Abstract:
Na atualidade, a esquizofrenia é um dos principais problemas de saúde pública e afeta, além dos pacientes, os seus familiares, causando inúmeros prejuízos funcionais e sociais. A esquizofrenia é definida como uma doença que afeta a zona central do eu e altera toda a estrutura vivencial da pessoa. O esquizofrênico representa o estereótipo do louco, um indivíduo que produz grande estranheza social devido ao seu desprezo para com a realidade reconhecida. Cada grupo social define a esquizofrenia de acordo com seus conhecimentos, crenças e ações específicas. A família tem um lugar e função central na vida dos portadores de esquizofrenia. A confirmação do diagnóstico e o início da doença constituem alguns dos fatores que geram inúmeras mudanças no contexto familiar. Assim, constituiu-se objeto deste estudo apreender o sentido dado pela família acerca do processo de adoecimento do portador de esquizofrenia e os mecanismos para lidar com a doença. Trata-se de um estudo de caso etnográfico, fundamentado no referencial da teoria sistêmica familiar e da antropologia médica, realizado no período de agosto a dezembro de 2005. Participaram do estudo uma família composta por pai, mãe, cinco filhos, dos quais quatro são portadores de esquizofrenia, em seguimento no Núcleo de Saúde Mental do Centro de Saúde Escola da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da observação, análise dos prontuários, registros no diário de campo e entrevistas gravadas realizadas com a família, em sua maioria, no domicílio. Para a apresentação dos dados utilizamos o genograma, história familiar, análise do sistema familiar e descrição das categorias obtidas nas entrevistas. A partir da construção do genograma, pode-se conhecer a estrutura interna da família. A análise do sistema familiar permitiu descrever além da estrutura, seu funcionamento e desenvolvimento. As entrevistas foram transcritas e submetidas a uma análise de conteúdo latente. A análise das entrevistas permitiu identificar sete categorias temáticas relacionadas ao sentido dado ao processo de adoecimento e aos mecanismos de enfrentamento da família. As categorias referem-se às representações sobre o normal e o patológico, as representações do termo esquizofrenia, as explicações para a doença, o impacto relacionado ao sofrimento, à sobrecarga, ao isolamento social e às tarefas da cuidadora, às modificações no relacionamento familiar, o tratamento e a cura. Para a família em estudo, o adoecimento dos filhos causou um rompimento em sua trajetória de vida. O impacto da esquizofrenia foi revelado pelos familiares mediante a manifestação de sentimentos de tristeza, isolamento social e sobrecarga. Os resultados nos levam a considerar que a assistência ao doente mental constitui um desafio para os profissionais de saúde. Torna-se necessário e urgente incluir a família como unidade de cuidado, além de garantir a manutenção do tratamento farmacológico e a reabilitação psicossocial.
On the present days, schizophrenia is one of the most important problems on public health which affects not only the patients, but also their families, causing many functional and social losses. Schizophrenia is defined as an illness that affects the id central zone and changes all person’s living structure. The schizophrenic illrepresents the stereotype of the crazy one, an individual who causes huge social oddness due to his/her despisal to the known reality. Each social group defines schizophrenia according to their knowledge, beliefs and specific actions. Family has a place and a central function on the life of the schizophrenic ill. The diagnostic confirmation and the illness beginning are some of the events that create a number of changes on the family context. Therefore, the objective of this study is learning both the sense given by the family to the illness development process and the facing mechanisms to deal with schizophrenia. This is an ethnographic case study based on the reference of the family systemic theory and medical anthropology, conducted during August through December of 2005. A family composed by father, mother and five kids, four of which are schizophrenic, being followed at the Núcleo de Saúde Mental do Centro de Saúde Escola da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo. Data were obtained by observation, review of medical registry, camp diary notes and recorded interviews carried out with the family what, mostly happened at their home. A genogram, family history, family system analysis and description of categories from the interviews were used to present the data. From the building of the genogram, one can know the family’s internal structure. The family system analysis allowed describing not only the structure, but the function and development. The interviews were transcribed and submitted to a latent content analysis . The interview analysis allowed pointing seven thematic categories related to the sense given to the illness process and the facing mechanisms used by the family. The categories refer to representation about what is normal and pathologic, representations of the term schizophrenia, explanations to the disease, the impact on suffering, overload, social isolation and tasks for the care taker, changes in family, the treatment and cure. For the studied family, the children illness has caused a break up to their life way. The impact of schizophrenia was shown by the family members by manifesting feelings of sadness, social isolation and overload. The results lead us to thinking that the assistance to the mentally ill brings a challenge to health care professionals. To include the family as a care unit, besides assuring the pharmacology treatment and psycho-social rehabilitation, becomes necessary and urgent.

Abstract:
Sustainable landscaping includes utilization of plants requiring few inputs. We chose four species showing potential for use in arid landscapes: Purshia mexicana, Shepherdia argentea, Shepherdia rotundifolia, and Alnus maritima. We sowed seeds of S. rotundifolia, S. argentea and P. mexicana in three substrates with various water-holding properties due to differing amounts of organic matter (OM). S. rotundifolia germination was maximized in a calcined clay (66.2%) containing no OM and had low germination (12.7 - 21.8%) in the other substrates. S. argentea germination (42.3 to 53.7%) was similar in all substrates. Poor seed quality of P. mexicana resulted in inconclusive results. Our results suggest that germination of some species is enhanced by substrates with excellent drainage properties. We also investigated effects of different rates of controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) on symbiotic nodule formation in seaside alder. We found that lower than prescribed rates of CRF enhanced nodulation without compromising nitrogen status.

Abstract:
The submitted diploma thesis focuses on the organizational culture in terms of preschool education, particularly at nursery schools. There are specific elements of the organizational culture for preschool education as well as factors that affect organizational culture at nursery schools within the external and internal environment of the school. This thesis diagnoses the organizational culture at a particular nursery school. Based on this diagnosis, we can say that a strong organizational culture can be created even at a nursery school. There is also the relationship between organizational culture, effectiveness of organization and quality of education that implies from the positive evaluation of this nursery school. The thesis draws up recommendations for this specific nursery school, which are focused primarily on communication and foreknowledge. Recommendations are designed for founders of public nursery school as well. In terms of public nursery school, there should not be an argument of a lack of funds from this perspective, there should rather be a better utilization of that a strong organizational culture offers.

Abstract:
Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a influência do volume e da granulometria do substrato comercial, utilizado na produção de mudas em tubetes, sobre o crescimento vegetativo das plantas de café, bem como o tempo de formação das mudas e a estabilidade ao manuseio do conjunto muda-substrato. O experimento foi conduzido no viveiro do Centro de Café do IAC, localizado na Fazenda Santa Elisa, Campinas, SP, utilizando a cultivar Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144 (Coffea arabica L.). Foram adotados nove tratamentos com quatro repetições, com delineamento de blocos ao acaso em esquema fatorial 3 x 3, formado pela combinação de três volumes de substrato (50, 120 e 200 cm3) e três granulometrias proporcionadas pelas seguintes composições granulométricas: 100% de substrato comercial na granulometria original, 100% de substrato comercial finamente moído e pela mistura, em volume, de 50% de substrato na granulometria comercial com 50% de substrato moído. A influência das variáveis (volume e granulometria) do substrato no crescimento das mudas de café foi avaliada por meio das determinações dos parâmetros biométricos vegetativo da parte aérea e raízes como: número de pares de folhas, altura da planta, diâmetro do caule, matéria seca da parte aérea e das raízes, área foliar total, área foliar média, área do 1o par de folhas, comprimento e superfície de raízes. Em complemento aos objetivos do trabalho foram, também, avaliados o tempo de formação das mudas e a estabilidade ao manuseio do conjunto muda-substrato. O crescimento das plantas depende do volume e da granulometria do substrato, sendo maior com a utilização de 200 cm3 de substrato e a diminuição da granulometria pela mistura, em partes iguais, do substrato finamente moído com o substrato comercial na granulometria original. O tempo de formação das mudas correlacionou com o volume de substrato, demandando 134, 124 e 81 dias para a emissão do 4o par de folhas, quando as plantas cresceram nos recipientes com 50, 120 e 200 cm3 de substrato, respectivamente. A estabilidade ao manuseio do conjunto mudasubstrato varia com o tamanho do recipiente, sendo maior nos tubetes com 50 e 120 cm3 de substrato, e a redução parcial da granulometria, pela mistura granulométrica, aumentou a aderência das partículas com as raízes e, portanto, a estabilidade do conjunto.
The objectives of this research are the evaluation of substrate volume and granulometer influence - used in production of coffee seedlings in plastic tubes - on coffee plants growth, the time of seedlings development and also seedling-substrate handling stability. The investigation was carried out in a nursery at Coffee Experimental Center of IAC, SP, Brazil, with the cultivar Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144 (Coffea arabica L.). Nine treatments were tested with 4 replicates and the experimental design used was randomized blocks with 3x3 factorial composed by 3 substrate volumes (50, 120 and 200 cm3) and 3 granulometer substrate levels obtained by the following granulometer compositions: 100% of substrate on original granulometer, 100% of crushed substrate and the mix, in volume, of 50% of substrate on original granulometer and 50% of crushed substrate. The substrate volume and granulometer influence on coffee seedlings growth was evaluated by determination of growth parameters of shoot and root as: number of leaves, seedling height, stem diameter, root and shoot dry matter, total leaf area, average leaf area, first leaf area, root length and surface. In addition to these parameters, the time of seedlings development and seedling-substrate handling stability were also investigated. The seedlings growth depend on substrate volume and granulometer, being higher when 200 cm3 of substrate volume are used keeping an equal proportion of the different substrate granulometers (original and crushed). The time of seedlings growth did show a correlation with the substrate volume demanding 134, 124 and 81 days for developing the 4th leaf pair when the plants developed in 50, 120 and 200 cm3 of substrate, respectivelly. The seedling-substrate handling stability differs with recipient size, while the granulometer reduction increases the seedling-substrate stability.

