas à sua função e que as reais atribuições que deveria desempenhar nas unidades escolares não lhe são claras, logo, cada um as realiza segundo sua própria leitura e, assim, pode não estar atendendo ao que estabelece a legislação nem ter uma visão crítica acerca de sua função. Para atingir os fins propostos, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo descritiva, utilizando-se o questionário como instrumento de coleta e a análise de conteúdo para tratamento dos dados. A amostra foi composta aleatoriamente, no uso de questionário eletrônico encaminhado aos PMECs em atividade na ocasião da pesquisa. Obteve-se retorno de 485 PMECs, de um universo de 3.210, constituindo-se uma amostra representativa, com grau de confiabilidade de mais de 95%. As respostas revelam falta de formação mais específica e entendimento, acerca dos conceitos e processos intrínsecos à sua função, em desacordo com os autores consultados. Revelam também que, no entendimento desses profissionais, eles são responsáveis por realizar quaisquer atribuições que lhes é conferida a fim de promover o bom andamento da escola, amenizando o peso das tarefas dos gestores das unidades escolares; no entanto, ao abarcar tais atribuições, os PMECs acabam ficando perdidos em sua função. Fato é que mais uma vez observamos o lançamento de um projeto pensado por quem não conhece o dia a dia das escolas e dos profissionais que nelas trabalham e, assim, esse profissional vai realizando as ações possíveis na tentativa de fazer o projeto dar certo.

The present study approaches the implementation of the paradigm of restorative justice in the extent of the schools public inhabitants from São Paulo of the Management of Teaching of the area of São José dos Campos and he/she has as reference the Teacher's School and Community Mediator perspective. The objective consists of to investigate and to contemplate concerning the character of public politics of that movement, the way as PMEC understands that process starting from the own professional performance and in the way as it evaluates the receptivity of the school community to a model of confrontation of conflicts based on the dialogue and in the co-responsability in opposition to methods and punitive beginnings, traditionally employees in the school units. The research based on qualitative methodology by interviews half structured in categories a priori, by which the great level of personal adhesion was verified and of involvement of PMEC with the implementation of the paradigm of restorative justice and the distrust and the uncertainties with respect to the continuity of that public politics on the part of the state government and of the school community's support as a whole. At the end, it was reached the conclusion that, in fact, it governs the discontinuity movement and whithout characterization of that public politics. In compensation, that new model wins adhesion and solidity in the school context because of the performance and of PMEC and of her coherence with the autonomy beginnings and inherent citizenship.
O presente estudo aborda a implementação do paradigma de justiça restaurativa no âmbito das escolas públicas paulistas da Diretoria de Ensino da região de São José dos Campos e tem como referência a perspectiva do Professor Mediador Escolar e Comunitário (PMEC). O objetivo consiste em investigar e refletir acerca do caráter de política pública desse movimento, o modo como o PMEC compreende esse processo a partir da própria atuação profissional e do modo como avalia a receptividade da comunidade escolar a um modelo de enfrentamento de conflitos baseado no diálogo e na corresponsabilidade em oposição a métodos e princípios punitivos, tradicionalmente empregados nas unidades escolares. A pesquisa segue a metodologia qualitativa com base em entrevistas semiestruturadas em categorias a priori, mediante a qual constatou-se o grande nível de adesão pessoal e de envolvimento do PMEC com a implementação do paradigma de justiça restaurativa e a desconfiança e as incertezas no que tange à continuidade dessa política pública por parte do governo estadual e do apoio da comunidade escolar como um todo. Ao final, chegou-se à conclusão de que, de fato, impera o movimento de descontinuidade e descaracterização dessa política pública. Em contrapartida, esse novo modelo ganha adesão e solidez no contexto escolar em virtude da atuação e do PMEC e de sua coerência com os princípios de autonomia e cidadania.

