Повний текст джерелаWater is one of the most important resources. However, the global water deficit was estimated to reach about 40% by 2030. Climate change, changing lifestyles, and population growth increase the supply and demand gap further. As a consequence, more and more regions experience water scarcity. In that context, reduced household water demand due to enhanced water conservation could alleviate the problem or, at least, reduce the pressure on water resources. Thus, this thesis aims to contribute to a better understanding of the socio-demographic and psychological determinants of water conservation behavior. Based on three distinct datasets from Germany and Jordan, the manifold facets of water conservation and its determinants were examined. From a conceptual perspective, the relationship between water conservation and environmental attitude, a latent construct representing cooperative, prosocial, and even moral tendencies, were investigated. Furthermore, water conservation in Germany was used as a proxy for moral behavior. In that respect, environmental attitude and the personality factor Honesty-Humility were compared in order to determine, which factor constitutes the better predictor of moral behavior. Using original data from Jordan, a comprehensive impact evaluation of a water conservation awareness campaign revealed detailed information on its actual effects. Another analysis focused on a wide variety of water conservation determinants in Jordan. The results indicate that water conservation does not differ with respect to age, education, and income, but rather with different levels of environmental attitude. This thesis provides valuable information for researchers and policy makers alike. The detailed examination of various water conservation determinants offer a great potential for an improved management of household water demand.

Повний текст джерелаacademic performance (average grade) and their adjustment to university (measured by the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire). Participants included 164 third year Psychology students from the University of the Western Cape. Results indicate statistically significant relationships between various demographic and resilience variables
between various demographic and outcome variables
and between various resilience and outcome variables. Resilience variables were also found to play a role in the relationship between demographic and outcome variables, as various resilience variables emerged as significant predictors of outcome variables, or as having either direct, moderating, mediating or indirect effects on the relationship between demographic and outcome variables. Research suggesting the health-sustaining and stress-reducing (buffering) roles of resilience constructs, as well resilience constructs as influencing the perceptions of adverse conditions or stressors is therefore supported by these findings. Limitations of the study were also discussed, as well as recommendations for future research put forward.

Повний текст джерелаNa última década a luta contra o tráfico de seres humanos tem vindo a receber uma crescente atenção por parte de diferentes entidades no mundo inteiro. No entanto, e não obstante a multiplicidade de esforços que têm vindo a ser colocados em prática nos últimos anos para combater este fenómeno, a realidade é que, surpreendentemente, muito pouco ainda se sabe acerca daqueles que o praticam. Assim, tendo como objetivos globais dar resposta a esta necessidade de investigação e possibilitar uma melhor compreensão desta realidade em Portugal, este projeto visa apresentar uma proposta de investigação empírica para a identificação das características e padrões sociodemográficos, psicológicos, motivacionais e comportamentais dos traficantes de seres humanos condenados pela prática deste crime em Portugal. Este seria, portanto, um estudo exploratório, de natureza essencialmente qualitativa, conduzido quer através da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas a uma amostra de indivíduos que se encontrem a cumprir pena de prisão pela prática de todas, e quaisquer formas de tráfico abrangidas pela legislação portuguesa, quer por intermédio da aplicação da técnica de análise documental a processos judiciais sobre os casos de tráfico condenados a nível nacional. Independentemente dos desafios ou obstáculos que possam surgir face a uma futura implementação desta proposta, espera-se um dia poder avançar com uma pesquisa desta natureza em Portugal, acreditando-se que a criação de dados empíricos nesta área poderá constituir uma ferramenta imprescindível na luta contra, aquele que poderá ser considerado, um dos piores crimes que a humanidade é capaz de cometer contra si própria.