O fenômeno social que se desenhou na esfera da educação infantil nos últimos anos, provocado muito pelo aumento do número de crianças em unidades educacionais, traz a emergência de repensar o fazer pedagógico e a atuação do profissional da educação infantil, buscando compreender a criança pequena como um ator social. Embora o debate sobre a finalidade da educação infantil tenha se intensificado quanto a ser sua tarefa ensinar e reproduzir o modelo de currículo por disciplinas, de outra parte, acentua-se a defesa por uma educação infantil comprometida com a brincadeira e a cultura infantil, como expresso nas atuais Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para Educação Infantil, de 2009. Neste sentido, com a contribuição de teóricos das áreas da educação, psicologia e sociologia e a partir da análise documental de parte da produção do conhecimento produzida na Creche UFF, este trabalho busca identificar e compreender como o brincar se apresenta em 35 produções elaboradas a partir e por essa unidade de educação infantil. Para tanto, tem como metodologia a análise documental, visando a pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, à luz do paradigma interpretativo. Esta pesquisa contribui com o reconhecimento da identidade dessa unidade de educação infantil, quando articula atividade de ensino, pesquisa e extensão para alunos dos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação e professores pesquisadores e, consequentemente, contribui para o diálogo e formação dos profissionais das variadas áreas do conhecimento que se dedicam a estudos da infância. Também com propostas curriculares na perspectiva de um trabalho pedagógico com as crianças no sentido de valorizar a brincadeira como algo próprio da cultura infantil. Além disso, busca proporcionar para estudiosos um repensar a respeito da importância dessa Unidade Universitária Federal de Educação Infantil como um campo de formação profissional e produção do conhecimento sobre a infância
The social phenomenon which was drawn in the field of early childhood education in recent years caused a lot by the increase in the number of children in educational units, brings the emergence of rethinking concepts and methods of pedagogical doing and the performance of the professional of early childhood education, aiming to understand the young child as a social actor. Although the debate about the purpose of early childhood education has intensified as to be its task to teach and make the curriculum model by subjects, on the other hand it is stressed the necessity for a childhood education committed to the childrens play and their culture, as expressed in the current National Curriculum Guidelines for early childhood education (2009). This way, with the contribution of the oreticals and from the documentary analysis of part of the production of knowledge of Nursery, this work seeks to identify and understand how the play is presented in the productions of knowledge produced from and by this unit of childhood education. To do so, there will be as methodology the documental analysis aiming the research of qualitative nature, in the light of the interpretative paradigm. This research aims to contribute to the recognition of the identity of this unit of childhood education, when it provides teaching, research and extension for students and teachers and consequently contributes to the dialogue and the training of professionals of different areas of knowledge that are dedicated to the studies about childhood. And also with the curricular proposal which offers a differential for the prospect of pedagogical work with children with the purpose of giving value to the childrens play as proper of the childrens culture

This research had the aim of understanding the resilience construction of the man in illness process and survival to prostate cancer, by the context knowledge of the man in this process, and a further learning about the promotion factors of high degree of resilience of the prostate cancer survivor men. It talks about a study of an ethnographic case done with two prostate cancer survivor men with high degree of resilience. These subjects were caught from the data bank at the quantitative step of the Resilience as a survival strategy to cancer research, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Rosani Manfrin Muniz. The ethnographic data collection has followed the steps proposed by Hammersley and Atkinson (2007) for ethnographic studies, being done on the informant places, between April and May of 2012, through an interview in deepness semi-structured of the participant observation and notes registered in a dairy field and eco-map construction. The data analysis was developed based on the Minayo (2007) proposal, and interpreted through the Geertz (1989,1997) culture referential. This study results have showed that the illness and survival process was lived in different ways by each man, in spite of the equality generated by prostate cancer on the perspective of belonging to the male gender. The feelings attributed by the subjects to the cancer diagnosis and treatment were different, since one had the cancer late discovered, requiring a more invasive treatment, and the other had an early diagnosis what avoided such traumatic experience. The treatments side effects were related to sexuality and pervaded the identity of being elder. These men relationship with family, religiousness and/ or spirituality and the relationship with the health services, specially the doctor-patient, were identified as resilience promoter factors. For both, their children had a highlighted role on the process, being the paternity considered as a fundamental factor for the identity affirmation as man. The belief of a superior being was mentioned by both of them but lived in a distinct way. The men reported a good relationship with the health services, considering them as fundamental to cancer transposition. Both men in this study said were survivals and referred to themselves as privileged and lucky men. The survival was viewed by one of them as the capacity of being able to do pleasure activities. For the other, discovering cancer early and having a prestigious professional help made him not a survival but a privileged man. Highlighting the importance that, in treating and taking care of the individuals health, professionals must pay attention to cultural aspects that make that person unique and special, thus, the chances of adhesion and following therapy become higher, since he feels as an integrant part of the whole cure and overcoming process, becoming active in front of his own health.
Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender a construção da resiliência do homem no processo de adoecimento e sobrevivência ao câncer de próstata, pelo conhecimento do contexto do homem nesse processo, além de apreender os fatores de promoção de alto grau de resiliência do homem sobrevivente ao câncer de próstata. Trata-se de um estudo de caso etnográfico realizado com dois homens sobreviventes ao câncer com alto grau de resiliência. Estes sujeitos foram captados do banco de dados da etapa quantitativa da pesquisa A resiliência como estratégia de sobrevivência ao câncer , sob coordenação da Profa. Dra Rosani Manfrin Muniz. A coleta dos dados seguiu as etapas propostas por Hammersley e Atkinson (2007) para os estudos etnográficos, sendo realizada no domicílio dos informantes, no período de abril e maio de 2012, por meio da entrevista semi estruturada em profundidade, da observação participante com anotações registradas em diário de campo e da construção do ecomapa. A análise dos dados desenvolvida com base na proposta de Minayo (2007), e interpretada por meio do referencial de cultura de Geertz (1989,1997). Os resultados deste estudo demonstram que o processo de adoecimento e sobrevivência foi vivenciado de maneira distinta por cada homem, apesar da experiência de ter o câncer de próstata os igualarem na perspectiva de sua identidade de ser homem. Os sentidos atribuídos pelos sujeitos ao diagnóstico de câncer e tratamentos decorrentes deste foram diferentes, pois, para um, o câncer foi descoberto tardiamente, requerendo tratamento mais invasivo e para outro, o diagnóstico precoce evitou que a experiência fosse tão traumática. Os efeitos colaterais oriundos dos tratamentos relacionaram-se a sexualidade e perpassaram pela identidade de ser homem idoso. Identificou-se como fatores promotores da resiliência a relação destes homens com a família, a religiosidade e/ou espiritualidade e a relação com os serviços de saúde, em especial a médico-paciente. Para ambos os homens, os filhos tem papel de destaque nesse processo, sendo a paternidade considerada fator fundamental para afirmação de sua identidade enquanto homem. A crença em algo superior foi referenciada por ambos os homens, mas vivenciada de maneira distinta. Ambos os homens relataram bom relacionamento com os serviços de saúde, considerando-os fundamentais para transposição do câncer. Com relação a considerar-se sobrevivente, os homens deste estudo referiram-se privilegiados e sortudos. A sobrevivência foi encarada, por um deles, como a capacidade de poder realizar as atividades que considera prazerosas. Para outro, ter descoberto o câncer rapidamente e ter contado com o auxilio de um profissional de prestigio, o fizeram privilegiado, não sobrevivente. Conclui-se salientando a importância de que, no tratar e cuidar da saúde dos indivíduos, os profissionais atentem para os aspectos culturais que tornam aquele ser humano único e especial, pois, assim, as chances de adesão e seguimento de qualquer terapêutica aumentam, pois o individuo sente-se parte integrante de todo o processo de cura e superação, tornando-se ser sujeito ativo frente a própria saúde.

Abstract:
Multiple projects were conducted to investigate the potential for developing a breeding program utilizing species of Catalpa Scop. and Chilopsis D. Don. The efficacy of oryzalin was evaluated for inducing polyploidy and restoring fertility in the sterile, intergeneric hybrid ×Chitalpa tashkentensis Elias & Wisura [Catalpa bignonioidesWalt. x Chilopsis linearis (Cav.) Sweet] 'Pink Dawn'. Submerging meristems in 150 µM oryzalin for up to 24 hours was effective at inducing tetraploids and cytochimeras. Pollen from the diploid cultivar was non-viable, but pollen from the polyploid stained and germinated as well as pollen from progenitor taxa. Polyploid ×Chitalpa were self-compatible yielding tetraploids when self pollinated and triploids when crossed with C. bignonioides, but reciprocal crosses with Chilopsis taxa failed. To increase recovery of triploids, we investigated germination of ovules and embryos at various harvest dates on Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) basal salts supplemented with various medium components. Germination of triploid [(polyploid ×Chitalpa) x C. bignonioides] and tetraploid (selfed polyploid ×Chitalpa) embryos was greatest at 7 weeks after pollination on SH with 20 g·L-1 sucrose and ≥ 1 µM gibberellic acid (GA3). Triploids [Chilopsis linearis x (polyploid ×Chitalpa)] germinated < 5%. Additional studies were conducted to screen diverse taxa for resistance to powdery mildew (PM), Erysiphe elevata (Burr.) U. Braun & S. Takam, and catalpa sphinx larvae (CSL), Ceratomia catalpae (Boisduval). Twenty-four taxa from Catalpa (section Catalpa Paclt and Macrocatalpa Grisebach), Chilopsis, and ×Chitalpa were screened in 2004-05 for susceptibility to PM. Disease incidence and severity were recorded to calculate area under the disease progress curves (AUDPC) for each year. North American Catalpa spp. in sect. Catalpa, Chilopsis, and ×Chitalpa taxa were all moderate to highly susceptible to PM. Chinese Catalpa spp. in sect. Catalpa and West Indian sect. Macrocatalpa were resistant to PM. Hybrids among North American and Chinese Catalpa spp. in sect. Catalpa varied in susceptibility, indicating inheritance of partial resistance to PM. A no-choice feeding study conducted with CSL in 2005 found no differences in survival or growth of larvae reared on taxa from both sections of Catalpa, Chilopsis, and ×Chitalpa. Future breeding of ×Chitalpa can utilize the identified sources of resistance for PM; however, a source of resistance to CSL was not found. Triploids are generally infertile and may be deployed by breeders to limit invasive potential of introduced ornamentals. However, inheritance of ornamental traits can be complex at higher ploidy levels. Inheritance of two mutant foliage types, variegated and purple, was investigated for diploid, triploid and tetraploid tutsan (Hypericum androsaemum L.). Fertility of progeny was evaluated with pollen viability tests, percent fruit set, and germinative capacity of seed from specific crosses. Segregation ratios were determined for diploids in reciprocal di-hybrid F1, F2, BC1P1, and BC1P2 families and selfed F2s with the parental phenotypes and triploid and tetraploid F2s. Diploid di-hybrid crosses fit the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio for a single, simple recessive gene for both traits, with no evidence of linkage. A novel phenotype representing a combination of parental phenotypes was recovered. Data from backcrosses and selfing also supported the recessive model. Both traits behaved as expected at the triploid level; however, at the tetraploid level the number of variegated progeny increased, with segregation ratios between random chromosome and random chromatid assortment models. We propose the gene symbol var (variegated) and pl (purple leaf) for the variegated and purple alleles, respectively. Triploid pollen stained moderately well, but pollen germination was low. Triploid plants demonstrated extremely low male fertility and no measurable female fertility (no viable seed production). Research presented herein demonstrates the feasibility of manipulating ploidy levels for breeding desirable ornamental traits including non-invasiveness.

Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar como a interação entre as crianças da Creche Comunitária Sorriso de Criança, bem como os significados de gênero, que emergem de brinquedos e brincadeiras na infância, contribuem na construção de suas identidades de gênero. As brincadeiras e os brinquedos fazem parte da cultura infantil e, compreendidos enquanto um sistema simbólico, contribuem para o processo de socialização e de formação de identidades de gênero. Partimos do ponto de vista de que as interações estabelecidas pelas crianças fazem parte do rol de experiências objetivas e subjetivas que vão criando as suas identidades, bem como os papéis sociais de gênero. O estudo caracterizou-se como sendo do tipo etnográfico. A técnica utilizada foi a observação participante para analisarmos a interação entre 15 crianças de uma turma, com idades de 3 e 4 anos, com as educadoras e com os brinquedos e as brincadeiras. Foi possível perceber que as experiências entre as crianças são atravessadas por discursos performativos de gênero. Evidenciou-se nas interações que, mesmo entre as crianças de pouca idade, os papéis de gênero estão muito próximos daqueles vividos pelos adultos que convivem no mesmo contexto social e cultural, e os brinquedos e brincadeiras tendem a reproduzir os papéis de masculinidade e feminilidade normativa, experimentadas em diferentes espaços de interação entre as crianças e entre as crianças e os adultos, tanto da família quanto da Creche Comunitária Sorriso de Criança.
This research aims at analyzing the interaction between the children of the Creche Comunitária Sorriso de Criança, as well as the gender meanings that emerge from toys and games during childhood contribute to the construction of their gender identities. Play and toys are part of children's culture and, understood as a symbolic system, contribute to the process of socialization and the formation of gender identities. We start from the point of view that the interactions established by children are part of the list of objective and subjective experiences that are creating their identities, as well as gender social roles. The study was characterized as being of the ethnographic type. The technique used was the participant observation to analyze the interaction between 15 children of a group of 3 and 4 year olds, with educators and with toys and games. It was possible to perceive that the experiences among the children are crossed by performative discourses of gender. It has been shown in the interactions that, even among young children, gender roles are very close to those lived by adults living in the same social and cultural context, and toys and games tend to reproduce the roles of masculinity and normative femininity, experienced in different spaces of interaction between children and between children and adults, both in the family and in the Creche Comunitária Sorriso de Criança.

Six experiments were completed to determine factors influencing the use of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in diets for nursery and finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, 105 nursery pigs were fed corn-soybean meal (SBM) based diets with CP concentrations of 22.5, 25, and 27.5%. Overall ADG, ADFI, and G:F were not affected by increasing CP (P > 0.19). In Exp. 2, 105 nursery pigs were fed excess CP from SBM and DDGS. Overall ADG, ADFI, and G:F for pigs fed the control diet were not different from those fed the high CP treatments (P > 0.12). However, pigs fed the DDGS treatment had lower G:F than pigs fed the corn-soy diet with similar CP content (P < 0.04). For Exp. 3, 176 finishing pigs were fed diets with CP concentrations increasing from 12 to 18%. Increasing CP had no effect (P > 0.20) on ADG, ADFI, G:F, and hot carcass weight (HCW). For Exp. 4, 180 finishing pigs were fed excess dietary CP from SBM and DDGS. Pigs fed diets with high CP had lower ADG, ADFI, and HCW, but these results were caused by the diet with 40% DDGS (SBM vs DDGS, P < 0.001). For Exp. 5, 224 nursery pigs were used to determine the effects of extrusion processing on the nutritional value of DDGS. Overall ADG and ADFI were greater for pigs fed the corn-soy control compared to the DDGS treatments (P < 0.02). Extruding the DDGS did not improve ADG or G:F (P > 0.11), but DM and GE digestibility were greater for diets with extruded DDGS vs. unprocessed DDGS (P < 0.04). In Exp. 6, 200 finishing pigs were fed DDGS-based diets formulated for ME, NE, and digestible amino acids. Feeding DDGS lowered ADG (P < 0.09) and ADFI (P < 0.05). Formulating for ME, NE, and digestible amino acids needs improved ADG and G:F (P < 0.002) to that of the corn-soy control diet. In conclusion, moderate excesses of dietary CP does not impact growth performance. Also, extruding DDGS can improve the nutritional value of diets for nursery pig and formulating for ME, NE and digestible amino acid needs can improve growth performance of finishing pigs fed diets with high levels of DDGS.

Abstract:
A definição mais imediata para canção de ninar, uma das várias denominações brasileiras para este gênero poético-musical, é estabelecida por sua finalidade: canção feita para adormecer criança pequena; uma definição funcional,portanto. A análise do conteúdo poético e da forma destas canções permite identificar os elementos imprescindíveis à sua composição e eficácia estética, ampliando tal conceito. Desta maneira, a canção de ninar pode ser considerada um dos primeiros objetos culturais a que o ser humano é exposto. O medo da morte (perdas, despedidas, separações), presente nos cuidados maternos, paternos e de outros adultos com as crianças pequenas, especialmente com os recém-nascidos, penetra as canções de ninar em diferentes culturas, expressando-se em vários elementos, inclusive em suas figuras de terror. A esta linha interpretativa, substancializada por constatações advindas de uma prática clínica de atendimento psicológico às famílias de recém-nascidos, foi acrescida outra de caráter mais sociológico: o estudo de alguns textos de canções de ninar tradicionais brasileiras revelou elementos dos encontros e desencontros étnico-culturais dos diferentes povos que formaram a nação brasileira. O traço de terror, geralmente compreendido como medida disciplinar para o sono, aparece acentuado nas nossas canções também porque se origina em um ambiente colonial, escravocrata, contaminado por ameaças e hostilidades. Junto a vestígios de horror apareceram também traços de resistência e preservação cultural das etnias indígenas e negras; como se as canções de ninar fossem veículos propícios ao transporte resguardado de elementos fundamentais da cultura dos grupos humanos colonizados ou escravizados. As pesquisas e reflexões de Mário de Andrade e o estudo de acalantos compostos por artistas brasileiros contemporâneos permitiram conhecer e delinear melhor este gênero: o contexto que o origina, seu tom melancólico, sua forma curta e repetitiva, o uso da sonoridade nasal hum e da vogal u. Por sua qualidade artística, o acalanto pode revigorar o ambiente cultural que cerca o nascimento e a infância. Neste sentido, ele é potencialmente humanizador. O ambiente cultural é tão fundamental e delimitador da experiência humana quanto o ambiente físico e emocional (familiar ou institucional). Cuidar do surgimento das palavras, da sua afinação com a experiência vivida, de seu vigor e sentido; cuidar da experiência inicial com a palavra é condição para o desenvolvimento pleno deste ser de linguagem que é o homem. Assim, redimensiona-se neste estudo o conceito de puericultura que passa a abranger também as ações de cultivo da palavra e da poesia com a criança pequena.
The most immediate definition of lullaby, only one among several Brazilian denominations for this poetic-musical genre, is determined by its main purpose: a song intended for little children to fall asleep, a functional definition, therefore. The analysis of the poetical content and of the form of these songs allows us to identify the essential elements of their aesthetic composition and effectiveness, broadening such concept. Thus, the lullaby may be considered one of the first cultural objects that the human being is exposed to. The fear of death (losses, farewells, separations), present in the cares given by mothers, fathers and other grown-ups to little children, especially newborn babies, permeates the lullabies in different cultures, expressing itself in many elements, including its terror figures. To this interpretative line, based on observations derived from the practice of psychological assistance to the families of newborn babies, another one of a more sociological nature has been added: the study of some texts extracted from traditional Brazilian lullabies has revealed elements of the ethnic-cultural matches and mismatches of the different cultures that shaped the Brazilian nation. The element of terror, generally understood as a disciplinary measure for sleeping, is highlighted in our songs because it also has its origin in a colonial slave-based environment, contaminated by threats and hostilities. Along with the vestiges of horror, there have arisen traces of resistance and cultural preservation of black and indigenous ethnic groups, as if the lullabies had been proper conducive vehicles to the hedged transportation of fundamental elements of the culture of the colonized or enslaved human groups. The researches carried out by Mario de Andrade, as well as his reflections, and the study of lullabies composed by contemporary Brazilian artists allowed the better understanding and outline of this genre: the context where it comes from, its melancholic tone, its short and repetitive form, the use of the nasal sonority \'hum\' and the vowel \'u\'. For its artistic value, the lullaby can be quite refreshing for the cultural environment surrounding birth and childhood. In this sense, it is potentially humanizing.The cultural environment is as important and delimiting for human experience as the physical and emotional environment (familiar or institutional). Caring about the arising of new words, their affinity to the life experience, their vitality and sense; caring about the initial experience with words is a condition for the full development of this language-based being, the man. Hence, in this study, the concept of childcare is resized so as also to include the actions of cultivation of word and poetry with the little child.

Abstract:
There is increasing interest to examine the leadership styles of ward managers following the introduction of hospital service reform in Hong Kong in 1991. The leadership effectiveness of ward managers reflects organisational characteristics and affects work satisfaction. This study explored the relationships among the organisational cultures of two Hospital Authority hospitals, the leadership behaviours of ward managers and the work satisfaction of qualified nurses. The data collection methods included a survey of ward managers (n=24) and qualified nurses (n=221), and in-depth interviews with the ward managers (n=26), their supervisors (n=8) (general managers of nursing (n=2) and department operations managers (n=6)) and their subordinates (qualified nurses (n=16)). The findings of the survey show that the two hospitals have weak constructive and predominantly defensive cultures. In the survey data, the ward managers perceive themselves to be less transformational and transactional in their behaviours than they are regarded by the qualified nurses. At interview, the ward managers reported using participative man_agement which accords with the expectations of the qualified nurses. The survey and interview data confirm that the qualified nurses' perceptions of the leadership behaviours of the ward managers are related to the training programmes they had followed and the educational preparation of the ward managers. The survey findings reveal differences in ward managers' and qualified nurses' levels of work satisfaction. The findings reported will serve as a baseline for the development of the organisational cultures of the hospitals, for improving the leadership of the ward managers, and for enhancing the work satisfaction of the qualified nurses. Change management strategies are proposed and directions for future research are suggested.