Diante de pesquisas que apontam os crescentes índices de violência, indisciplina e conflitos no ambiente escolar, o Governo do Estado de São Paulo criou o programa intitulado “Sistema de Proteção Escolar”, com o objetivo de combater a indisciplina e a violência no interior das escolas e garantir a integridade física e patrimonial dos alunos, funcionários e servidores da rede estadual paulista. No conjunto de medidas pensadas no âmbito do referido programa, a Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo – SEE/SP criou uma nova função para o professor da educação básica, qual seja, a de Professor Mediador Escolar e Comunitário, doravante denominado PMEC. Com essa pesquisa, interessou-nos investigar o contexto de surgimento deste “novo profissional” no âmbito da rede estadual paulista, desde a concepção acerca desta nova função, apresentada pela Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (SEE/SP), bem como as questões relativas ao processo de seleção e de atuação nas unidades escolares. Para tanto, foi realizada análise documental (textos legais, normativos, planos de trabalho do PMEC e livros de ocorrências na unidade escolar), observação do trabalho realizado pelo PMEC em uma escola estadual, durante um semestre e entrevistas semiestruturadas com as PMEC da escola selecionada e com PMEC que atuam em escolas localizadas em regiões com índices de vulnerabilidades parecidos ao da escola selecionada. Ao final da investigação comprovamos nossa hipótese de que essa nova função seja mais uma forma de reconfiguração do trabalho docente, dentre as já existentes, que altera profundamente o papel do professor no âmbito escolar e descaracteriza a profissão. Para subsidiar a nossa análise recorremos a autores que discutem temáticas como controle, intolerância, indisciplina e conflitos (ABRAMOVAY, 2005; CHARLOT, 2002; 2005; DUBET, 2004; FOUCAULT, 1996, 1997; JARES, 1997), trabalho e profissão docente (TARDIF, 2002; TARDIF, LESSARD e LAHAYE, 1991; TENTI FANFANI, 2000), bem como de pesquisadores que vêm se dedicando às temáticas apresentadas pelo programa “Sistema de Proteção Escolar”, a partir de diferentes perspectivas teóricas.
On research that link rising levels of violence, indiscipline and conflicts in the school environment, the State Government of São Paulo created the program entitled "School System Protection" in order to combat indiscipline and violence within schools and guarantee the physical integrity and property of students, staff and servants of the state public network. In the set of measures designed under the said program, the Department of São Paulo State Education - SEE / SP created a new role for the teacher of basic education, namely, Professor of School Mediator and Community, hereinafter called the PMEC. With this research, we became interested in investigating the appearance of the context of this "new professional" under the state public network, since the conception of this new role, presented by the São Paulo State Education (SEE / SP) and matters relating to the selection process and performance in school units. For this purpose, document analysis was carried out (legal, regulatory texts, work plans of the PMEC and occurrences of books at schools), work observation conducted by PMEC in a state school for a semester and semi-structured interviews with PMEC the selected school and PMEC working in schools located in regions with similar levels of vulnerability to the selected school. At the end of the investigation we proved our hypothesis that this new function is another way of reconfiguration of the teaching profession, among the existing ones, which profoundly changes the teacher's role in schools and mischaracterizes the profession. To support our analysis we turn to authors who discuss issues such as control, intolerance, indiscipline and conflicts (ABRAMOVAY, 2005; CHARLOT, 2002; 2005; DUBET, 2004; FOUCAULT, 1996, 1997; JARES, 1997), work and teaching profession (TARDIF, 2002; TARDIF, LESSARD e LAHAYE, 1991; TENTI FANFANI, 2000), as well as researchers who have dedicated themselves to the themes presented by the "School System Protection" program from different theoretical perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse vise à appréhender le terroir comme un territoire de communication sensible dont l’absence de traduction est déjà problématique. C’est à la fois un terme qui s’impose à tous, dans le monde entier, et un lieu mal défini du discours. La notion reste fuyante, au-delà du droit, de l’histoire et de l’agronomie. Elle séduit le « mangeur social » porté à satisfaire ses désirs d’authenticité et de goût. A cet égard, la profusion des discours médiatiques en déploie