Over the last decade the fight against trafficking in human beings has been receiving increased attention from different entities worldwide. Nonetheless, and regardless the multiplicity of efforts that have been put in place during the past years to combat this phenomenon, the reality is that, surprisingly, still very little is known about those who practice it. Thus, with the overall goals of addressing this research gap and enable a better understanding of this reality in Portugal, this project aims to present an empirical research proposal for the identification of the socio-demographic, psychological, motivational and behavioural characteristics and patterns of the human traffickers convicted of the practice of this crime in Portugal. This would be, therefore, an exploratory study, of an essentially qualitative nature, conducted through either the use of semi structured interviews to a sample of individuals serving prison sentences for all, and any forms of trafficking covered by the Portuguese law, as well as through the application of the document analysis technique to the court records of trafficking cases convicted at the national level. Despiste the challenges or barriers that may arise in a future implementation of this proposal, it is hoped one day to move forward with a study of this nature in Portugal, believing that the creation of empirical data in this field may constitute a vital tool in the fight against, one of those that may be considered, the worst crimes that humanity is able to commit against itself.

O principal objectivo do presente estudo consiste em tentar perceber em que medida algumas variáveis sociodemográficas, se relacionam com a Qualidade de Vida dos Idosos (QdV), bem como o seu Bem-Estar Psicológico (BEP), na medida em que alguns estudos têm evidenciado resultados opostos, quanto à existência de relações e diferenças estatisticamente significativas, quando se consideram variáveis sociodemográficas. Houve interesse também em analisar a relação entre estes dois construtos. Participaram 125 idosos, com idades compreendidas entre os 65 e os 92 anos (M=76,29 ; DP=7,54), na sua maioria a residir na comunidade e a frequentar Centros de Dia. Foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: uma ficha de recolha de dados sociodemográficos, o Health Organization. Quality of Life Instrument- Bref (WHOQOLBREF) e a Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGCMS).

The investigation about the conditions that allow a good Quality of Life (QoL) in old age, such as the variety in wich the ageing process with olds, reveals a great cientific and and social importance. Trying to respond to the apparent contradiction that exist between old age and well-being, or even the association between old age and illness would contribute to the understanding of the ageing process and its limits in the humam development. The main goal of this study consists in trying to comprehend to what extent some socio-demographic variables relate with the QoL of elders, such as their Psychological Well-Being, in the way studies some studies have demonstrated contradictory results, concerning the existence of statistically significant correlations and differences when taking into account the socio-demographic variables. There was also interest in analyzing the relation between the two matters. A hundred and twenty five elders participated in the study, within the ages between 65 and 92 years old (M= 76,29; SD= 7, 54), the majority live in the community and attend Day Care Centers. The following instrument were used: a socio-demographic data base was collected, the Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument- Bref (WHOQOL-BREF) e a Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGCMS). The main results demonstrated significant correlations between QoL and Psychological Well-Being.

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction: The use/consumption of psychoactive substances is considered a complex phenomenon, which has biological, psychological and social origins and consequences. Objectives: Describing, analyzing and comparing socio-demographic, psychological and clinical characteristics presented by a population having a Substance Use Disorder. Casuistic and Method: A convenience sample comprising 50 adult male patients who took part in the present study were seen in a Psychosocial Attention Center Alcohol and Drugs (CAPSad) based in a medium-sized city located in São Paulo State countryside. An Identification Form containing personal and socio-demographic features, as well as a Semi-directed Interview Script, were used for people with alcohol and/or drug-related problems. Data were analyzed by means of non-parametric statistic evidences and qualitative analysis of frequency and percentage of answer category having the same semantic meaning. Results: The study group mostly comprised an adult (28-37 and 48-58 years old), negroid (62%), not engaged (72%), evangelic (44%), unemployed (59,18%) population born in areas around the target city (44,68%), with 5 to 8 years of study (42%) and a monthly family income of 3-5 minimum salaries (47,73%). 