Parenting styles and psychopatology: the importance of grandparents
No full textBackground: Controversy exists regarding the role played by parent-children relationships for children’s behavioral and psychosocial
development. Crucial for some authors, others consider parenting styles as part of a more complex system. Less adaptive parenting
styles are generally associated with childrenwhohave lower involvement at school and may contribute for psychopathology
emergence.
Objectives: To investigate the contribution of parenting styles for the explanation of child psychopathology.
Hypothesis: Parenting styles (H1) and parents’ childhood memories regarding parenting styles (H2) do contribute significantly for
the explanation of statistical variance of children’s psychopathology.
Method: Participants: 110 children (67 boys, 43 girls) aged 7-11 years (M = 9.22, SD = 1.14) from schools in Portugal as well as 83 fathers
and 86 mothers; Instruments: For parenting styles, the Portuguese version of EMBU memories of upbringing (for parents regarding
their own parents), EMBU-P (for parents) and EMBU-C (for children) were used. To assess children’s psychopathology the Portuguese
version of CBCL was used.
Results: According to linear regressions, individual and family factors do contribute significantly for the explanation of all CBCL’s
indexes. EMBU-C regarding mothers’ parenting styles only explains the Hyperactivity/Attention index. EMBU-P explains most of
CBCL’s indexes. Mothers’ and Fathers’ EMBU Memories of Upbringing explains the overall CBCL’s indexes.
Conclusions: The explanation of children’s psychopathology by parenting styles is not restricted to parents’ representations regarding
their own parenting styles nor to children’s perceptions regarding parenting styles but extends to memories of parents regarding
parenting styles used by theirownparents. The ability of EMBUMemoriesof Upbringing to explain children’s psychopathology
seems to exceed the EMBU-P’s and EMBU-C’s capacity.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
La quête de l’historicité
No full textNous nous intéressons, dans un premier temps, aux modes de construction sociale de la mémoire dans quelques favelas (sorte de bidonvilles) à Rio de Janeiro, au Brésil. Nous proposons comme mode explicatif que les formes de déni de l’histoire sociale constituent un processus défensif visant à éloigner ou étouffer la souffrance d’origine sociale. Nous abordons également la question des projets qu’un groupe social peut élaborer en insistant sur certains types d’imaginaire qui les animent. Dans un deuxième temps, nous présentons le cas d’une favela à Rio de Janeiro. À partir d’une recherche-intervention réalisée avec la collaboration des habitants, nous expliquons le projet, les mesures mises de l’avant en vue de favoriser la construction intellectuelle et affective du groupe. Cette redécouverte de l’histoire collective est essentielle au développement d’une communauté.This article first discusses the modes of the social construction of memory in certain favellas (shanty towns) of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It argues that forms of denial of social history constitute a defensive process by which the pain of social origin is silenced or chased away. This article also discusses the kinds of projects a social group can have by examining the types of imaginary which animate them. Secondly, this article studies one particular favella in Rio de Janeiro. On the basis of an action-research project conducted with the collaboration of its inhabitants, the author explains the project and the stages of the group's intellectual and affective construction. Such a rediscovery of collective history is essential to a community's development.Este artículo aborda, en un primer momento, los modos de construcción social de la memoria en algunas favelas (barrios pobres marginales) en Río de Janeiro, Brasil. Se propone a modo de explicación que las formas de negación de la historia social constituyen un proceso defensivo que tiene por objeto alejar o callar el sufrimiento de origen social. Este texto trata igualmente de los proyectos que un grupo social puede tener e insiste sobre ciertos tipos de imaginario que los animan. En una segunda instancia, la atención ha sido dirigida hacia una favela en particular de Río de Janeiro. A partir de una investigación-acción realizada con la colaboración de sus habitantes, la autora explica el proyecto y las medidas puestas en práctica para favorecer la construcción intelectual y afectiva del grupo. Este redescubrimiento de la historia colectiva es esencial para el desarrollo de una comunidad