l’imaginaire, entre patrimoine alimentaire et, plus profondément, l’identité symbolique du mangeur. Des tensions se créent entre les discours qui l’érigent en modèle et idéalisent son image. Un retour sur l’histoire et les règles du terroir confronte ce périmètre notionnel à la réalité quotidienne et met en relief sa polysémie, sa polymorphie. Des écarts sémantiques existent entre les critères figés par les normes et les pratiques du mangeur envers« des nourritures nostalgiques ». L’étude du terroir comme construit social suppose un déplacement paradigmatique, depuis les croyances et les labels, jusqu’aux médiations du terroir dans des dispositifs variés. Ces derniers créent du sens autour de savoir-faire et de valeurs. L’objectif est de montrer que des significations contradictoires coexistent et animent les médiations sensibles du terroir dans un espace figuratif complexe (sensations, objets, espaces, discours, etc.). Nous mettons enfin à l’épreuve notre concept et notre image du terroir dans deux lieux possibles à concevoir comme espaces publics symboliques : une association de consommateurs et un forum de discussionThe aim of this thesis is to understand terroir as a tangible communication territory, starting with the lack of conceptual translation in foreign language. Terroir comes to rest in a social space characterized by fleeing models, above and beyond Law, History and Agronomy. Food and eating become the space of contradictory signs for the “social eater” attuned to hedonism and control. The object seduces him to satisfy his desires for authenticity and taste. Discourses and scenes show terroir in an imaginary world, made up of food patrimony and symbolic identity. But it arouses tensions because economic actors take it hold of it. A review of the history and rules about terroir’s provokes its confrontation with everyday reality and reveals its polysemy. Certain differences of meaning exist between criteria established by norms and the eater’s practices toward “nostalgic food”. The study of terroir as a social construct proceed through paradigmatic displacement, from beliefs and labels, to terroir’s mediations in devices. They create meaning around know -how and certain values. The aims, here is to demonstrate that multiple significations coexist and to study how the mediations of terroir’s logic of the senses in figurative spaces are created. We then tested it in two spaces similar to symbolical public spaces: consumers‘s association and internet forum

Full textAbstract:
Mediation, as defined in this study, is a dispute resolution process for dealing with disagreements between community members and differs from other forms of conflict resolution such as arbitration, conciliation and adjudication. Mediation is a relatively new field of professional endeavour, consequently, community mediators are few and no current accredited course exists in the vocational education and training sector.
This study aimed to develop a curriculum for training community mediators which individuals of various professions could undertake through the vocational education and training sector in order to become accredited mediators.
An initial review of the literature identified existing mediator competencies. Following this review, the first phase of the study was to survey practising community mediators to obtain their views on which additional competencies mediators should possess.
In the second phase of the study, various curriculum models were reviewed and one model selected which fitted the contextual constraints of the vocational education and training sector. The Competency Based Training model for curriculum development was selected to develop a curriculum which incorporated the list of competencies elucidated in the first phase of the study.
A curriculum suitable for teaching community mediation skills to trainee mediators through a course offered through the vocational education and training sector is presented in the fifth chapter.
This study is significant in that it attempts to objectify what it is that mediators do by way of establishing a collection of mediator competencies pertinent to community mediation. The challenge was to undertake this task in an environment in which mediation as a skill, was considered malleable; a skill which requires fine adjustment to fit the various contexts in which mediation is practised.
Finally, this study also highlighted the need for further research into mediation. Issues such as 'hard' versus 'sot mediation and the development of specific competencies related to the practice of mediation within specific contexts, for example, divorce mediation and land right mediation, are discussed.