Abstract:
À la fin du XXe siècle, l'école maternelle française est devenue l'école du langage pour toute une tranche d'âge, la petite enfance scolaire, afin de réduire les inégalités scolaires devant l'école. Or le langage, tout comme l'enfance, ne sont pas uniques et uniformes car ils sont socialement variables. La thèse interroge le primat du langage à l'école maternelle d'un double point de vue. Comment des enfances socialement différenciées sont-elles saisies par la norme du langage scolaire, un langage inscrit dans la culture écrite ? Quels sont les langages de l'enfance et quels rap-ports entretiennent-ils ? En prenant pour objet les primes socialisations langagières, la thèse étudie la socialisation plurielle et la différenciation sociale de la petite enfance scolarisée. L'analyse socio-historique montre que le primat du langage à l'école maternelle vient d'une attention sociale au jeune enfant. Après s'être portée sur son corps fragile, elle a investi ses productions symboliques, révélées par une « science de l'enfant » ethnocentrique. Progressivement, le jeune enfant devient un « objet culturel ». Au XIXe siècle, ce processus se situe dans les fractions instruites et dominantes de la bourgeoisie et de l'aristocratie, et les femmes de ces milieux investissent la petite enfance. Une première pédagogie du langage s'invente, au moins idéalement, dans l'école maternelle de la IIIe République qui voulait former un citoyen raisonnable. Mais c'est dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle que le langage devient une question scolaire, quand le problème social de l'« échec scolaire » surgit avec la massification. Un champ d'intervention professionnelle se constitue et impose des contenus et des pratiques légitimes. Entrepreneur de la littératie précoce, il véhicule les normes pédagogiques et les attentes de la bourgeoisie cultivée autour d'un « client idéal » : une définition élitiste du jeune enfant, qui présuppose son autonomie politique et cognitive. L'enquête ethnographique décrit des primes socialisations plurielles à la rencontre de plusieurs instances et leurs produits socialement différenciés : l'acculturation scolaire, la socialisation entre pairs, les socialisations familiales, la culture matérielle et symbolique de l'enfance (i. e. culture lu-dique et fictionnelle, culture graphique, alphabétique et lectorale, « traditions scolaires », culture légitime). Elle dévoile comment l'inégale distribution de ces produits langagiers structure des rapports sociaux (de classe et de genre) entre enfants au croisement de l'acculturation scolaire et d'un langage entre pairs. Elle reproduit la structure sociale. L'enquête conclut à une reconfigura-tion des fonctions différentielles de l'école maternelle : autour d'un curriculum réel, duquel une partie des milieux populaires est proche, et d'un curriculum caché, secondarisé, présupposant la réflexivité. Celui-ci est l'apanage des milieux dotés en ressources scolaires et l'objet légitime du champ d'intervention professionnelle de la littératie précoce. Finalement, la thèse montre que la priorité accordée au langage à l'école maternelle au nom de la réduction des inégalités scolaires perpétue la domination scolaire. Elle se réalise par la domination pédagogique que les entrepre-neurs et les entrepreneuses de normes exercent sur les agents des primes socialisations
At the end of the 20th century, the French nursery school has become the school of language for a whole age group, early childhood, in order to reduce school inequalities. However, both language and childhood are not unique and uniform because both of them are socially variable. This thesis questions the primacy of language in the nursery school from a double point of view: how do norms of school language, i.e. early literacy, affect children from socially different backgrounds? What are childhood’s languages and how are they connected? By taking language socialization as a research object, this thesis studies the plural socialization and social differentiation in schooled early childhood. The sociohistorical analysis shows that the primacy of language in nursery school came from social attention towards the young child. After having studied his fragile body, it invested his symbolic productions, revealed by an ethnocentric “science of the child”. Gradual-ly, the young child becomes a “cultural object”. Over the 19th century, this process took place in the educated and dominant parts of the upper class and the aristocracy. Women from these social groups took a close interest in early childhood. A first pedagogy of language was invented, at least ideally, in the Third Republic’s nursery school which aim was to bring up a reasonable citi-zen. But over the second half of the 20th century, language became a school issue, when the social problem of “school failure” appeared with mass schooling. A professional intervention field of early literacy was formed and imposed contents and norms for legitimate practices. Those early literacy entrepreneurs convey the educational standards and expectations of the cultivated middle class towards an “ideal customer”: by the elitist definition of a young child as someone with pre-supposed political and cognitive autonomy. The ethnographic inquiry describes plural socializa-tion involving several instances together and their socially differentiated products: school accul-turation, socialization among peers, family socializations, children material and symbolic culture (i.e. playful, fictional, graphic, alphabetical and reading culture, “school traditions”, legitimate culture). It reveals how the unequal distribution of these language products structures social rela-tions (both class & gender) between children at nursery school, at the crossroads between school acculturation and peer language. It reproduces social structure. The study concludes that the dif-ferential functions of nursery school are structured around both a real curriculum, (which part of the working class is comfortable with), and a hidden reflexive curriculum, (i. e. as a principal of extended literacy). This latter one belongs to social groups with education resources (i. e. middle class) and is the legitimate object of the professional intervention field in early literacy. Finally, the thesis shows that language established as a priority in order to reduce school inequalities actually perpetuates school domination. It happens through the pedagogical domination imposed by the norms entrepreneurs on the early language socialization’s agents

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em Enfermagem
A cultura organizacional é considerada, cada vez mais, como um atributo organizacional essencial para o sucesso das organizações, sendo constituída pelos valores, crenças, atitudes e pressupostos fundamentais partilhados entre os membros da organização. Esta partilha designa aspetos da natureza e funcionamento organizacional, tais como, o relacionamento interpessoal e intergrupal, as regras e normas, os objetivos, comportamentos apropriados, e formas de resolver problemas. Os enfermeiros são o fator indispensável para o sucesso de uma organização e, por isso, torna-se cada vez mais relevante a presença de uma cultura organizacional vincada, para a concretização de objetivos. A presente investigação teve como objetivo estudar a Cultura Organizacional dos Enfermeiros num Hospital Privado do Distrito do Porto. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo e transversal, tendo-se procedido à recolha de dados através do questionário “FOCUS”, validado e adaptado para a população portuguesa Neves (2000). O acesso ao grupo será realizado através de uma amostra não probabilística por conveniência, constituída por 36 Enfermeiros do referido hospital. Concluiu-se que a dimensão que predomina na instituição privada é a dimensão Regras e, aquela que os enfermeiros percecionam com valores mais baixos é a dimensão de Inovação. Desta forma, os resultados obtidos no presente estudo de investigação revelam que a instituição valoriza as regras, a estabilidade e os processos internos. No entanto é necessário intervir na flexibilização e processos externos, com o objetivo de aumentar a produtividade, melhorar a adaptação face aos desafios externos e estimular um ambiente de trabalho salutogénico.
Organizational culture is increasingly seen as an essential organizational attribute for the success of organizations, being constituted by values, beliefs, attitudes and shared fundamental assumptions among members of the organization. This sharing designates aspects of nature and organizational functioning such as interpersonal and intergroup relationships, the rules and standards, the goals, appropriate behaviors, and ways to solve problems. Nurses are a key element for the success of any health organization and because of that, the presence of a strong organizational culture focused on the achievement of goals, becomes increasingly relevant. This research aimed to study the organizational culture in a Private Hospital in the district of Porto. This is a quantitative and descriptive study. The data was collected through the questionnaire “FOCUS” questionnaire, validated and adapted for the Portuguese population by Neves (2000). Access to the group will be held through a non-probabilistic convenience sample consisting of 36 Nurses of that Hospital. Therefore, we conclude that the dimension that predominates in the private institution is the Rules dimension and that that nurses perceive with lower values is the Innovation dimension. Thus, the results obtained in the present research study reveal that the institution values the rules, stability and internal processes. However, it is necessary to intervene in flexibility and external processes, with the objective of increasing productivity and improving adaptation in the face of external challenges and stimulate a healthy working environment.

Abstract:
An organizational culture of safety affects employees' attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and values related to safe practice as well as their behaviors and level of engagement. The purpose of this project was to determine the influence of introducing the just culture model through staff engagement in an interactive workshop. A convenience sample of acute care staff were recruited for this 1-sample pretest and posttest project design. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture instrument was used to measure safety culture perceptions on 7 dimensions pre and post intervention. For the theoretical framework, Ajzen's theory of planned behavior and Kantar's empowerment theory were used. Welch's t test results showed significant improvement in perception scores overall (t = 2.7, p < 0.01), with posttest mean scores ('= 3.7) higher than pretest mean scores ('= 3.5). The dimension-specific mean posttest scores were significantly higher on 3 of the 7 dimensions including teamwork (t = 2.99, p < 0.05), feedback and communication (t = 2.14, p < 0.05), and frequency of event reporting (t = 2.31, p < 0.05). Major implications for social change include reduction of preventable errors and iatrogenic events; creating a healthcare environment that is safe, fair, transparent, and reliable; creating organizational learning through evidence-based patient safety training; and promoting the use of perception surveys to measure and improve the culture in one's organization. The project may provide a road map for just culture implementation. Future qualitative and quantitative research should explore effects of a just culture on safety reporting patterns and specific events such reducing medication errors or risk-taking behaviors.