68% of these patients had been under treatment for at most a month, especially the youngest interviewed ones (18-37 years old). There has been balance between the participants directed to CAPSad and the ones who have searched for help on their own. Some of the main reasons for this search were: willingness to quit consuming, psychological and emotional problems, as well as chemical addiction. 43,18% of the patient sample were abused (esp. physically) in childhood and/or adolescence, and 74% reported having family problems involving alcohol and/or others drugs. Psychoactive substances use was a contributing factor to damages in the quality of relationship with family of origin, spouse and children. Participants reported significant changes and social repertoire and part of leisure activities was associated to the very use of substances or related activities. 76,60% declared having friends who made use of alcohol and/or other drugs. Alcohol (98%), nicotine (84%), cocaine (72%) and cannabis (72%) derivates, inhalants (48%), hallucinogens (22%) and psychotropic medicine (12%) were the most commonly consumed drugs in a lifetime found among patients. Marijuana, cocaine and crack were statistically associated to research youngest population. 64% started using substances in adolescence, mainly due to friendship, party attendance and curiosity and 38% of these youngsters already made continuous use of them in this very life stage. 66% indicated ‗group, friendship circle, friends as usage partners, 72,92% declared uninterrupted use of drugs for some days and 86% of them reported having had periods without any drug contact. The main factors encountered to relapse were loneliness, family distance, belief of being able to drink with no negative consequences, as well as of feeling fine, use willingness and pleasure and individual psychological characteristics. The most common treatments for problems with alcohol and/or other drugs were CAPSad, Hospitalization, Emergency Room, ―Alcoólicos Anônimos‖, ―Narcóticos Anônimos‖, ―Amor Exigente‖ and religion. Participants reported psychological (96%), physical (90%) and cognitive (71,92%) damages related to substance use. Conclusions: It has been observed that a great percentage of the total number of adult participants in the present study presented significant damages related to alcohol and other drugs abuse/dependence, compromising all individual s functioning areas. Although the results are not conclusive to predicting factors in childhood to drug use, considering sample characteristics varied from worse to better socioeconomics and life conditions. In adolescence, individuals with significant damages, changes and sufferings, in touch with user friends and presenting common features for abuse maintenance were predominant. We may conclude that efficient health promoting and prevention programs and more effective treatments and rehabilitation programs must take into consideration users population heterogeneity.
Introdução: Considera-se o uso de substâncias psicoativas um fenômeno complexo, com origens e consequências biológicas, psicológicas e sociais. Objetivos: Descrever, analisar e comparar características sociodemográficas, psicossociais e clínicas apresentadas por uma população com Transtornos por Uso de Substâncias. Casuística e Método: Participou da pesquisa uma amostra de conveniência com 50 pacientes adultos, sexo masculino, atendida no Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas (CAPSad) de uma cidade de médio porte do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Foram utilizados: Ficha de Identificação, contendo características pessoais e sociodemográficas e Roteiro de Entrevista Semidirigida para pessoas com problemas relacionados ao álcool e/ou outras drogas. Os dados foram analisados por meio de provas da estatística não paramétrica e por análise qualitativa a partir de frequências e porcentagens de categorias de respostas com mesma semântica de enunciados. Resultados: Pode-se destacar uma população adulta (28-37 e 48-58 anos), negróide (62%), sem companheiro(a) (72%), com 5 a 8 anos de estudos (42%), evangélica (44%), natural da região administrativa da cidade alvo do estudo (44,68%), com renda mensal familiar de 3 a 5 salários mínimos (47,73%) e desempregada (59,18%). 