The importance of brand issues has been developed for years in Taiwan and discussed widely in the academia. The brand issues are important because its additional values bring lots of profits to the business. One of the additional values is to hold the customers, their loyalties and raise the brand interest. Due to those positive benefits, enterprises try their best to do the research on this field. Recently, the concept of the community is developing and becoming a new communication style, whether it’s the online community (i.e. MSN or Yahoo messenger) or the physical community. Moreover, the consumers establish the brand community according to their preferences of the products. Through this connection, members of the communities can exchange information and bound with each other in turns of making the brand identification. This research is based on the study made by McAlexander, Schouten & Koenig (2002); it proposes the concept of the community integration and analyzes the integration with the relationship of quality, the relationship of value and brand equity. The interview samples are the car owners who join the club and who do not. The purpose of the survey is to analysis if there are obvious differences between the club members and nonmembers in the respect of brand benefits. In addition, on the club members division, the study wants to analyze if there are any interference between the integration of the brand communities and brand benefits by using the relationship of quality and the relationship of value as mediators. Furthermore, this research intends to analyze if the relationship quality has an effect on the relationship value between the members and nonmembers. The research uses the independent sample tests to analyze if the integration of the brand communities plays an important role on car brand benefits. The research also uses linear regression to analyze the relationships between the brand community components (product, brand, enterprise and other owners,) the relationship quality and the relationship value; and exam the result to see if the relationship quality and the relationship value are mediators. The conclusion is that the club members obviously have more effect on brand equity than the nonmembers. The integration of brand community components：product, brand, company and other owners have positive effect on the relationship quality and the relationship value and mostly on the relationship quality. Besides, relationship quality can influence relationship value. This is the evidence that there are connections among the integration brand community, the relationship quality and the relationship value.

The focus of this study was to develop an individualized community-based caregiver training program and test its effect for decreasing the behavioral problems of the elders with dementia and improve the caregivers’ competence, preparedness, and quality of life. At the same time this study explored the mediators and moderators for the outcome variables of the proposed program. A single-blind randomized controlled trial using a longitudinal prospective research design was used. After random assignment, the experimental group received an individualized community-based caregiver training program as well as telephone consultations, while the control group received only written educational materials and social telephone follow-ups. Patients with dementia and their caregivers (N = 129) were divided into the experimental group (N= 63) and the control group (N = 66 ). Data were collected at 1, 3, and 6 months after the pretest, and hierarchical linear models and hierarchical generalized linear models were applied for outcome variables. Family caregivers who received an individualized community -based training program had better outcomes in competence (β=9.82, p <.001), preparedness(β=3.34, p < .01), bodily pain (β=11.81, p < .01), general health perception (β=8.98, p < .05), role disability due to emotional problems (β=12.26, p < .05), social function (β=10.07, p < .01), vitality (β=11.66, p < .001), mental component summary (β=4.91, p < .01), and they also had a reduced risk for physical aggressive behavior by the dementia patient (OR =0.64,β= -0.45, p < .05), but on the other hand faced an increased risk of verbally aggressive behavior by the dementia patient (OR =1.62,β= 0.48, p < .05) than those in the control group during the 6 months following the training program. The direct effective results of this program included a reduction in bodily pain and an increased mental component summary during the follow-up period. Competence was the only mediator variable between intervention and social function, while preparedness was a partial mediator between intervention and general health perception and vitality. Disease severity was the moderator variable between intervention and verbally non-aggressive behaviors and verbally aggressive behaviors. At the same time, dementia patients in the early stage in the experimental group were less likely to present verbally non-aggressive and verbally aggressive behavior while the patients in the severe stage of dementia were more likely to present verbally non-aggressive behavior and in the moderate stage of dementia were more likely to present verbally aggressive behavior than those in the control group. Our proposed an individualized community-based caregiver training program was helpful to improve the caregiver’s competence, preparedness, health-related quality of life, bodily pain, general health perception, role limitations due to emotional problems, social functioning, vitality, mental component summary, and decreased risk from physical aggressive behavior of their relatives. The direct effect of this program included reduction in bodily pain and an improved mental component summary. The indirect effect included improved social functioning once the caregiver’s competence was improved, as well as an improved general health perception and vitality after the caregiver’s preparedness was improved. Disease severity was a moderator between intervention and verbally non-aggressive behavior and verbally aggressive behavior of dementia patients.