Resumo: Medicamentos de Alta Vigilância apresentam estreito risco terapêutico e possuem um maior risco de causar dano significativo ao paciente em decorrência da falha de utilização, tornando-se os medicamentos de maior preocupação quando associados aos erros de medicação. Esta definição não indica que os erros associados a estes fármacos são mais frequentes, mas que as consequências para os pacientes de um erro associado a tais medicamentos são geralmente mais graves podendo provocar lesões permanentes ou fatais aos pacientes. O conhecimento insuficiente da enfermagem é considerado um dos fatores que contribuem para o erro na administração de medicamento. O instrumento Nurse¿s Knowledge of High-Alert Medication avalia o conhecimento de enfermeiros sobre os Medicamentos de Alta Vigilância, utilizando escala dicotômica, no qual o respondente informa verdadeiro ou falso para as afirmativas dos domínios: conhecimento dos enfermeiros sobre administração e regulamentação dos Medicamentos de Alta Vigilância. Deste modo, considerando a importância da mensuração do conhecimento dos enfermeiros sobre os Medicamentos de Alta Vigilância na oferta de serviços com qualidade e segurança ao paciente associado à inexistência no Brasil de um instrumento de medida válido com tal finalidade, o presente estudo teve por objetivo traduzir, adaptar e validar o instrumento Nurse¿s Knowledge of High-Alert Medication para a cultura brasileira e verificar a praticabilidade do instrumento traduzido e adaptado. Para desenvolver a adaptação do instrumento foi utilizado o referencial metodológico preconizado pela literatura, o qual envolve as etapas de tradução para o idioma alvo, síntese das traduções, retro-tradução, avaliação por um comitê de juízes e realização de pré-teste. Com relação às propriedades psicométricas, a confiabilidade da versão brasileira do questionário foi verificada por meio da consistência interna pelo coeficiente de confiabilidade de Kuder Richardson-20 (KR- 20) e a validade de constructo pela técnica de grupos conhecidos utilizando o teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney e o teste t de Student. O instrumento Nurse¿s Knowledge of High-Alert Medication traduzido e adaptado para a cultura brasileira foi considerado válido, apresentando validade de constructo discriminante (p< 0,001) e consistência interna aceitável (0,55 na parte A e 0,60 na parte B). Conclusão: A versão brasileira do instrumento Nurses¿ knowledge of high-alert medications encontrou resultados satisfatórios no processo tradução, adaptação e validação da escala, confirmando a sua adequação para estudos na área
Abstract: High-Alert Medication have narrow therapeutic risks and an increased risk of causing significant harm to the patient due to the use of failure, becoming the most concern medications when associated with the medication errors. This definition does not indicate that the errors associated with these drugs are more frequent, but the consequences for patients of an error associated with such drugs are usually more severe and it can cause permanent injury or death to patients. The insufficient knowledge of nursing is considered one of the factors contributing to the error in drug administration. The instrument Nurses 'Knowledge of High-Alert Medication evaluates the knowledge of nurses about the high-alert medication using dichotomous scale, in which the answerer states true or false to the assertions of the domains: nurses' knowledge of administration and regulation of high-alert medication. Thus, considering the importance of nurses' knowledge measurement about the High-Alert Medication in the provision of quality and safety services to the patient, associated with the lack in Brazil of a valid measurement instrument for such purpose, the present study had the aim to translate, adapt and validate the Nurse's Knowledge of High-Alert Medication instrument for Brazilian culture and verify the feasibility of the translated and adapted instrument. Order to develop this research, it was used the recommended methodological references in the literature, which includes the steps of: instrument translation into the target language, synthesis of translations, back-translation, evaluation by a committee of judges and implementation of pre-test. Regarding the psychometric properties, reliability of the Brazilian version of the questionnaire was verified using internal consistency by Kuder Richardson-20 reliability coefficient (KR- 20) and construct validity discriminant by the technique of known groups using the non-parametric test Mann-Whitney. The instrument Nurses' Knowledge of High-Alert Medication translated and adapted to the Brazilian culture was considered valid, with discriminant validity (p <0.001) and acceptable internal consistency (0.55 in Part A and 0.60 in Part B). Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the instrument Nurses' knowledge of high-alert medications has found satisfactory results in the process translation, adaptation and validation of the scale, confirming its suitability for studies in the area

Abstract:
Introduction The clinical community in Western society has long practised medicine as organized by "two dominant principles: 1) the principle of essentialism which states that there is a fixed "natural" border between disease and health, and 2) the principle of specific treatment which states that having revealed a disease, the doctor can, at least in principle, find the one, correct treatment. These principles have served as the legitimization of the traditional, hierarchical organization of health-care" (Jensen, 1987:19). A main feature of medical practices based on these principles has been to address specific kinds of problems impeding or decaying health. This research is centrally concerned with essentialism and the institutional fixation of problems as two important nodal points of Canada's biomedical value and belief system. More specifically, I hope to show in an organized way how these principles shape staff knowledge of client and culture in a community health centre (CHC) in Lethbridge, Alberta. My analysis is based on four guiding points: 1) that in our polyethnic society health care institutions are massively challenged with actual and perceived cultural diversity and cross cultural barriers to which their staff feel increasingly obliged to respond with their services; 2) while the client cultural diversity is "real", institutional responses depend primarily on how that diversity is imagined by staff -often as a threat to a health institution's sociocultural world; 3) that problem-specific, medicalized thinking is central in this community health centre, even though its mandate is health promotion and this problem orientation often combines with medical essentialism to reduce "culturally different" to a set of client labels, some of which are problematic; and 4) while a "lifestyle model" and other models for health promotion are at present widely advocated and are to be found centrally in this institution's (CHC) charter, they have led to little institutional accomodation to cultural diversity. In this thesis my aim is to present an ethnographic portrait of a community health centre, where emphasis is given to the distinctive formal and informal "formative processess" (Good 1994) of social construction of certain perceived common core challenges facing the Canadian biomedical community today - challenges concerning cultural difference and its incorporation into health care perception and practice. I am particularly interested in institutions subscribing to a "health promotion model" of health care, a term I have borrowed from Ewles and Simnett (1992). Ewles and Simnett descrive the meaning of "health promotion" as earlier defined by WHO (World Health Organization): this perspective is derived from a conception of "health" as the extent to which an individual or group is able, on the on hand, to realise aspirations and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand, to change or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living; it is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities (Ewles & Simnett, 1992:20) Health is therefore concerned with "a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity" (Ewles and Simnett, 1992:6), I am interested in determing how threats to this defintion prevail in a community health centre's ideology of preventive care, and how that ideology encodes dimensions of diversity. I, however, want to go much further than this by exploring everyday staff discourse and practice, to understand how client cultural diversity is formed and informed by what staff do and say. How, in short, do individuals based in a health promotion organization socially construct their clients as objects of institutional concern? We need, as Young (1982) suggest, "to examine the social condition of knowledge production" in an institutionalized health care service provision subculture. There are, I believe, also practical reasons for conducting this research. Over the past ten years the Canadian health care system increasingly has had to focus on two potentially contradictory goals: reducing costs, and lessening persistent inequalities in health status among key groups and categories of persons in the Canadian population. Many now argue that one of the most central dimensions of the latter - of perisistent health inequalities in Canada - is ethnocultural. Few would seriously argue, for example, that Canadian First Nation health statistics are anything but appalling. Moreover, radical changes in immigration patterns over the past three decades have greatly increased urban Canadian cultural diversity. Caring "at home" now assumes international dimensions (McAdoo, 1993; Butrin, 1992; Buchignani, 1991; Indra, 1991, 1987; Galanti, 1991; Dobson, 1991; Waxler-Morrison, 1990; Quereshi, 1989). A growing voiced desire to provide more pluralistic health care and health care promotion has become persistently heard throughout the clinical community in Canada (Krepps and Kunimoto, 1994; Masi, 1993). Even so, for many health professionals cultural difference evidently remians either irrelevant or a threat to the established order of things. Applied research on health care institutions undertaken to investigate how better to meet these challenges nevrtheless remains very incomplete and highly concentrated in two broad areas. One of these is structural factors within the institution that limit cross-cultural access (Herzfeld, 1992; Hanson, 1980). Some of these studies have shown the prevalence of a strictly conservative institutional culture that frequently makes frontline agency workers gate-keeprs, who actively (if unconsciously) maintain client-institution stratification (Ervin, 1993; Demain, 1989; Ng, 1987; Murphy, 1987; Foster-Carter, 1987; de Voe 1981). In addition, extensive research has been conducted on disempowered minority groups. This research has examined the frequency, effectiveness and manner with which ethnic and Native groups make use of medical services. Some institutional research on cross-cultral issues shows that under appropriate conditions health professional like nurses have responded effectively to client needs by establishing culturally sensitive hiring and training policies and by restructuring their health care organizations (Terman, 1993; Henderson, 1992; Davis, 1992; Henkle, 1990; Burner, 1990). Though promising, this research remains radically insufficient for learning purposes. In particular, little work has been done on how such institutions come to "think" (Douglas, 1986) about cultural difference, form mandates in response to pressure to better address culturally different populations and work them into the institution's extant sub-cultral ideas and practice (Habarad, 1987; Leininger, 1978), or on how helping instiutions categorize key populations such as "Indians" or "Vietnamese" as being culturally different, or assign to each a suite of institutionally meaningful cultural attributes (as what becomes the institution's working sense of what is, say, "Vietnamese culture"). This is so despite the existence of a long and fruitful ethnographic institutional research tradition, grounded initially in theories of status and role (Frankel, 1988; Taylor, 1970; Parson, 1951), symbolic ineractionism (Goffman, 1967, 1963, 1961), ethnomethodology (Garfinkle, 1975), and organizational subcultures (Douglas, 1992, 1986, 1982; Abegglen & Stalk, 1985; Ohnuki-Tierney, 1984; Teski, 1981; Blumers, 1969). More recent work on anthropological social exchange theory (Barth, 1981), on institutional and societal discipline (Herzfeld, 1992; Foucault, 1984, 1977), on the institution-client interface (Shield, 1988; Schwartzman, 1987, Ashworth, 1977, 1976, 1975), and on framing the client (Hazan, 1994; Denzin, 1992; Howard, 1991; Goffman, 1974). I also hope that this study makes a contribution to the study of health care and diversity in southern Alberta. Small city ethnic relations in Canada have been almost systematically ignored by researchers, and similar research has not been conducted in this part of Alberta. Local diversity is significant: three very large Indian reserves are nearby, and the city itself has a diverse ethnic, linguistic and ethno-religious population. Also, significant province wide restructuring of health care delivery was and is ongoing, offering both the pitfalls and potentials of quick institutional change. Perhaps some of the findings can contribute to making the future system more responsive to diversity than the present one.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to explore the perceived need among nurses from different cultures in a private hospital in Saudi Arabia for a program to teach cultural sensitivity. The hypotheses for this study were:  Diverse bio- and demographical/cultural/educational backgrounds of nursing staff have an input on their cultural knowledge and sensitivity of care given in the hospital  The amount of occurrence reports generated due to cultural differences and clashes indicate the need for a program to teach cultural sensitivity. A descriptive quantitative study was done, using a self administrative questionnaire on a randomly selected sample 15.8% (n=200) of the population (N=1272) of registered nurses. The data was collected by structured questionnaires with sections requiring the following:  Biographical information (age, gender, nationality)  Amount of experience in nursing of patients with diverse cultures  Nursing education received about caring for patients of diverse cultures  Cultures of colleagues and patients in the hospital  Whether incidents occur because of cultural differences  Amounts of incident reports generated by each respondent per month The study is descriptive and made use of non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis, Mann- Whitney U and Chi-square computations to determine relationships between the answers of the different respondents to be able to come to a conclusion about the research question. The study reflects a youthful component of nurses from very diverse cultures working in the hospital, with a large variety of patients of equally diverse cultures. Only 1:5 of the nurses felt that they have enough knowledge about each others’ and their patients’ cultures. Recommendations for the implementation of a program for cultural sensitivity are the end result of this study. The ultimate goal for such a program is culturally sensitive nursing where the patients would experience that their culture has been considered in the planning and implementation of their nursing care.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelwit van hierdie navorsing was om te bepaal of geregistreerde verpleegkundiges van verskillende kulture by ’n privaat hospitaal in Saudi Arabië die behoefte ervaar en herken vir die aanleer van kulturele sensitiwiteit. Die hipoteses van die navorsing was soos volg:  Diverse bio- en demografiese/kulturele/opvoedkundige agtergrond van verpleeglui sal hul kulturele kennis en dus kultuur sensitiewe verpleging in die hospitaal beinvloed.  Die aantal insidente wat voorkom oor kultuurverskille en botsings is ‘n aanduiding vir die nodigheid van ‘n program om kulturele sensitiwiteit aan te leer. ’n Beskrywende navorsingsontwerp met ‘n kwantitatiewe benadering is in die studie gevolg. ’n Vraelys wat deur die respondente self voltooi moes word, is ingevul deur die ewekansige verkose steekproef van 15.8% (n=200) van die bevolking van geregistreerde verpleegkundiges (N=1272).Die gestruktureerde vraelys het afdelings bevat wat die volgende inligting verlang het:  biografiese inligting (ouderdom, geslag, nasionaliteit),  hoeveelheid ondervinding van verpleging van ander kulture,  verpleegonderrig ontvang in die hantering van pasiёnte met diverse kulture,  kulture van kollegas en pasiёnte in die hospitaal,  of daar insidente voorkom weens kultuur verskille,  hoeveelheid insidentverslae wat elke deelnemer moet invul per maand. Die studie is beskrywend van aard en daar is gebruik gemaak van nie-parametriese Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U en Chi-kwadraat berekeninge om verhoudinge tussen die antwoorde van die verskillende respondente te bepaal en om tot ‘n gevolgtrekking te kom oor die navorsingsvraag. Die resultate van die navorsing toon dat daar ’n jonger komponent van geregistreerde verpleegkundiges van baie diverse kulture in die hospitaal werk met ‘n groot verskeidenheid van pasiente van ewe diverse kulture. Slegs 1:5 van die verpleegkundiges in die steekproef het gevoel dat hulle oor die nodige kennis beskik m.b.t. mekaar en hul pasiёnte se kulture. Aanbevelings vir die implementering van ’n program vir kulturele sensitiwiteit is die eindresultaat van hierdie navorsing. Die uiteindelike doel van so ‘n program is kultureel sensitiewe. verpleegsorg waar pasiёnte ervaar dat hul kultuur aangespreek word in die beplanning en implementering van sulke sorg

