Full textThe present work comes as a research object of the adult population of streets in Goiânia, here represented by adult individuals that, independently of color, sex, religious creed, they present them selves with broken family relationships or in imminence of it. They make the urban public space their home. In the rise of XXI century on behalf of the modern capitalism, Goiânia comes across it s fragility in social attendance politics and welcomes in it s streets the homeless in absolute poverty. Although they seem to possess nothing, they bring inside themselves the strength that keep them linked to the human race, witch is God. This force always present in their speech is a living presence witch despite all keep them linked to their human identity. The rupture or misadjust of family tides shown in this work as one of the factors that make them go to the streets, as well as chemical dependence deserve future deep thoughts. Although the respect that the adult street population of Goiânia show to the Institutional Religion, they do not follow it s beliefs. This is the effect of centuries of religious creed making presence in the cultural and religious world of homeless in Goiânia. Faith in God transcends the churches and the institutional walls.
O presente trabalho aborda como objeto de pesquisa a população adulta de rua de Goiânia, aqui representada por indivíduos adultos que, independentemente da raça, da cor, do sexo, do credo religioso, da etnia, estão com os vínculos sociais e familiares rompidos ou na iminência de rompê-los e fazem do espaço público urbano, sua moradia. Em nome da modernidade capitalista, em pleno século XXI, Goiânia depara-se com sua fragilidade no âmbito da política de assistência social e "acolhe" em suas ruas os filhos da miséria absoluta. São pessoas que embora nada pareçam possuir, trazem dentro de si uma grande força, a crença em Deus, que os mantém ligados à raça humana. Essa mesma força, representada em seus discursos O faz presença viva e é o sustentáculo para manutenção de sua identidade de ser humano. O rompimento e/ou desajuste familiar abordado nesse trabalho como um dos fatores propiciadores à ida do indivíduo às ruas, bem como a dependência química, merecem futuras reflexões em águas mais profundas. Quanto à religião institucional, a população adulta de rua em Goiânia, embora a respeite ao dizer ser ela importante, não se prende a seus dogmas. É o reflexo da secularização marcando sua presença no mundo cultural religioso das ruas em Goiânia: sua fé e crença em Deus transcendem as paredes institucionais.

A segunda década do terceiro milênio chega ao fim e, com ela, um cenário político conservador. No Brasil, o poder da bancada BBB (Bala, Boi e Bíblia) no Congresso e a popularidade do presidenciável Jair Bolsonaro atestam isso. Esse cenário é resultado, em parte, da crescente influência das igrejas pentecostais e neopentecostais na arena política, havendo, em geral, uma convergência entre as posições ideológicas dos evangélicos e seus valores familiares. Para compreender esse fenômeno, fez-se um estudo de caso do mito familiar de uma denominação neopentecostal em particular: a Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD), o maior fenômeno religioso do Brasil dos últimos 30 anos, tomando-se como objeto de estudo a literatura produzida sobre e por seu líder e por membros de sua família. Os marcos teóricos do estudo foram: o pensamento do psiquiatra suíço Carl Gustav Jung, criador da psicologia analítica e a sociologia do neopentecostalimo brasileiro. A mitologia familiar IURDiana foi compreendida principalmente a partir do estudo sobre o mito familiar IURDiano, dividida em: o mito do herói, o mito do Eterno Feminino e o mito familiar propriamente dito, um construto teórico ainda pouco explorado na comunidade Junguiana. Outros intérpretes do mito também foram incluídos: Simone de Beauvoir, Joseph Campbell, Mircea Eliade e James Hillman. Apresentou-se um breve histórico sobre as três ondas do pentecostalismo no país e da trajetória da IURD, desde a sua fundação à inauguração do Templo de Salomão. A análise centrou-se nos perfis do homem, da mulher e da família de Deus idealizados por Edir Macedo. Foram apontadas como características da teologia IURDiana: a submissão da mulher, o domínio da razão sobre emoção, o fomento à prosperidade material e a luta constante contra outros credos, havendo evidências de que o mito familiar da Igreja Universal seja uma adaptação pós-moderna da “família tradicional” brasileira. Esta seria uma família patriarcal, cuja configuração coloca o mito pessoal do pai como o mito central da família. Esse modelo de família tradicional ajudaria as fiéis da IURD a recuperarem a unidade familiar e serem valorizadas frente a situações de exclusão econômica e social. As posturas contraditórias dos pastores, obreiros e até do próprio Bispo perante o seu mito familiar também foram discutidas.
The second decade of the third millennium is brought to an end, and with it comes a conservative bent in the political scenario. In Brazil, the power of the BOB (Bullet, Ox, and Bible) parliamentary bench and presidential Jair Bolsanaro’s popularity attests that. This scenario is in part the result of the growing influence of Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal churches in the political arena, with a general convergence between the ideological positions of evangelicals and their family values. In order to understand this phenomenon, a case study was made of the family myth of a Neo-Pentecostal denomination in particular: the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, the greatest religious phenomenon in Brazil in the last 30 years, taking as the object of study the literature about and by their leader, Edir Macedo, and members of his family. The theoretical frameworks of the study were: the ideas of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, analytical psychology’s founder and the sociology of Brazilian neopentecostalism. The IURDian mythology was mainly understood from the study on the IURDian family myth, divided into: the myth of the hero, the myth of the Eternal Feminine and the family myth properly said, a theoretical construct still unexplored in the Jungian community. Other interpreters of the myth were also included: Simone de Beauvoir, Joseph Campbell, MirceaEliade and James Hillman. A brief history was given of the three waves of Pentecostalism in the country and the trajectory of the IURD, from its foundation to the inauguration of Solomon’s Temple. The analysis focused on Edir Macedo’s idealized profiles of the man, woman and family of God. Some characteristics of IURDian theology: the submission of women, reason over emotion, the promotion of wealth and the constant clash against other religions, with evidence that the family myth of the Universal Church is a postmodern adaptation of the “traditional” Brazilian family. It’s a patriarchal family whose arrangement puts the personal myth of the father as the central myth of the family. This traditional family model helps IURD’s female churchgoers to recover family unity and to be valued in the face of economic and social exclusion. The contradictory positions of pastors, laborers and even the Bishop himself in the face of their family myth were also discussed.