Potencial de utilização dos resíduos de borracha de pneus pela indústria da construção civil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Civil.A reciclagem de resíduos industriais é hoje uma necessidade para a preservação do meio ambiente, redução do custo e consumo de energia na produção de materiais e componentes de construção. No Brasil, são descartados mais de 35 milhões de pneus anualmente e existe cerca de 100 milhões de pneus abandonados no meio ambiente. A grande quantidade produzida anualmente somada aos estoques de pneus inservíveis causam sérios problemas ambientais, sociais e econômicos; tecnologias para sua reciclagem estão sendo desenvolvidas e precisam ser melhor difundidas e, finalmente, é preciso que se esclareça, cada vez mais, a boa qualidade dos materiais confeccionados a partir da reciclagem dos pneus, de forma a ampliar a aceitação deste produto por construtores e consumidores. Estão reunidos aqui dados sobre a geração de pneus inservíveis e seus conseqüentes problemas gerados, pesquisas sobre o tema, artigos publicados por pesquisadores, bibliografias, sites na Internet, nomes e endereços de pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros que trabalham com o tema. Este trabalho tem por objetivo fazer uma análise da geração dos pneus inservíveis e dos processos existentes para seu processamento e aproveitamento pela indústria da construção civil, como forma de identificar o potencial de absorção dos pneus inservíveis pela construção civil tendo em vista os processos de transformação e beneficiamento existentes, como também as aplicações reais de valorização dos pneus na indústria da construção
CRIL. Under the light of the sun also the sounds shine: Photography, a mode of inhabiting the world
No full textThis project has its origin in an article for the first number of the magazine Passagens and itwas redone1 for my Master Thesis, presented at the Faculty of Architecture of Palermo in 2013.One intends here to question photography as a way to inhabit the world, where the watching ofphotography is a keeping and a taking care of. Photography here is understood as a vehicle of theimages of the world and in a certain sense as a construction of a real, as other representations cando it, but with the peculiarity of being, among other signs, content in the semiotic theory of Peirce.This content, as among others refer Roland Barthes2 and Rosalind Krauss3, is demonstration ofthe veracity of the photographic images whose origin was in a “reality”. The connection betweenthe chosen reality and my watching coincides on the photographic surface, that is: the referencetransfers to the watching of the author or the spectator. To inhabit is like a question which thatreference puts in a condition of otherness, welcomes, attempting at an answer.The spaces, the objects of these photographs, are found along the CRIL (the internal ring roadof Lisbon), which, together with the river Tagus, form a circle around the city. This is an urbanpath that connects in a little time the architectures and the urbanisations I photographed,through roundabouts, exits exclusively for all kinds of motor vehicles: private, public and heavytransports. The automobile is in fact the only way to be, temporarily and in a relative movement,in that urban space. To watch this route inside the compartment is like being seated in anarmchair watching a road movie, of which we can decide even the speed of the frames, thebeginning and the end of the sequences, as well as the soundtrack. But never stop or leave the“sequence plan” other than by the exits especially designed for that effect
Leveraging a marketing approach to improve awareness of a not-for-profit organization : portuguese Association of Physical Therapists case
No full textWith this dissertation the author tries to leverage marketing strategies in order to create a communication plan suitable for not-for-profit organizations. Particularly, the Portuguese Association of Physical Therapists (PAPT) case was studied. Nowadays, it is crucial to understand what members expect from the Association with whom they have a relation.
In the past years, the concerns of several Associations regarding the raise of new members have been increasing. Nonetheless, several factors have contributed to the declining of their revenues. The financial situation has been unfavourable for members to pay the fees their Association demands. However, frequently, associates do not realize the work their Associations develop and they infer that the payment of fees is not reflected in the gains supposedly expectable. Thus, it seems crucial to understand how to communicate with members and how to convey the correct message.