Abstract:
Nurse managers are stakeholders in creating a culture of nurse retention. The purpose of this staff education project was to identify evidence-based best practices that promote nurse retention and to educate nurse managers about these strategies. Knowles's theory of adult learning was the theoretical framework for the project. The practice-focused question addressed whether an education program for nurse managers would increase their understanding of evidence-based strategies to create a culture of nurse retention. The education program centered on 4 themes: professional development, communication and relationships, culture and work environment, and organizational structures and support. The concepts of 5 domains-- status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness (the SCARF model)--were used to educate nurse managers about the conceptual foundations of individuals' engagement within their environment. Education was delivered using a presentation software program with a follow-up question-and-answer session. A reference toolkit was included in the program. Twenty-seven nurse managers completed a 7-question post presentation survey to assess their level of understanding related to creating a culture of nurse retention; all reported excellent and good levels of understanding based on the program. The nurse manager toolkit and education program can assist nurse mangers in developing leadership strategies supporting nurse retention and positive social change in the culture of the organization.

Abstract:
Despite advances in health, science, and technology, U.S. healthcare lags in providing access to care and quality care to racial and ethnic minorities. Cultural competence has been noted as a strategy to improve access and quality. The purpose of this project was to assess public health nurses' cultural competence before and after participating in cultural competence informational modules. Two conceptual models were used in this project for theoretical guidance: Leininger's cultural care diversity and universality theory and Campinha-Bacote's process of cultural competence. To assess the nurses' cultural competence, the Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Checklist questionnaire was e-mailed to 57 public health nurses at a local health department. Survey participants remained anonymous. Data were collected on demographics. A paired t test was conducted to compare the statistical significance of the results. A quantitative software tool was used to analyze the data. Study results showed a confidence interval of 95% at p = 0.15, indicating that cultural competence informational modules made a significant difference between the pretest and the posttest of the Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Checklist. Thus, cultural competence informational modules make a difference in public health nurses' awareness, knowledge, and skills, which can enhance their ability to provide culturally competent care to racial and ethnic minorities. The implications of this project for social change include supporting health care professionals' ability to promote and implement cultural competence practices for all populations to decrease health disparities

Abstract:
Nurse practitioners (NPs) were introduced to the British Columbia healthcare system 12 years ago. Integration challenges related to infrastructure and relationships between administrators and physicians continue. The purpose of this project was to understand how nurse practitioners, working in primary care roles, experience the organizational climate within their healthcare agency. Kanter's empowerment theory guided this project. Data were collected using the Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Organizational Climate Questionnaire. A total of 64 NPs relayed their degree of perceived organizational support. NPs scored highest on Autonomy and Independent Practice (Mean [M] = 3.54, Standard Deviation [SD] = 0.59). Organizational Support and Resources and NP-Physician Relations were comparable (M = 3.00, SD = 0.86; M = 2.98; SD = 0.73). NPs scored lowest on Professional Visibility (M = 2.74, SD = 0.76) and NP-Administration Relations (M = 2.63, SD = 0.79). Recommendations included optimization of NPs as advance practice nurses, establishing adequate administrative and clinical support, provision for interprofessional team development and function, distribution of standardized information about the NP role across and within institutions, and further exploration of NPs' experiences related to work hours and agency culture. Positive social change was supported as the NP practice model was extended throughout the current health care system, contributing to the shifting health care narrative/culture (from illness-focused care to wellness-focused care), and demonstrating full appreciation of patient/client-centeredness.

Abstract:
Nurse shortages and nurse turnover are major issues in the health care industry. As 4 generations of nurses are working side by side for the first time in history in the health care industry, nurse leaders need to understand the generational differences in order to bridge the gap on retaining the nurses in the workforce. The primary focus of this applied dissertation study was to explore and obtain the lived experiences of leading the nursing intergenerational cohorts, as well as the strategies that nurse leaders or nurse managers can utilize to meritoriously attract, retain, and motivate the generational nursing workforce. The Leadership Questionnaire, designed in 2008 by Dr. Nelson, was utilized to interview 5 nurse administrators of the phenomenon to comprehend how the health care nurse administrators can utilize productive techniques of leading the nursing generational cohorts. The target population was members of a professional long-term care association. Once the nurse administrators agreed to participate on the study and signed the consent form, the researcher scheduled an initial 45-minute interview of three 15- to 30-minute interviews over a 3-month period. The data collected as a result of this study revealed findings: (a) the intergenerational educational gap in the nursing workforce, (b) the needs of the intergenerational nurses, (c) the critical aspect of continuing of professional education training development for the nurses, and (d) the critical leadership values on leading the intergenerational nursing cohorts. This applied research study dissertation intended to assist nurse leaders to reframe perceptions regarding the nurses’ intergenerational group (e.g., Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y) differences and to view these differences in attitudes and behaviors as potential strengths.