It has provided kinds of community activities for adults and courses for children, and achieved success to attract many families, Mothers from local community in particular, and reconnected these participants. This essay proposes an emotion-centered perspective to analyze social identity, role, and emotion in micro-level interactions. At conscious level, participants’ social identities as Students, Mothers, and PAHD have been expected as with certain figures or impressions with morality, which is helpful to build intimate relations at emotional level. However, the practical roles and motivations in various situations of reservation movement have shown another salient approaches to form up relations between participants. Considerable tensions existed between expectation and practice worked upon the display of emotion. Most important, emotion played not only a kind of expression, it also dominated how participants feel and/or realize reservation movement, and the meaning of the publicness.

In recently years, the speedy expansion of community websites results in a large number of users in virtual communities (VCs). Based on this, many corporations conduct their own VCs to contact customer exactly and efficiently. This study focus on customer citizenship behavior in corporate VCs combining with relationship marketing, social identify theory and spillover effect. Through the literatures review, financial bond, social bond and structural bond which are community relational bonds and customer-company identification are the antecedent factors, and affect customer citizenship behavior indirectly through community relationship quality and community identification. In this study, two different types of corporate VCs, search attribute goods (7-ELEVEN) and experience attribute goods (Starbucks) were compared. 318 and 316 effective samples of customers form 7-ELEVEN and Starbucks virtual community, respectively, were obtained from convenience sampling. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to test the research hypotheses. The following are the findings: 1.Financial bond and social bond both positively affect community relationship quality in two virtual communities, but the effect of structural bond to community relationship quality is only significant in Starbucks virtual community. 2.Among four antecedent factors, which have the biggest effect to relationship quality are financial bond in 7-ELEVEN virtual community, and customer-company identification in Starbucks virtual community. 3.Customer-company identification positively affects community relationship quality and community identification. Moreover, the effect of community relationship quality to community identification is stronger than customer-company identification to community identification. 4.In Starbucks virtual community, community relationship quality can direct or indirect affect customer citizenship behavior through community identification. But relationship quality only can affect customer citizenship behavior indirectly through community identification in 7-ELEVEN virtual community. That is, community identification is the important mediator between relationship quality and customer citizenship behavior

Due to the fast- changing environment and economic influences and ever-evolving consumer spending habits, traditional marketing methods and retail promotional schemes do not satisfy consumer demands. Also, with mass factory production that results in product surplus, customer-oriented business governance must be implemented to capture customer’s emotional want and provide experiential excellence. Most importantly, creating an exclusive brand community participation that leads to brand community identity and brand loyalty are keys. This research discussion, based on Taiwan’s Apple authorized dealer, is on brand community participation as the mediating variable, in which experiential marketing will have positive effects on brand community identity and brand loyalty. With the application of experiential marketing in Apple stores, we put this method to the test and find out whether experiential marketing proves effective in this industry. This research is based on Schmitt’s strategic Experiential Models, SEMS in 1999, and Taipei’s Apple authorized dealers were the primary subjects. Questionnaires were presented and gathered as research analysis.