With these concerns in mind, this dissertation was carried out in order to change this paradigm. To understand the needs, characteristics and motivations of members of PAPT it was created a survey from which intended to withdraw valid and relevant information. With this data, along with other information taken from the PAPT documents, it was possible to elaborate a specific communication plan for the PAPT.
It is also important to state that although this study is focused in the PAPT, it is easily adaptable to other associations that share the same values.Com esta dissertação pretende-se potenciar estratégias de marketing com o intuito de elaborar um plano de comunicação adequado a Associações sem fins lucrativos. Em particular, estudou-se o caso da Associação Portuguesa de Fisioterapeutas (APF). Actualmente, é crucial perceber o que os associados pretendem da relação com a Associação à qual pertencem.
As preocupações de diversas Associações em aumentar o número dos seus associados têm crescido nos últimos anos. Contudo, vários factores têm contribuido para uma cada vez menor receita destas Associações. O clima financeiro tem sido pouco propício para que os associados mantenham o pagamento das quotas referentes à sua Associação. Porém, frequentemente, os associados não se apercebem do trabalho desenvolvido pelas suas Associações e concluem que o investimento feito no pagamento das quotas não é reflectido nos benefícios que supostamente daí advêm. Deste modo, é crucial saber comunicar com os associados e transmitir as mensagens correctas.
Com estas preocupações em mente, esta dissertação foi levada a cabo com o intuito de alterar este paradigma. Para perceber as necessidades, características e motivações dos associados da APF foi criado um inquérito do qual se pretendeu retirar informação válida e pertinente. Com estes dados, juntamente com outra informação retirada de documentos da APF, foi possível elaborar um plano de comunicação específico para esta Associação.
É ainda importante referir que embora este estudo seja pensado para a APF, é facilmente adaptável a outras Associações que partilhem os mesmos valores
Estilos parentais, dificuldades de leitura e psicopatologia infantil
No full textTese de doutoramento, Psicologia (Psicologia Clínica), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Psicologia, 2015Introduction: Children with reading disabilities present high levels of psychopathology (Kempe, Gustafson & Samuelsson, 2011). Several authors believe in a relationship between parental styles and psychopathology (Amato, 1994; Perris, 1994), namely in children with reading disabilities (Al-Aygon, 2007) as well as in the importance of home environment upon literacy (Harmer & Alexander, 1978). Aim: To analyze the role of parenting styles in reading disabilities and in the incidence of psychopathology. Hypotheses: Parenting styles play an important role in children’s reading disabilities; childhood memories about parenting styles play an important role in reading/writing disabilities; parental styles and childhood memories about parenting styles play an important role in the incidence of psychopathology among children; the incidence of child psychopathology among reading disable children can be explained by the connection between parenting styles and reading disabilities. Method: 110 children (67M, 43F), aged between 7-11 years (M = 9.22, SD = 1.14) completed CPM (Raven, Raven & Court, 1947; Simões, 1995), EMBU-C (Castro, Toro, Arrindell & Van der Ende, 1993; Canavarro & Pereira, 2007a) and PROLEC-R (Cuetos, Rodriguez & Arribas, 2009; Figueira & Lopes, in press); 86 parents completed a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, EMBU-MI (Perris et al., 1980; Canavarro, 1999), EMBU-P (Castro et al., 1993; Canavarro & Pereira, 2007b) and CBCL (Achenbach, 1991; Fonseca et al., 1994). Results: Parenting styles do explain statistical variance of higher reading processes. Parenting styles and parents’ childhood memories concerning parenting styles revealed capacity to explain children’s psychopathology. The model composed by individual factors, family factors, parenting styles and reading disabilities showed an explanatory power about psychopathology. Conclusions: Parenting styles play an important role in higher reading processes as well as in the expression of psychopathology, namely among children with reading disabilities

A utilização da tecnologia da informação no transporte de cargas fracionadas: estudo de caso em uma empresa do segmento