Resumo: A prática profissional do enfermeiro é definida como um sistema que o apóia no controle sobre o cuidado prestado ao paciente e sobre o ambiente no qual esse cuidado é oferecido. As principais características de ambientes de trabalho que favorecem essa prática profissional são a autonomia, o controle sobre o ambiente e a relação colaborativa entre médicos e enfermeiros. A presença desses atributos no ambiente de trabalho contribuem para obtenção de resultados positivos para os enfermeiros: maior satisfação profissional e menor nível de exaustão emocional - "burnout"; para os pacientes: menor taxa de mortalidade e maior nível de satisfação com os cuidados recebidos e para a instituição: menores taxas de absenteísmo e rotatividade. O "Nursing Work Index - Revised" (NWI - R), é um instrumento que foi desenvolvido para avaliar a presença desses atributos no ambiente de trabalho do enfermeiro, porém não está disponível na cultura brasileira. O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar a adaptação cultural do NWI - R e validação das suas subescalas, para a cultura brasileira. É um instrumento composto por 57 itens, dentre os quais 15 foram agrupados para derivar quatro subescalas: autonomia, controle sobre o ambiente, relações entre enfermeiros e médicos e suporte organizacional, que têm resultado em alta consistência interna. Para o procedimento metodológico de adaptação foram seguidas as etapas de: a) tradução; b) retrotradução; c) avaliação das equivalências semântica, idiomática, cultural e conceitual por um grupo de seis juízes que sugeriram alterações na maioria dos itens a fim de assegurar essas equivalências e d) pré-teste com 46 sujeitos. Participaram do estudo 278 enfermeiros de três instituições públicas. A validade das subescalas do NWI - R - Versão Brasileira foi avaliada por meio da validade relacionada com critério concorrente, em que as médias dos escores das subescalas foram comparadas com a variável satisfação com o trabalho e percepção da qualidade do cuidado oferecida ao paciente e correlacionadas com a variável intenção em deixar o emprego no próximo ano e pela validade de construto divergente, em que as médias dos itens das subescalas foram correlacionadas com as médias das subescalas do Inventário de "Burnout" de Maslach. Obtiveram-se correlações significantes tanto para a validade relacionada com critério como para a validade de construto. A confiabilidade foi avaliada por meio do coeficiente alfa de Cronbach e resultou em uma consistência interna satisfatória para os 57 itens do instrumento (a:0,95) e para as subescalas autonomia (a:0,63), controle sobre o ambiente (a:0,75), relações entre médicos e enfermeiros (a:0,75) e suporte organizacional (a:0,75). Conclui-se que o processo de adaptação do NWI - R foi realizado com sucesso e a validade e confiabilidade das subescalas foram consideradas satisfatórias, demonstrando a viabilidade da utilização das mesmas para o desenvolvimento de novas pesquisas, na cultura brasileira.
Abstract: The professional practice of a nurse is defined as a system that supports nurse controle over the delivery of nursing care and the environment in which care is delivered. The characteristics of work environment that enhance this professional practice are: autonomy, control over the work environment and relationships with physicians. The presence of these attributes in the work environment may break out positive results to nurses (higher nurse satisfaction and lower emotional exhaustion level - burnout); for patients (decreased mortality and higher patient satisfaction regarding received care) and for institutions (lower rate of absenteeism and turnover). The Nursing Work Index - Revised (NWI - R) was developed to measure these attributes of the nurse's work setting, however they are not available in brazilian culture. This study had the objective to do the cultural adaptation of the NWI - R and validate the subscales. The instrument contains 57 items and 15 were used to develop four subescales: autonomy, control over the work environment, relationships with physicians and organizational support, showing results of high internal consistence. For the methodological procedure of adaptation, the followed stages were: a) translation; b) back translation; c) the valuation of semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalences, which was made by a group of six judges who suggested alterations in most of the items in order to assure these the equivalences and d) pre-test with 46 persons. The sample was comprised of 278 nurses of three public institutions. The validity of the subescales NWI - R - Brazilian Version was evaluated by the validity regarding criterion, where the means of the subescales were correlated with the variables job satisfaction, perception of care quality offered to patients and the intention of leave the job in the following year and validity of divergent construct, where the subscales means were correlated with Inventory Burnout of Maslach subescales averages. Significant correlations were obtained, no only for validity regarding concurrent criterion but also for validity type construct. The reliability was evaluated by used the alpha coefficient of Cronbach showing results of satisfactory internal consistence for the 57 itens of the instrument items (a:0.95) and for the autonomy subscales (a:0.63), control over the work environment (a:0.75), relationships between physicians and nurses (a:0.75) and organizational support (a:0.75). The conclusion is that the NWI - R process of adaptation was accomplished with success and its validty and reliability of subescales were considered satisfactory , showing the viability of the instrument subescales use for the development of new researches in brazilian culture.

Abstract:
Cette etude des nursery rhymes anglaises a pour but de mettre en valeur leur contribution majeure au developpement linguistique, psychologique et culturel de l'enfant. L'introduction definit le corpus utilise, retrace brievement son historique, puis expose le deroulement de ces recherches. La premiere partie presente l'apport des nursery rhymes a l'eveil linguistique et cognitif de l'enfant. Elledemontre qu'une exposition precoce aux sonorites, rythme et alliterations des comptines est un facteur important dans le developpement de l'appreciation du langage musical, et de la comprehension du langage verbal. L'etude lexicale des nursery rhymes revele une vision rassurante du monde, que renforce l'utilisation de structures grammaticales et syntaxiques recurrentes, caracteristiques aussi du langage enfantin. L'analyse thematique montre que les nursery rhymes sont des vecteurs de transmission culturelle et met en lumiere les concepts sous-jacents de l'implicite et du non-dit, elements essentiels du processus de maturation de l'enfant. La deuxieme partie explore les autres contributions des comptines au developpement de l'enfant. Elle explique comment les nursery rhymes renforcent ses capacites a passer de la maitrise du langage oral a celle de l'ecrit, comment elles se font ouverture au nonsense, a l'imaginaire et a la poesie, et, par l'intermediaire d'une breve etude de l'illustration des nursery rhymes, comment elles contribuent a favoriser son eveil esthetique. La conclusion insiste sur la necessite de preserver les nursery rhymes, en tant que tradition orale mais aussi parle biais du livre illustre, et les definit comme un atout majeur dans le developpement de l'enfant.

Abstract:
There is a shortage of nurses to provide care in geriatric settings. About one-third of longterm care organizations have adopted a resident-first philosophy, also known as ?culture change,? to address quality of care and staff working conditions. Through a phenomenological interview approach with two unique samples, this study uses an inductive means to explore nurses? perceptions of a particular culture change philosophy known as the Eden Alternative. To better understand and explore the needs expressed by the nurses, the research uses Taylor?s Six- Segment Message Strategy Wheel as the analysis framework, since it identifies both the emotional/social and rational/logic elements that are used in making decisions. The Strategy Wheel framework allows exploration of participant perceptions to determine if culture change would be a useful message strategy to attract needed long-term care nurses.

Abstract:
In spite of decades of research, concerning nurse's intention to leave their employer (ITL), in 2011, 31.2% of the British nurses surveyed indicated they had formed an ITL. Grounded in reasoned action theory as developed by Ajzen and Fishbein, the purpose of the correlational study was to provide hospital managers with information regarding the relationship among nurse's job satisfaction (JS), organizational culture (OC), and ITL. The archival data from the 2011 NHS Staff Survey included responses from nurses (n = 21,257) across the British National Health Service. The Spearman's rho correlates rs (21,257) indicated relationships among nurse's job satisfaction, organizational culture, and ITL. Among nurse's considering leaving their employer, the findings were statistically significant (p < .01) with a large effect size (-.534) for JS and medium effect size (-.345) for OC. With the ITL benchmark of planning to leave in 12 months, the findings were significant (p < .01) with medium effect size (-.495) for JS and medium effect size (-.321) for OC. Among nurses who intended to leave as soon as they had another job the significant results (p < .01) had a large effect size for JS (-.525) and medium effect size (-.340) for OC. As nurses form ITL, they might participate in work avoidance behaviors such as increased absenteeism. The study findings and the instruments used in this study may identify areas for improvement as pathways to manage the costs associated with turnover and absenteeism. Furthermore, reducing turnover and absenteeism might contribute to social change. Reducing turnover and absenteeism might improve the quality of care provided to patients. Addressing the factors that might contribute to ITL may also improve the quality of life for nurses

A Cultura Organizacional (CO) determina diversas dimensões da instituição, desde o comportamento dos trabalhadores, dos gestores e da própria instituição, até as estratégias, objetivos, relações de trabalho, organização do trabalho e o método de gestão adotado. Está relacionado com inúmeras variáveis, como o prazer e sofrimento no trabalho, satisfação e motivação, saúde e qualidade de vida no trabalho. Neste contexto o estudo da CO é primordial, uma vez que esta exerce influência sobre diversos aspetos que vão desde o comportamento de seus profissionais e gestores até ao desempenho organizacional. O objetivo desta investigação é conhecer a perceção dos enfermeiros acerca da CO do hospital onde exercem as suas funções. É um estudo descritivo, analítico e transversal, com uma abordagem quantitativa, numa população representada por 45 enfermeiros de um Hospital Privado do norte do país. O instrumento de colheita de dados foi o questionário FOCUS (First Organizational Culture Unified Search), validado e adaptado à população portuguesa por Neves (2000). Os dados foram tratados recorrendo a estatística descritiva e apresentados sobre a forma de tabelas. Os resultados obtidos para além de caracterizar a população sociodemográfica, permitiu verificar que os enfermeiros têm mais perceção pela Cultura Regras e a Cultura Apoio, enquanto a Cultura Objetivos e a Cultura Inovação é a menos percecionada. Os resultados permitem-nos concluir a necessidade de uma maior atenção institucional para os domínios críticos (Cultura Inovação e Objetivos) objetivando-se a necessidade de implementação de medidas que contribuam para a satisfação, motivação, saúde e qualidade de vida dos enfermeiros no seu local de trabalho.
The Organizational Culture (OC) determines several dimensions of the institution, from the behavior of the workers, managers and the institution itself, to the strategies, objectives, work relationships, work organization and the management method adopted. It is related to numerous variables, such as pleasure and suffering at work; satisfaction and motivation; quality of life at work. In this context, the study of OC is essential, as it influences in several aspects such as the behavior of the professionals and managers to organizational performance. The objective of this investigation is to know the nurses perception about OC at the hospital where they perform their functions. It is a descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, in a population represented by 45 nurses from a Private Hospital in the north of the country. The data collection instrument was the FOCUS (First Organizational Culture Unified Search) questionnaire, validated and adapted to the Portuguese population by Neves (2000). Data were treated using descriptive statistics and presented in the form of tables. The results obtained, in addition to characterizing the sociodemographic population, allowed us to verify that nurses have a greater perception of the Rules Culture and the Support Culture, while the Objectives Culture and the Innovation Culture is the least perceived. The results allow us to conclude the need for greater institutional attention to the critical domains (Culture, Innovation and Objectives) and the institution should implement measures that contribute to nurses satisfaction, motivation, health and quality of life in their workplace.

Abstract:
Non-European Union nurses (overseas nurses), have filled nursing positions in the UK for some time in order to cover short-term staffing problems. It is essential that these overseas nurses are supported during the period of time they are assimilated into their new organisation and cultural environment. This is achieved through undergoing a period of supervision and education called an adaptation programme. These programmes prepare such nurses for working in hospitals in the UK ensuring a level of knowledge and skill equal to or greater than, a newly UK registered staff nurse. Research was undertaken as a single case study, in one Hospital Trust in England. The data was collected via individual and group interviews. Nurses from retrospective and prospective adaptation groups gave qualitative accounts of their experiences of the adaptation programme and their experiences of working in the UK as registered nurses. The findings of the research indicate that the experience of overseas nurses working in the UK completing their adaptation programme was often a challenge both for themselves and for their UK colleagues. The difficulties experienced by the nurses were categorised into six main themes. From these themes a model was developed which captures the findings of the research. It is argued that the model will be of benefit to any host organisation whatever the employment context, when developing programmes of support for overseas staff. Finally, suggestions for further research are briefly outlined.