Full textThis bachelor paper studies the positive experience of the retreat movement “Encounters hof Spouses”. This movement aims at reconciliation of families where spouses have relationship problems. This movement encourages openness and dialogue between spouses which is based on discovering the image and likeness of God in the human person. The paper therefore, stresses the role of understanding both oneself and the other person as having natural dignity and worth due to the image and likeness of God. This understanding leads to an open dialogue between spouses which brings confidence, trust and new unity. The methodology of the research was participant observation. The spouses shared their experience by talking and analyzing the positive changes in their relationships. The paper aims at the theological anthropological generalization of this help to families and provides some recommendations of how to apply this experience more widely. Thus , the paper is relevant and important for today’s society and Christian communities. The first part of the paper discusses the theological aspects of the human person and marriage in God’s plan for this world as seen from the documents of the Catholic Church. It deals with the Christian idea of the family as a reflection of the Trinitarian Union and as a vocation for divine love, as well as complete self-giving. It also analyzes marriage as a sacrament. The second part of the paper is devoted to the phenomenon of the dialogue as the basic... [to full text]

Full textSammanfattning I Sverige avlider ca 90 000 personer varje år och antalet som avlider någon annanstans än på sjukhus ökar. Detta ställer högre krav på den palliativa hemsjukvården. Genom utbildning och riktlinjer kan sjuksköterskor i den palliativa vården ge patienter och närstående ökad livskvalitet och möjliggör valet av platsen att få avsluta sitt liv.
In Sweden the death of about 90 000 people each year and the number who die elsewhere than in hospital increases. This places greater demands on the palliative home care.

The aim: of this study was to investigate if the interaction between nurse, relatives and patient facilitates a good care and death in palliative care. Method: The study was conducted as a literature study in which seven quantitative and ten qualitative research articles were reviewed. Results: Four categories were identified that were relevant for nursing care and death in palliative care, Communication, Relationships between nurses, patients and relatives, To die at home or in hospice and The good death. The communication was found to have a large impact on the interaction in the palliative care. The results showed that the communication involved much more than just verbal. Although humor can be regarded as trivial and unprofessional proved to have a significant impact on the interaction and contributed to the nurse came closer to the patient and the relatives. The need for education and knowledge in palliative care were found to be important for nurses but also for patients and relatives to make decisions about where and how the patient wants to be nursed.

Full textThis production thesis utilizes an artistic-creative methodology through the workings of both heuristic and hermeneutical approaches to explore the function of story—how we are told stories and how we retell them—throughout an individual’s life. Furthermore, this thesis examines their role and effect on the mental-emotional realm. Through the craft of creating her own personal fairy tale by way of active imagination, the author offers an example of working with archetypal images (common to the author as well as the collective) to come into contact with unconscious drives and shadow impulses, confront their intentions, and ultimately come to resolution over their tensions, resulting in psychological transformation. This thesis offers a look into the importance of play, the imaginal realm, and the endless nature of meaning making and their relationship to healing.