Nowadays, living in this era of internet development, information can be exchanged and caught through different ways, the convenient feature of network without time and geographical restrictions attracting the public to gather information through the Internet. Along with the spread of community marketing, the members of community discuss and share the related information about the brand which they all like. Besides, the difference between products is getting smaller, products cannot win in the market if only relying on the product superiority. The brand has become a key to the survival and continuous growth of the company. Therefore, in the era of consumer-oriented product market, in order to increase consumer’s willingness to purchase the product, the brand will tend to enhance the participation of costumer in fan page. As long as the development of “the experience economy” and the change of consumption patterns, the meaning of consumption has evolved from satisfying basic needs to the experience of consumers pursuing self-identification and life values. They establish their identity with the brand community to provide a good experience process in order to satisfy the consumers' mental needs, thereby increasing purchase behavior. From this point of view, the establishment of a brand community has become an integral part of the pursuit of market competitiveness and influence. In order to understand the impact of brand community engagement and experienced marketing on purchase intention, this study focuses on brand community identification as an intermediary variable factor. Furthermore, this research also takes "product involvement" as a moderator into consideration and expects to further understand the purchasing behavior of consumer. In this study, the brands of pet products, which were less emphasized in the past brand community studies, were selected as the empirical targets. Since the proportion of singles and unmarried people has increased year by year in recent years, the situation of domestic declining birth rate is serious, more and more people are not willing to have children and tend to keep a pet as substitute. As pets change their roles in human’s live, pets' economy becomes a new market opportunity. In this study, questionnaire was used to collect data, and finally 357 valid sample are adopted. Using PLS for data analysis, After statistical analysis and prove, we can find some conclusion： 1.There is a positive relationship between brand community engagement and community identification. 2.There is a positive relationship between brand community identification and purchase intention. 3.There is a positive relationship between experienced marketing, community identification and purchasing intention. 4.Product involvement has moderator effect of experienced marketing and purchase intention.

Full textAbstract:
Text in GermanThis thesis takes as a starting point the societal change in Germany with its concomitant economic risks for substantial parts of the population. Evangelical churches in Germany have yet to react to this change. While the relationship between social work and mission has been a point of widespread discussion within the evangelical movement internationally, it fails to have any impact on local churches. The question is thus: how can a mission-oriented church benefit from Christian social reform movements? Transformative as well as holistic understandings of mission have already yielded an enlarged vision of mission as encompassing social justice. But how about a missiological paradigm which is practically translatable into cultural and social relevance as far as the local church’s vision for becoming an agent of societal change/reform is concerned? When interpreted missiologically, mediation can be such a useful paradigm, as its essence is conflict as a constant anthropological signifier of human/divine distance on the one side and God’s purpose of redemption as reflected in the church’s mission on the other. Thus mediation could be called a category of the missio dei. This practical implementation into the church’s work as being relevant for its community is reached by reverting to the sciences of social work, namely the concept of community development. As mediative community work, this approach will add to the profile of a mission-oriented church as determined to serve a holistic vision of the gospel. At the focus is thus the immediate social environment of a local church, in which it can trigger spiritual, personal, social, cultural and economic processes of transformation. In the social context of Germany this way of expressing the missiological drive of a local church seems to be a hopeful avenue, since the social and economic risks are likely to remain and are threatening a large percentage of the population with social marginalisation. It is here that the economy of community work will be furnishing useful aspects to help a mission-oriented church develop its mediative-communal thrust into its immediate social context in order to proclaim God’s redemptive purpose.
Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Beobachtung des gesellschaftlichen Wandels in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland samt seiner sozialen und ökonomischen Risiken für weite Teile der Bevölkerung. Eine Antwort auf diesen Transformationsprozess ist seitens der evangelikalen Kirchen in Deutschland ausgeblieben. Die Frage nach der Verhältnisbestimmung zwischen sozialer Arbeit und Mission ist in der evangelikalen Bewegung zwar international breit diskutiert worden, doch hat sie kaum Wirkung auf die Praxis der örtlichen Gemeinden in Deutschland gezeigt. Bearbeitet wird daher die Fragestellung, wie eine missionarisch orientierte Gemeinde in ihrem Sendungsauftrag Initiativen christlicher Sozialreformen umsetzen kann. Transformative und ganzheitliche Missionskonzepte haben bereits ein erweitertes Missionsverständnis hervorgebracht, welches die soziale Gerechtigkeit als missionarischen Auftrag mit einschließt. Die Frage stellt sich nun nach einem missionstheologischen Paradigma, welches praktisch in eine kultur- und gesellschaftsrelevante Tätigkeit einer missionalen Gemeinde umgesetzt werden kann, durch die sie zu einem Träger einer christlich geprägten Sozialreform wird. Das Paradigma, das hierfür erarbeitet und missionstheologisch gedeutet wird, ist das der Mediation. Sie offenbart in ihrem Wesen zum einen den Konflikt als anthropologische Konstante und somit die Distanz zu Gott und zum anderen die Heilsabsicht Gottes, die sich im Missionsauftrag an die Gemeinde widerspiegelt. So stellt sich die Mediation als Kategorie der missio dei dar. Die konkrete Umsetzung dieses Paradigmas in eine die Gesellschaft gestaltende Arbeit gelingt durch die Hinzuziehung des Arbeitsprinzips der Gemeinwesenarbeit aus der Sozialarbeitswissenschaft. In Form einer mediativ-gemeinwesenorientierten Arbeit gibt sie einer missional ausgerichteten Gemeinde die Möglichkeit ihren Sendungsauftrag mit einem umfassenden Heilsverständnis umzusetzen. Dabei steht der unmittelbare Sozialraum der lokalen Kirchengemeinde im Fokus des Interesses, in dem geistliche, persönliche, soziale kulturelle und ökonomische transformative Prozesse eingeleitet werden können. Bezugnehmend auf den Kontext der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erweist sich diese Art den Sendungsauftrag umzusetzen als hoffnungsträchtig, da die sozialen und ökonomischen Risiken in Zukunft weiter bestehen werden und ein nicht unerheblicher Teil der Bevölkerung bereits als sozial ausgegrenzt ist. Hier gibt insbesondere die Gemeinwesenökonomie Anhaltspunkte, wie eine mediativ-gemeinwesenorientierte missionale Gemeinde in ihrem Sozialraum den Heilswillen Gottes verkündigen kann.

For a brand-oriented company, sponsoring a brand community is undoubtedly the most effective marketing method. What prove to be even more effective, however, are the voluntary brand communities that require no company resources. In these voluntary brand communities, members advertise products through word-of-mouth and spread the history and culture of the brand through actively sharing knowledge. All these, in fact, contribute to customer satisfaction and customer loyalty of a brand, which in terms accelerates sales and builds company reputation (McAlexande, Schouten, Koening, 2002). Brand communities, especially the voluntary kind, have always been popular outside of Taiwan, and the famous ones include the communities for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Apple computers, and Volkswagen automobiles, of which the community for Harley-Davidson motorcycles is typical in that the community members is one of the key reason to its survival. Ms. Chou Wen-ching, a research specialist from the Market Intelligence Center (MIC) of the Institute for Information Industry (III), states that online shopping in Taiwan is heading to an “Era of Collective Intelligence Shopping,” in which interaction through the Web is the trend, and comments and recommendations from fellow online shoppers serve as the key to a purchase decision. In other words, the collective experience of a community guides the purchase decision. Based on the Brand Community Relationship theory by Muniz and O’Guinn (2001) and McAlexander, Schouten, and Koening (2002), this paper, as a result, explores how Brand Community Relationship influences purchase intention and brand loyalty, drawing examples from an online voluntary brand community for Shisedo, and then integrates the findings with theory of identity of community and of perceived risk.