68% estavam em tratamento no período de ‗até um mês , principalmente os entrevistados mais jovens da pesquisa (18-37 anos). Houve equilíbrio entre participantes que foram encaminhados ao CAPSad e os que buscaram ajuda por conta própria, sendo os principais motivos: cessar o consumo, problemas psicológicos, emocionais e dependência química. 43,18% sofreram abusos (principalmente físicos) na infância e/ou na adolescência e 74% relataram possuir familiares com problemas de álcool e/ou outras drogas. Uso de substâncias psicoativas foi um fator contribuinte para prejuízos na qualidade dos relacionamentos com família de origem, cônjuge e filhos. Os participantes referiram significativa mudança e redução do repertório social e parte das fontes de lazer esteve relacionada ao próprio uso de substâncias ou atividades afins. 76,60% relataram possuir amigos que faziam uso de álcool e/ou outras drogas. Álcool (98%), nicotina (84%), derivados de coca (72%) e de canabinóides (72%), inalantes (48%), alucinógenos (22%), medicamentos psicotrópicos (12%) foram os tipos de drogas mais consumidas durante a vida. Maconha, cocaína e crack foram associadas estatisticamente à população mais jovem da pesquisa. 64% iniciaram o uso de substâncias na adolescência, sendo os principais motivos amizades, frequência em festas e curiosidade e 38% já faziam uso contínuo nessa mesma fase da vida. 66% relataram ‗turma, amigos, colegas como companheiros de uso, 72,92% uso ininterrupto de drogas por alguns dias e 86%, períodos sem o consumo. Principais fatores relacionados à recaída foram solidão, distância dos familiares, impressão de poder beber sem consequências negativas ou de estar bem, vontade e prazer no uso e características psicológicas próprias dos entrevistados. Tratamentos mais utilizados para problemas com álcool e/ou outras drogas foram CAPSad, Internação, Pronto Socorro, Alcoólicos Anônimos, Narcóticos Anônimos, Amor exigente e Religioso. 96% dos participantes relataram prejuízos psicológicos, 90% físicos, e 71,92% cognitivos, relacionados ao consumo de substâncias. Conclusões: Na vida adulta foram evidenciados, para quase a totalidade dos participantes do presente estudo, significativos prejuízos relacionados ao abuso/dependência de álcool e/ou outras drogas, em todas as áreas de funcionamento dos indivíduos. Embora os resultados não permitem evidenciar fatores considerados como preditores na infância para o início do uso de substâncias, uma vez que características da amostra foram variadas entre piores e melhores condições socioeconômicas e de vida, para a adolescência, houve predomínio de sujeitos com prejuízos relevantes, mudanças e sofrimentos, em contato com amigos usuários, demonstrando características comuns para a manutenção do abuso. Há a necessidade de programas eficazes de promoção e prevenção de saúde, tratamentos e reabilitações mais efetivos que levem em consideração a heterogeneidade da população usuária.

Повний текст джерелаWhile there is extensive research on retinitis pigmentosa (RP) focusing on biological and hereditary aspects of the disease, little research regarding psychological adjustment has been conducted. These few studies suggest that people with RP adapt differently to vision impairment. This study investigated whether those with RP adapt differently to vision loss/impairment than those with other vision disorders. Telephone interviews of those with RP, diabetic retinopathy (DR), and albinism were conducted. Demographic information was gathered and psychological wellbeing was assessed using the Visual Function-14, Centre of Epidemiology Studies Depression-10 symptoms index, Impact of Vision Impairment Profile, Brief COPE, and Adaptation to Vision Loss Scale. In Experiment I it was found that individuals with RP did not differ from those with other diagnoses on any of the measures of psychological wellbeing and adaptation. Rather, demographic factors, visual factors such as declining and fluctuating vision, and pattern of vision loss, were better correlates of adaptation to and psychological wellbeing associated with vision loss/impairment. In Experiment II there was no difference found between those with RP and other diagnoses on any of the measures. Rather, factors such as perceived visual ability, self-identity, fear of social stigma and level of dependence were more closely related to adaptation to and psychological wellbeing associated with vision loss/impairment. The results of this study suggest that individuals with RP do not differ from those with other vision disorders in their adaptation to and psychological wellbeing associated with vision loss/impairment, but that other demographic, visual and psychological factors are more important.

