Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar o prazer e o sofrimento vivenciados na percepção de servidores públicos federais que desenvolvem atividades em uma Editora e Gráfica de uma Instituição Pública Federal de Ensino Superior de Minas Gerais. Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem de caráter qualitativo. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de 10 entrevistas semiestruturadas com servidores que atuam na gráfica universitária da instituição pesquisada. Os resultados apontaram que os servidores pesquisados consideram o ritmo de trabalho adequado à realização das tarefas, as relações socioprofissionais são satisfatórias, tendo em vista que a distribuição de tarefas ocorre de forma harmoniosa. O custo físico foi considerado leve devido à natureza da função e o custo afetivo adequado. Com relação às vivências de prazer no trabalho, os entrevistados disseram estar satisfeitos e motivados, além de se sentirem gratificados por desenvolver um bom trabalho. No que diz respeito às vivências de sofrimento, os servidores se sentem inseguros no que se refere aos direitos e garantias assegurados ao servidor público, tendo em vista o cenário de mudanças vivenciado no país. Os entrevistados utilizam estratégias individuais para lidar com o sofrimento. No que tange aos danos físicos estes estão associados a lesões na coluna, obesidade e fadiga muscular. Quanto aos danos psicossociais, estes acontecem por meio de cobranças dos familiares por não concordarem com situações relacionadas ao trabalho, bem como pelo estresse vivenciado.Palavras-chave: Psicodinâmica do Trabalho.

A descriptive research was carried out, with a qualitative approach. The data collection was done through 10 semi-structured interviews with servers that work in the university graphic of the institution researched. The results pointed out that the servers studied consider the work rhythm adequate to perform the tasks, the socio-professional relations are satisfactory, considering that the distribution of tasks occurs in a harmonious way. The physical cost was considered light due to the nature of the function and the appropriate affective cost. With regard to the experiences of pleasure at work, respondents said they are satisfied and motivated, and feel gratified to develop a good job. Regarding the experiences of suffering, the servers feel insecure regarding the rights and guarantees guaranteed to the public servant, in view of the scenario of changes experienced in the country. Respondents use individual strategies to deal with suffering. With regard to physical damage these are associated with spinal injuries, obesity and muscle fatigue. As for psychosocial damages, these occur through the collection of relatives because they do not agree with situations related to work, as well as experienced stress.Keywords: Psychodynamics of Work.

Economic growth and technological development are closely related. In this article, the   process of technology transfer developed by the UFMG (a new sole cushioning system for a footwear industry in Nova Serrana city, in Minas Gerais State) is analyzed, using a case study. The data were collected from UFMG document research and through semi-structured interviews with the principal stakeholders. The process of technology transfer from the university to Crômic was a great learning process for both institutions. It led to a better relationship between the UFMG and the productive sector, opening up opportunities for new agreements and products. The study identified some aspects that need to be improved, such as simplification of procedures, bureaucracy reduction and regulation of the Brazilian Innovation Law within the departments of the university. The case study shows how much better cooperation between university and industry can contribute to the innovation process and improve competitiveness and the development of our country in these times of economic crisis.

This paper analyzes the advances and limitations of citizen engagement in government planning implemented in the State of Minas Gerais by the Regional Government Forums (FRGs) between 2015 and 2017. Specifically, we examine the institutional arrangements through a political capacity according to Gomide and Pires (2014). The case study was adopted as a research methodology. In the data collection, we used documentary survey, observation in forums events and semi-structured interviews. As far as political capacity is concerned, we can see the predominance of public servants, followed by representatives of social movements, with low participation of business organizations in the analyzed territory. It is concluded that the FRGs break with the previous technocratic logic, based on the parameters of the new public management.

Accurate pronunciation has a vital role in English language learning as it can help learners to avoid misunderstanding in communication. However, EFL learners in many contexts, especially at the University of Phan Thiet, still encounter many difficulties in pronouncing English correctly. Therefore, this study endeavors to explore English-majored students’ perceptions towards the role of pronunciation in English language learning and examine their pronunciation practicing strategies (PPS). It involved 155 English-majored students at the University of Phan Thiet who answered closed-ended questionnaires and 18 English-majored students who participated in semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students strongly believed in the important role of pronunciation in English language learning; however, they sometimes employed PPS for their pronunciation improvement. Furthermore, the results showed that participants tended to use naturalistic practicing strategies and formal practicing strategies with sounds, but they overlooked strategies such as asking for help and cooperating with peers. Such findings could contribute further to the understanding of how students perceive the role of pronunciation and their PPS use in the research’s context and other similar ones.