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-graduação em Engenharia Civil, Florianópolis, 2009O transporte é uma das principais atividades da cadeia de suprimentos, e tem importância nos tempos atuais, pela sua relevância segundo o conceito do mix de marketing e por representar a maior atividade da distribuição física. Tradicionalmente, a logística concentrou seus esforços no fluxo físico do processo, ao passo que o fluxo de informações por muitos anos não teve a atenção que merecia. Nos dias atuais, é impossível pensar em transportes sem a agregação de valor da tecnologia da informação, que se tornou uma área vital para o sucesso do negócio. Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de identificar as tecnologias de informação que podem ser empregadas na atividade do transporte de cargas fracionadas e como a utilização destas tecnologias contribuiu para o aumento da competitividade e produtividade das empresas do segmento. Serão abordadas no presente trabalho as tecnologias de EDI, Comunicações, Rádio Freqüência, Código de Barras e RFID. É importante ressaltar, que estas são algumas tecnologias, e não todas as disponíveis no amplo mercado de TI (tecnologia da informação) e que as tecnologias não são responsáveis isoladamente pelos resultados empresariais, pois o sucesso de um negócio é a soma de vários fatores de gestão. O estudo de caso demonstra os resultados positivos e evidencia a real magnitude da tecnologia da informação no "core business" das empresas de transportes de cargas, pois possibilitou à empresa pesquisada ganhos de produtividade, agilidade, precisão, segurança, rastreabilidade e respostas aos clientes que seriam impossíveis sem o uso da tecnologia, além do acompanhamento de todas as etapas das operações da empresa.Transport is one of the main activities of the chain of supplies, and it has great importance currently, for its relevance according to the concept of marketing mix and for representing the largest activity of the physical distribution. Traditionally, logistics concentrated their efforts in the physical flow of the process, while the flow of information for many years had no attention that deserved. Nowadays it is impossible to think in transports without to add values of technology of the information that became an important area for success of the business. This essay aims to demonstrate the technologies of information that can be used in activity than-truckload transportation and the use of technologies has contributed to increased competitiveness and productivity of enterprises in the sector. Will be addressed in this work the EDI technology, communications, Radio Frequency, Bars code and RFID. Importantly, these are some technologies, not all available in the wide market of IT (Information Technology) and these technologies are not alone responsible for business results, because the success is the sum of several factors management. The study of the case demonstrates the positive results and demonstrates the real magnitude of information technology in the "core business" of transport companies to load, since it allowed the company to contribute to productivity gains, speed, accuracy, reliability, traceability and responses to customers would be impossible without the use of technology, and monitoring of all stages of business operations
Reading Processes and Parenting Styles
No full textHome literacy environment explains between 12 and 18.5% of the variance of
children’s language skills. Although most authors agree that children whose parents encourage
them to read tend to develop better and earlier reading skills, some authors consider that
the impact of family environment in reading skills is overvalued. Probably, other variables of
parent–child relationship, like parenting styles, might be relevant for this field. Nevertheless,
no previous studies on the effect of parenting styles in literacy have been found. To analyze
the role of parenting styles in the reading processes of children. Children’s perceptions of
parenting styles contribute significantly to the explanation of statistical variance of children’s
reading processes. 110 children (67 boys and 43 girls), aged between 7 and 11 years (M=9.22
and SD = 1.14) from Portuguese schools answered to a socio-demographic questionnaire.
To assess reading processes it was administered the Portuguese adaptation (Figueira et al. in
press) of Bateria de Avaliação dos Processos Leitores-Revista (PROLEC-R). To assess the
parenting styles Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran-parents (EMBU-P) and EMBU-C
(children version) were administered. According to multiple hierarchical linear regressions,
individual factors contribute to explain all reading tests of PROLEC-R, while family factors
contribute to explain most of these tests. Regarding parenting styles, results evidence the
explanatory power about grammatical structures, sentence comprehension and listening. Parenting
styles have an important role in the explanation of higher reading processes (syntactic
and semantic) but not in lexical processes, focused by main theories concerning dyslexia