It is widely acknowledged in recent years that global warming has caused abnormal and extreme weather worldwide. The CO2emission per capita in Taiwan is 11.31 metric tons in 2011, which ranks #21 in the world (IEA, 2012). Taiwanese household electricity usage per capita ranks #32 in the world, far more than other developed nations, such as United Kingdom and Germany (UN,2005). Taiwanese government has thus focused on reducing electricity consumption as a means to cut carbon emission. For many household electricity consumption studies, the target variables which signifying energy consumption can be divided into two broad groups: energy saving intentions and actual electricity consumption. The information used for the later include is the amount of electricity consumed by the whole household every two months and/or the bi-monthly electricity bill. However, such an overarching data can only reveal limited amount of details concerning power usage throughout time. In this study, the real-time consumption data for one of most common brown goods, TV, is used. Such data is collected by the “Green Energy Management System for Cloud Intelligence” (In-Snergy) (provided by Taiwan Institute for Information Industry). Four psychological determinants are selected, namely environmental attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and personal norm. The first three determinants are the major constructs from Theory of Planned Behavior, which is one of the theories often used to discuss pro-environmental behavior. Environmental attitude is defined as the degree a person would determine the behavior as favorable or unfavorable depending on the its cost, effort and time, and potential benefits; whereas subjective norm refers to an individual’s perception of social pressure to perform a behavior or not and her motivations to comply with such social pressures. Perceived behavioral control refers to a person awareness of the degree of difficulty to complete a certain behavior. The last determinant, personal norm, is adopted from the Norm Activation Model and it is defined as an individual’s internalized moral which reflects the perceived level of self-approval and responsibility when engaging in a behavior. The research data were collected in the period from January 2013 to January 2014. Twenty one sets of In-Snergy tools were installed to households located in the greater Taipei area. Due to the limited number of tool sets, each set was installed in a household for the minimum of two to three weeks before it was installed to other households. The sample size in total is 65 households. The data analysis methods include descriptive analysis, principle component analysis, and the linear regression. The results showed that: (1) intention to reduce electricity consumption is significantly influenced by the psychological variables (subjective norm); (2) television consumption behavior is not significantly affected by demographic variables; (3) whether the appliance is in a state of need or not would determine how the television consumption behavior is affected by the psychological variables.

Повний текст джерелаBackground: Worldwide, more people die annually from cardiovascular diseases than from any other cause. Evidence seems to support that these conditions account for nearly 30% of all deaths worldwide, with more than 10 million of deaths occurring among people aged less than 70 years old. Low and middle income countries are the most affected by these conditions, with proportions of more than 80% of cardiovascular diseases deaths occurring in these countries. Although reducing major risk factors such as tobacco use, obesity, hypertension and lifestyle are key steps toward an effective prevention of these man-made diseases, it is also highly recommended to document demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with these deaths. However, considerable uncertainties regarding the epidemiology of CVDs persist in the African continent. Aims: This study aims to investigate the demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with cardiovascular diseases mortality in South Africa from 2006 – 2011. Secondly, the study wanted to document geographic variations of CVDs deaths across South Africa. Methods: Using repeated cross-sectional data from the vital registration system in South Africa, we investigated demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with CVDs deaths in South Africa, using simple logistic regression model, Cox proportional hazard model and Cox frailty, accounting for a random effect at district level. The hazard ratios of the Cox shared frailty model were mapped to show geographical variation across the nine provinces. Results: 3,454,868 deaths were registered at the Department of Home Affairs from 2006 – 2011. Of these deaths, about 500,633 were attributable to CVDs. The final sample contained 598,013 deaths for which relevant data were available. Gender, age, race, education, tobacco use were associated with CVDs death. Males had 6% reduced risk for dying from CVDs (HR: 0.94; 95% C.I: 0.92 – 0.95). The risk for CVDs mortality increased with education level, confirming lifestyle effect among those with tertiary education (HR: 2.19; 95% C.I: 2.11 – 2.28). Smokers had 31% increased risk (HR: 1.31, 95% C.I: 1.29 – 1.33) for dying from CVDs. Most important significant geographic variations were displayed regarding CVDs mortality, with people who lived in Free State and Kwazulu Natal having the highest risk for dying from CVDs (HR: 1.17; 95% C.I: 1.05 – 1.30 and 1.19; 95% C.I: 1.07 – 1.31 respectively) compared to those who lived in Northern Cape. Conclusion: The results of this study highlight important socioeconomic and demographic differentials regarding CVDs mortality and provide supporting arguments for significant geographical variations of CVDs mortality at provincial level.