Thesis (M.Arch. (Professional))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, 2016.Indigenous medicine has existed in society for centuries. It is one of the few age old practices that has remained an innate part of our sociocultural environment. African indigenous healing is an important component of African culture and is significant in ensuring both well-being and health of the people. The World Health Organization statistics shows that at least 70% -80% of the population have used indigenous medicine in South Africa. Indigenous medicine often carries stigmas and negative perceptions. Countless misconceptions and misunderstandings are experienced by indigenous medicine and indigenous medicinal practitioners that have contributed to their isolation. The intention of this thesis is to explore the coexistence of different medical and health systems through a place of dialogue and education. The study focuses on creating an interface between conventional and local indigenous health systems. Through spaces of collaboration, well-being and knowledge, a connection can be established between the two systems which could essentially promote an interaction and understanding. Through an exploration of the primary theme of “the self and the other” and a secondary theme of holistic well-being. An intricate theoretical framework can be established within the thesis that contributes to both the design development and practicality of the proposal. By further studying literature that pertains to the themes and by interviewing people within both fields will allow for the profound understanding of both forms of medicine. The role of architecture as a social instigator for the de-stigmatization of indigenous medicine and holistic well-being will also be explored, with reference to perception as an awareness tool. The architectural response to the thesis is a collaborative facility at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital that will look at cooperation, education and research with indigenous practitioners, doctors and the public. The will create an opportunity to link the two medicinal systems together and encourage interaction and understanding between the two. It will further place importance on indigenous systems and knowledge that could potentially be used to treat patients universally. Indigenous medicine practitioners will also be housed within the facility to offer an alternative to the conventional system. Thus ideally creating a place where there is dialogue, transformation and appreciation for indigenous knowledge systems.

The aim of this study was to discuss the influence of the Taoyuan city's low-carbon community citizens' social capital, community consciousness and self-efficacy to the behavior intention. Simultaneously, analyzed the differences of different demographic variables in all of them mentioned above. The objects were the low-carbon community citizens who are over 20 years old living in Taoyuan City. The study used quota sampling based on the population of citizens in each community. Total 1,052 questionnaires were distributed. And obtained 1,010 valid questionnaires were retrieved with an effective response rate of 96%. The statistic software SPSS 22.0 (Chinese version) was used for data analysis. The statistical methods included descriptive statistic, independent- samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and regression analysis. The major findings of this study were summarized as follows. The different demographic variables have partial significant differences in social capital, community consciousness, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention. Social capital has significant positive effect on community consciousness. Community consciousness has significant positive effect on self-efficacy. Social capital has significant positive effect on self-efficacy and behavioral intention. Community consciousness has significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Self-efficacy has significant positive effect on behavioral intention. Social capital, community consciousness, and self-efficacy can effectively predict behavioral intention. Meanwhile, the “psychological” dimension of self-efficacy has the best prediction. Regarding mediator effect, community consciousness has partially mediation on the relationships between social capital and self-efficacy. Community consciousness and self-efficacy have partially mediation on the relationships between social capital and behavioral intention.

In order to developing of information technology, the computer and Internet has changed the way people live and promote the industrial upgrading, and relying on the network to provide real-time information is one of the common operating strategy. Knowledge exchange activities through the Internet will no longer be limited by the organizational and geographical stints, and people will be able to use the knowledge sharing platform to seek other aspects of daily life, study or professional problem solving. Members used the interaction mechanism of the platform to obtain the sharing knowledge, or the experience of same problem (Wang, 2008), and then feedback to the other members. Domestic enterprises usually faced the pressure of globalization and competitions, and they should actively explore how to promote knowledge management in order to create competitive advantage. However, the biggest problem encountered by the corporate members of the organization is not easily share the knowledge owned by individuals (Wu , 2000). Ruggles (1998) also thought that activities of knowledge management to knowledge sharing were the most difficult and should pay close attention. Therefore, if community members willing to knowledge sharing, and provide a good platform for the exchange of knowledge, will help to improve knowledge sharing, feedback behavior. In summary, this study is mainly to the social exchange theory, altruism and community identification of knowledge feedback for the research topic, and share knowledge as a mediating variable. In this study, we used the PTT which is the largest electronic bulletin board (BBS station) to be the research objects. We expected to offer 300 questionnaires, but a total of 257 questionnaires were collected, and we used SPSS to verify the underlying assumptions of this study. The result shows that: (1) social exchange theory, altruism and community identification has a positive impact on knowledge sharing; (2) knowledge sharing has a positive impact on the knowledge feedback; (3) social exchange theory, altruism and community identity has a positive impact on the knowledge feedback; (4) social exchange theory, altruism and community identification could be generated intermediary effect knowledge feedback by knowledge sharing.