Full textSammanfattning
Vi har gjort en kritisk diskursanalys av AC:s (Adoptionscentrum) medlemstidning under perioderna; 1975-1985, 1986-1996, 1997-2006. Frågeställningen lyder: Hur konstitueras diskursen om ”det goda adoptivföräldraskapet” genom AC:s medlemstidning? Vilka är möjlighetsvillkoren och vilka konsekvenser innebär diskursen? Vårt syfte har varit att förstå diskursen om ”det goda adoptivföräldraskapet”. Vi har utgått ifrån socialkonstruktioniskt, poststrukturalistiskt perspektiv och språkfilosofi.
Vårt huvudsakliga resultat har visat sig vara att AC konstituerar diskurser som producerar och reproducerar ett antal normativa föreställningar om föräldraskap, familj och individer som bygger på socialt konstruerade föreställningar om vad som är en ”riktig” familj, bra föräldraegenskaper och barnets bästa. Diskursen ”det goda adoptivföräldraskapet” uppnås genom aktivt medlemskap i adoptionsorganisationen AC. Begreppet ”barnets bästa” har visat sig vara en flytande signifikant för att konstituera olika diskurser som alla handlar om att etablera eller upprätthålla AC som organisation. Genom barnets bästa har AC fått möjlighet att legitimera sina egna verksamhetsområden, styra över vem som är lämplig förälder, vem som får bilda familj och vika barn som är tillgängliga för adoption. Ytterligare resultat har visat på att AC under perioden fått ökad makt genom att förmedlingen av adoptivbarn har övergått till adoptivorganisationerna. Således har statens makt och inflytande fördelats över ytterligare en instans.
Abstract
This essay is a critical discourse analysis on AC’s (Adoption Centre Organisation, Sweden) magazine for members during three periods; 1975-1985, 1986-1996, 1997-2006. Our main question is how discursive statements are made on “the good adoptive parenthood” in this magazine? What possible changeable meanings and truths are given by the discourses? Our aim is to understand the discourse “the good adoptive parenthood”. The theoretical framework consists of knowledge of social constructivism, post structural perspective and philosophy of language.
Our main results are that AC constitutes discourses that produce and reproduce a number of assumptions about parenthood, family and individuals as normative and influenced by social constructed assumptions about what is; a “real” family, a good parenthood or “the child’s best interest”. The discourse of “the good adoptive parenthood” is gained through membership in the adoption organisation AC. The claim of “the child’s best interest” has in this essay being found as a fluent significant to constitute a variety of discourses, which all aim to establish and maintain the organisation. Through the principle of “the child’s best interest”, AC has found a way to legitimate their own fields, to decide who is a suitable parent, who shall form a family, and which child will be available for adoption. Further result shows that AC during the studied period has gained increased legal and governmental power in the field of adoption. As a result, the governmental power and influence in the adoption field has been divided through additional authorities.

Consumer financial decision-making is an important issue around the world. The current study investigated this matter using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Building on the concept of social capital, the qualitative study explores the financial vulnerability phenomenon in Brazil from the perspective of jeitinho—a way of getting things done by means of personal relationships. Analysis of 21 in-depth interviews provides a unique context for showing how this indigenous construct shapes marketplace and consumer practices, thus creating a mutually reinforcing cycle of financial dependency and vulnerability. A socioecological framework highlights how the interactions between personal characteristics (microsystem) and marketplace practices and social structures (meso- and macrosystems) may lead individuals to experience or avoid financial vulnerability. Values that are typical of Brazilians were also used to explain financial management behaviors, consumer resistance, and responsibility in the marketplace. Findings provide new insights for understanding financial vulnerability from a cultural perspective. It shows that consumers become indebted in order to support their relationships—sometimes using them as an excuse to justify hedonic consumption—and companies take advantage of this social reciprocity in their lending and retail practices perpetuating the cycle of dependency and vulnerability. The borrowinglending dynamic between relatives and friends is then explored in the quantitative study. The theoretical background includes discussion on materialism, consumer spending self-control, and the use of credit. A survey of 997 Brazilian adults was conducted to test two hypotheses. The evidences support that: more materialistic individuals are more likely to borrow from relatives and friends (H1) and individuals with a high level of consumer spending self-control are less likely to borrow from relatives and friends (H2). Results support the argument that both materialism and consumer spending self-control predicts borrowing behavior. Implications for public policy and suggestions for future research are then presented.
A tomada de decisão financeira do consumidor é uma questão importante em todo o mundo. Nesta pesquisa, esse tema é investigado por meio das abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa. Com base no conceito de capital social, o estudo qualitativo explora o fenômeno da vulnerabilidade financeira no Brasil sob a perspectiva do jeitinho—sob a forma de resolver situações por meio de relacionamentos pessoais. A análise de 21 entrevistas em profundidade fornece um contexto único para mostrar como o jeitinho molda o mercado e as práticas de consumo, criando um ciclo de dependência e vulnerabilidade financeira que se reforça mutuamente. A abordagem socioecológica destaca como as interações entre características pessoais (micro sistema) e práticas de mercado e estruturas sociais (meso e macro sistemas) podem levar os indivíduos a experimentar ou evitar a vulnerabilidade financeira. Os valores típicos dos brasileiros também foram utilizados para explicar comportamentos de gestão financeira, resistência e responsabilidade do consumidor no mercado. Os resultados fornecem insights para entender a vulnerabilidade financeira a partir de uma perspectiva cultural: mostrando que os consumidores se endividam para sustentar seus relacionamentos—às vezes até os usando como uma desculpa para justificar o consumo hedônico—e que as empresas aproveitam essa reciprocidade social em suas práticas de mercado, perpetuando o ciclo de dependência e vulnerabilidade. A dinâmica de empréstimos entre parentes e amigos é, então, explorada no estudo quantitativo. O quadro teórico inclui literatura sobre materialismo, autocontrole e o uso de crédito. Uma pesquisa do tipo survey com 997 brasileiros foi realizada para testar duas hipóteses. As evidências sustentam que: indivíduos mais materialistas são mais propensos a pegar dinheiro emprestado de parentes e amigos (H1) e indivíduos com alto nível de autocontrole dos gastos são menos propensos a pegar dinheiro emprestado de parentes e amigos (H2). Os resultados sugerem que tanto o materialismo quanto o autocontrole dos gastos predizem o comportamento dos empréstimos. Implicações para políticas públicas e sugestões para pesquisas futuras são apresentadas.