<p>Disponibilidade de água e energia elétrica representa condição fundamental ao desenvolvimento econômico e social de qualquer país, sobretudo naqueles em que há dependência entre aqueles elementos e prevalece a hidroeletricidade, como no caso do Brasil. Associado ao aquecimento global, as práticas de uso irracional dos recursos hídricos tem provocado eventos de escassez e crises de desabastecimento jamais vistos. Neste contexto, faz-se necessário conscientizar a população quanto a importância do uso sustentável da água e da energia elétrica a fim de se garantir segurança no abastecimento e mudanças de hábitos que promovam o uso racional daqueles recursos. O ambiente escolar representa espaço propício a reflexão e implementação de tais propostas, sendo este o escopo do presente trabalho. Percebeu-se o interesse dos discentes quanto a temática assim como a necessidade de se aprofundar a discussão dentro das unidades escolares, onde certamente seus frequentadores atuarão como agentes multiplicadores junto aos familiares, vizinhos e comunidade em geral. Foram avaliadas as diferentes percepções dos estudantes dos anos finais dos ensino fundamental e anos finais do ensino médio de uma escola pública de Divinópolis MG, a partir deste diagnóstico desenvolvido um sítio na web que permite a replicação da proposta a qualquer unidade escolar de ensino fundamental ou médio interessada no tema.</p>

In the past few decades, digital technology has found a place in the acquisition, arrangement, description, preservation, and dissemination of information. However, heritage institutions are perturbed by the challenges of digital preservation strategies particularly for education. Despite continuous investment in digital preservation, there are limited skilled professionals to equip learners with the knowledge, skills and competencies required to drive digital preservation in Botswana. Therefore, this paper investigated the knowledge, skills and competencies related to digital preservation in the teaching curricula of the Department of Library and Information Studies (DLIS) at the University of Botswana. Data collection was done through intensive structured interviews with specific educators who teach courses on digital preservation in the archives and records management stream. The study revealed that despite the fact that the educators in preservation courses are aware of current trends in digital preservation, most of them have not obtained formal degree certification specific to digital preservation. The findings further revealed that minimal digital preservation competencies are observed in the teaching curricula. A significant number of challenges observed illustrated mainly a lack of resources and limited skills in terms of practical demonstrations by educators. The curricula mostly lacked clarity on long-term and short-term digital preservation. The study recommends that DLIS and other institutions should conduct surveys or curriculum auditing on digital preservation in order to improve the teaching content. A significant number of shortcomings regarding digital preservation that could motivate further studies are also discussed under the conclusion and recommendations section of this study.

Social Constructivist Learning

In recent years, providing higher education in the form of work-based learning has become more important in the higher education (HE) policy and practice almost in all EU countries. Work-based learning (WBL) in HE should support the development of competences of self-guided learners and adjust the university education better to the needs of the workplace. The study is based on two pilot projects of WBL in HE in Estonia: Tourism and Restaurant Management professional HE programme and the master’s programme in Business Information Technology. The model of integrative pedagogy, based on the social-constructivist learning theory, is taken as a theoretical foundation for the study. A qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with the target groups. The data analysis used a horizontal analysis to find cross-cutting themes and identify patterns of actions and connections. It appears, that the challenge for HE is to create better cooperation among stakeholders; the challenge for workplaces is connected with better involvement of students; the challenge for students is to take more initiative and responsibility in communication with workplaces.

In this paper, the author examines public service as depicted in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BtVS). First, she shows how slaying meets the economist’s definition of a public good, using the BtVS episode “Flooded” (6.04). Second, she discusses public service motivation (PSM) to determine whether or not Buffy, a public servant, operates from a public service ethic. Relying on established measures and evidence from shooting scripts and episode transcripts, the author concludes Buffy is a public servant motivated by a public service ethic. In this way, BtVS informs scholarship on public service by broadening the concept of PSM beyond the public sector; prompting one to wonder whether it is located in a sector, an occupation, or in the individual. These conclusions allow the author to situate Buffy alongside other idealized public servants in American popular culture.