The knowledge about the cultural and familiar view of accidents with burns in children allow to contribute the creation of strategies that value not only the cure of the sickness, yet conditions of prevention of new accidents with children, but also to promote conditions of dialogue between family and health professionals essential to humanization in Burn Specialized Centers. This study had as objective to understand as the beliefs, values and style of life of the families influence in the care of children victims of burns intern in a Burnt Treatment Center, in Fortaleza, CearÃ; and characterize families of burnt children intern from April to August of 2008. It is an ethnographic approach accomplish in a Hospital Institution of Urgency and Emergency, where there is a Burnt Treatment Center in the city of Fortaleza-Cearà from April to August of 2008, which has as key informers the families of burnt children. The whole collect and analysis process was based in ethnonursery proposed by Leininger (1991), to gather the data were made use of Observation-Participation-Reflection pattern (O.P.R.). In the data arrangement and analysis the Ethnonursery was the guide in the following stages: gathering information and documents; to cluster the storage data in the field day book; contextual or standard analysis and identification of main themes, discovery of research, theoretical formulations and warnings. From the ethnographic analysis sprout three cultural rules: 1) The child is very naughty, the families aim the curiosity of the children as the cause of the accident with burns, not knowing the stages of growing and development of the children, blame the infant for the burn. 2) She washed with water and brought to the hospital, the families think that to wash the burn with water is a way to render pleasant the pain of the burn and to forward the child to a hospital, to establish a way to offer a right care after the accident; 3) to watch more out for, it shows the significance to prevent other accidents with burns and to drive away children of the danger, as to take them away of the kitchen. It was perceived that mothers in spite of having their cultural knowledge, they learn a lot during the study, for as they have much uncertainty that day by day was enlightened and made them think about their behavior with their children. Therefore, we conclude that is essential the cultural approach of the professional to take care of children victims of burns and the Health Education must be available as strategies of welcome that consent the family and the child can feel safe
O conhecimento sobre a Ãtica cultural e familiar dos acidentes com queimaduras em crianÃas permite contribuir para a criaÃÃo de estratÃgias que valorizem nÃo apenas a cura da doenÃa, mas condiÃÃes de prevenÃÃo de novos acidentes com crianÃas, bem como promover o diÃlogo entre famÃlia e profissionais de saÃde essenciais para a humanizaÃÃo em Centros Especializados de Queimaduras. O presente estudo objetivou compreender como as crenÃas, valores e estilo de vida das famÃlias influenciam no cuidado de crianÃas vÃtimas de queimaduras internadas em um Centro de Tratamento de Queimados e caracterizar famÃlias de crianÃas queimadas internadas no perÃodo de abril a maio de 2008. à uma pesquisa etnogrÃfica realizada em uma InstituiÃÃo Hospitalar de UrgÃncia e EmergÃncia, na qual dispÃem de um Centro de Tratamento de Queimados em Fortaleza, CearÃ, no perÃodo de abril a agosto de 2008, que teve como informantes-chaves as famÃlias de crianÃas queimadas. Todo o processo de coleta e anÃlise foi embasado na Etnoenfermagem proposto por Leininger (1991), para a coleta de dados foi utilizado o modelo de ObservaÃÃo-participaÃÃo-reflexÃo (O.P.R.). Na ordenaÃÃo e anÃlise dos dados a Etnoenfermagem serviu como norteadora nas seguintes etapas: coleta de descritos e documentos; agrupar os dados armazenados no diÃrio de campo; anÃlise contextual ou padrÃo e identificaÃÃo de temas principais; descobertas de pesquisa; formulaÃÃes teÃricas e recomendaÃÃes. Das anÃlises etnogrÃficas surgiram trÃs domÃnios culturais: 1) A crianÃa à muito danada as famÃlias colocam a curiosidade das crianÃas como a causa do acidente com queimaduras, nÃo conhecendo as fases de crescimento e desenvolvimento dos filhos, culpam o infante pela queimadura; 2) Lavou com Ãgua e levou para o hospital as famÃlias consideram que lavar a queimadura m Ãgua à uma forma de amenizar a dor da queimadura e encaminhar o filho a uma instituiÃÃo hospitalar constitui uma forma de oferecer um cuidado correto apÃs o acidente; 3) Ter mais cuidado a importÃncia de prevenir outros acidentes com queimaduras e afastar as crianÃas dos fatores de risco, como: tirÃ-las da cozinha. Foi percebido que durante o estudo as mÃes, apesar de terem seus conhecimentos culturais, aprenderam muito, pois tinham muitas dÃvidas que gradativamente eram esclarecidas e faziam com que refletissem sobre seu comportamento com seus filhos. Portanto, considera-se imprescindÃvel a abordagem cultural do profissional para cuidar de crianÃas vÃtimas de queimaduras e que a EducaÃÃo em SaÃde deve ser utilizada como estratÃgia que permita que tanto a famÃlia, quanto a crianÃa possam se sentir segura

Abstract:
A dança e a música dos Cocos e Sambas de Caboclo, do Samba rural e das Cirandas e cantigas de roda, por suas características próprias de ludicidade e de significação cultural, são o território das experiências estéticas e saberes dos jogos rapsódicos. Esta pesquisa propõe uma pedagogia das artes cênicas através de uma educação corporal e musical que integra tais saberes e experiências da dança popular e da música nos processos de criação e aprendizagem do atuante. Deste modo, os jogos rapsódicos são brincadeiras cantadas, dançadas, tocadas e contadas que colocam em movimento as vozes poéticas e corporeidades do narrador e do brincante das nossas celebrações e práticas culturais, para complementar as teorias e métodos da pedagogia das artes cênicas ensinados no Brasil.
Dance and music of Coco and Caboclo\'s Samba, from rural Samba and from Cirandas, Northeastern Brazilian circle dances, for their own playful features and their cultural meaning, are territory for aesthetic experiments, and knowledge for the rhapsodic games. This research proposes performimg art pedagogy by means of body and musical education, which integrates such knowledge and experience of popular dance and music into the actor\'s processes of learning and creation. Thus, rhapsodic games are sung, danced, played and told games, which prompt the poetic voices and corporeity of narrators and players from our celebrations and cultural practices, in order to complement the theories and methods of the performing art pedagogy taught in Brazil.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Flera länder i världen har utvecklats till multikulturella samhällen. Detta innebär nya utmaningar för sjuksköterskor i vården eftersom de kommer att träffa på patienter som inte talar samma språk som sjuksköterskorna eller har samma kultur. Detta kan leda till språkbarriärer och kulturkrockar som sjuksköterskorna måste kunna övervinna.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen var att genom en litteraturstudie uppmärksamma sjuksköterskornas erfarenheter av att möta patienter med olika språk och kultur än sig själva och de risker och barriärer detta kan medföra i en vårdsituation.Metod: En litteraturstudie som är baserad på vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats som genomgick en kvalitetsgranskning och analys. Teman identifierades därefter.Resultat: Språkbarriärer, kommunikationssvårigheter, kulturskillnader, brist på kunskap inom tolkservice och kultur identifierades som utmaningar som kunde påverka sjuksköterskans arbete negativt.Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor är i behov av mer utbildning och kunskap om hur de ska gå tillväga vid vård av patienter som inte talar samma språk eller har samma kultur som sjuksköterskorna. Sjuksköterskorna borde erbjuda vård på ett professionellt sätt oberoende av patientens bakgrund eller dennes förmåga att kommunicera.
Background: Several countries in the world have developed into multicultural societies. This means new challenges for nurses in care because they will encounter patients who do not speak the same language as the nurse or share the same culture. This can lead to language barriers and cultural clashes that nurses must be able to overcome.Aim: The aim of this study was that through a literature review draw attention to nurses' experiences of meeting patients who don’t speak the same language as the nurses of the the same cultural beliefs, and the risks and barriers that these factors may cause in a care situation.Method: A literature study that is based on ten scientific articles with a qualitative approach that were analysed and reviewed. Themes were then identified.Results: Language barriers, communication difficulties, cultural differences, lack of knowledge of interpreter services and culture were identified as challenges that could affect the nurse's work negatively.Conclusion: nurses are in need of more education and knowledge about how to proceed in the care of patients who do not speak the same language or share the same culture as the nurses. The nurses should provide health care in a professional manner regardless of the patient's background or his ability to communicate.

Abstract:
This study explored the experience of shame in nursing using an interpretive phenomenological approach as described by van Manen (1997). Shame is a concept that has been extensively theorised within the social sciences as important in the development of individual identity, self esteem and role performance but overlooked in nursing. The purpose of this research was twofold; to gain an understanding of how shame influences and shapes nursing identity and to produce knowledge and stimulate dialogue about what that means for nursing culture. Participants were asked to discuss significant interactions with colleagues. Significantly, all disclosed the experience of shame. Further, four major themes emerged from this study to deepen understanding of what appears to be a cultural experience. The experience of shame involves: self appraisal, professional identity in conflict, the experience of isolation and recrimination. Within each theme a number of sub themes were identified including feeling dumb, being incompetent, withdrawing and going quiet and seeking revenge. The study concluded that in relation to nursing, internalised shame is not readily recognised although negative emotions that are linked to it are clearly felt. When these emotions are left unprocessed or unidentified as shame, then they are likely to have negative consequences. But recognising this hidden shame and bringing it to conscious awareness can express and perhaps relieve shame. Further, shame's adaptive functions, to provide moral direction and teach respect, could be acknowledged or reclaimed. It is argued therefore that acknowledging and discussing shame openly in nursing, such as through future research, scholarships and education, will facilitate consciousness raising and the potential for cultural change.

Abstract:

Within the health care system, patient safety outcomes have been criticized for many years. Medical malpractice, common errors, and nosocomial infections (i.e., hospital-acquired infections) are safety concerns, and represent a public health problem. Since the Institute of Medicine (1999) published To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System in 1999, changes have been made to improve the use of technology and leverage advancements in research that improve patient safety. Nurse leaders can also help to facilitate process improvements in the patient safety culture. The purpose of this capstone project was to explore the nursing leader role in improving patient safety in a hospital setting. The method utilized for this study was a literature review. Prominent articles identifying the role of nursing leadership were included. Seven drivers of patient safety were identified (Sammer, Lyken, Singh, Mains, & Lackan (2011), and subsequently informed this project. The targeted populations were patients, families, nurses, nurse administrators, and medical personnel. Findings regarding the nurse leader role, patient improvements, and barriers to improvements were reviewed. Nurse leaders were found to be of critical importance to patients, medical personnel, and the health care system. The limitations of this review and implications for policy and practice are discussed.