Full textThis thesis demonstrates that the ecclesiology of the Church-God’s family can be built in relation to the issue of the social welfare for the priests, and linked to that, the issue of the social welfare for the sacred ministers can be thought about with regard to the theology of the Church as Family of God. The finding of weaknesses in the ecclesial practices of the social welfare for the priests which exists in Côte d’Ivoire and their difference with the Church magisterium texts makes me consider a principle: the organization of a social welfare for priests aims at making them free from worries in the future, which can harm (endanger) their ministry and their availability in the present time. In addition, when they are restored in the pastoral and theological context of the new evangelization, and if they are in connection, the ecclesiological issue of the Church-Family and that of the social welfare for the priests evoke the major stake of the Christians’ social commitment. If the reception of a theology of commitment contributes to an emergence of an authentic Christian commitment, the entrepreneurial ecclesiology suggests the pastoral entrepreneurship as another way to undertake in Church-Family to make a success of the bet of the social welfare for the priests in accordance with the wish of the Council Fathers taken back in the Code of Canon law of 1983

Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo de caso da cooperativa Gran Lago, de produtores familiares de plantas medicinais, situada em Vera Cruz do Oeste, PR e a importância do programa de plantas medicinais da ITAIPU Binacional para os cooperados. Formulários foram elaborados a partir do manual de boas práticas agrícolas (BPA) elaborado pelo Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) e aplicados aos produtores de plantas medicinais, cooperados da Gran Lago. Resultados indicam que a implantação de projetos tecnológicos, apoiados por instituições públicas e privadas, vem contribuindo para capacitar a agricultura familiar. O diagnóstico também apontou limitações quanto à tecnologia preventiva, de processamento, capacitação, cultivo e comercialização. Levantamentos com cooperados inativos apontam que a garantia na comercialização é o principal problema a ser resolvido. O programa CAB - Cultivando Água Boa, tem relevância por promover ações que levam a incorporar renda aos produtos de baixo valor agregando desenvolvimento sustentável e ações de combate à desigualdade social

Full textThe aim of the study was to examine how social workers describe foster parents’ need of support in the event of a placement breakdown and which opportunities the social workers perceived having to meet the parents’ needs. A focus group and three individual interviews were made, including totally seven social workers in the study. The theoretical approach was the theory of street-level bureaucracy with focus on the concept of discretion. The social workers described a difficulty to talk about placement breakdown without seeing the placement as a whole. It became obvious that identifying foster parents’ needs during or after a placement breakdown was not perceived as part of the social workers’ work tasks. Although, they expressed that foster parents’ may need support in this situation. The social workers described an emotional process for foster parents, which they responded to with listening as well as “giving time for recovery”. Organizational conditions affecting the work were discussed in terms of workplace culture and organization, the management’s insight and trust, a high workload and geographically long distance which enabled or limited the social workers.
