Resumo: Ao longo das últimas décadas, os etnosaberes de culturas tradicionais têm sido objeto de inúmeros estudos em distintos campos científicos. Com frequência, os estudos realizados buscam levantar e analisar dados e informações a respeito dos múltiplos usos da biodiversidade, compreender as formas de classificação, domesticação e manipulação da fauna e da flora, assim como interpretar a complexa relação homem-natureza em suas diferentes dimensões, escalas espaço-temporais e significações culturais. Neste sentido, examinamos no presente artigo os etnosaberes relacionados aos usos de plantas, animais e insetos em práticas terapêuticas, mágico-ritualísticas e simbólico-culturais de comunidades quilombolas do Vale do Jequitinhonha mineiro. Para consecução desse objetivo, recorremos ao uso de uma metodologia essencialmente qualitativa, operacionalizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com agricultores e agricultoras quilombolas, caminhadas transversais e observações diretas nos quintais agroflorestais de seus estabelecimentos produtivos, além de registros iconográficos (fotografias e croquis) destes espaços e de seus cultivos. Por meio deste estudo, constatamos que os etnosaberes constituem uma importante expressão cultural da relação homem-natureza, das experiências espaço-temporais, interações sociais, costumes e cosmovisões dos membros das comunidades quilombolas, contribuindo para a manutenção dos processos de reprodução material e simbólico-cultural de suas famílias e coletividades e para a preservação da espaço-temporalidade da cultura afro-brasileira no Vale do Jequitinhonha mineiro.Palavras-chave: Saberes Tradicionais.

Such studies often intend to take and analyse data pertaining to; the many uses of biodiversity, understanding the forms of classification and techniques of domestication and manipulation of fauna and flora, as well as, to interpret the complex relationship between man and nature in its different dimensions, spatio-temporal scales and cultural significances. Conforming to this tradition we examine in the following article ethno-biological knowledge related to the uses of plants, animals and insects in the therapeutical, magical and culturally-symbolic practises of the Quilombola communities of the Jequitinhonha Valley in Minas Gerais. To achieve our objective we relied upon the use of an essentially qualitative methodology carried out by means of semi-structured interviews with farmers and Quilombola farmers, cross-country hikes and direct observations from agro-florestal field cultivations, also documenting in the form of iconographic records (photographs and sketches) these spaces and their crops. Through this study we show that ethno-biological knowledge constitutes an important cultural expression of the relationship between man and nature, spatio-temporal experiences, social interactions, customs and worldviews of the members of Quilombola communities. This knowledge contributes to the maintenance of the processes of material and symbolic-cultural production of these families and collectives and thus aids in the preservation of the living afro-brazilian culture within the Jequitinhonha Valley of Minas Gerais.Keywords: Traditional knowledge.

Souvent, les études menées visent à collecter et analyser des données et des informations sur les multiples usages de la biodiversité ; à comprendre les formes de classification, de domestication et de manipulation de la faune et de la flore ; ainsi qu’à interpréter la relation complexe entre l’homme et la nature dans ses différentes dimensions, échelles spatio-temporelles et significations culturelles. Dans ce sens, nous examinons dans cet article les ethno-savoirs liés aux utilisations des plantes, des animaux et des insectes dans les pratiques thérapeutiques, magiques, rituelles, symboliques culturelles des communautés quilombolas dans la Vallée du Jequitinhonha, état de Minas Gerais, Brésil. Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous avons eu recours à une méthodologie essentiellement qualitative, opérationnalisée à partir d’entretiens semi-structurés avec des agriculteurs et agricultrices quilombolas, des randonnées et des observations directes dans les systèmes agroforestiers dans les jardins de leurs exploitations agricoles, en plus des enregistrements iconographiques (photographies et croquis) de ces espaces et de leurs cultures agricoles. À travers cette étude, nous avons constaté que les ethno-savoirs constituent une expression culturelle importante de la relation homme-nature, des expériences spatio-temporelles, des interactions sociales, des coutumes et des visions du monde des membres des communautés quilombolas, contribuant au maintien des processus de reproduction matérielle et symbolique de leurs familles et communautés et à la préservation de l’espace-temporalité de la culture afro-brésilienne dans la Valée du Jequitinhonha.Mots-clé: Savoirs traditionnels.

Abstract This paper aims to analyze the inclusive and democratic effects of municipal cultural incentives law in Cataguases, Minas Gerais, fundamentally considering the promotion of citizenship and identity preservation based on cultural production. Data were collected through non-structured interviews with Cataguases cultural producers and analyzed according to a Marxist notion of discourse. Our findings revealed that approved purposes lead to a form of centralization on cultural production at the local level, characterized by the concentration of resources on established groups and the detachment from historically marginalized groups. Moreover, this scenario is aggravated when complementary cultural actions are transferred to the city’s cultural foundations, reinforcing the distinctive character of culture.

Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes, views and solution proposals of family physicians (FPs) about primary healthcare problems of Syrian refugee patients. This study would be the very first study for Turkey that evaluates the attitudes, views and solution proposals of FPs about primary healthcare problems of Syrian refugee patients. Background: Following the anti-regime demonstrations that started in March 2011, the developments in Syria created one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world and the largest number of asylum seekers continue to be hosted in Turkey. There are some studies evaluating asylum seekers’ access to healthcare services in Europe, and the common result is that refugees have free access to primary healthcare services in most countries; however, they face many obstacles when accessing primary healthcare services. While there are studies in the literature evaluating the situation of access to primary healthcare services from the perspective of asylum seekers; there are few studies evaluating the opinions/views of FPs. Methods: A qualitative methodology informed by the grounded theory was used to guide the research. A total of 20 FPs were interviewed face to face through semi-structured interviews, using 12 questions about their lived experience and views caring of refugee population. Interviews were analysed thematically. Finding: The following themes were revealed: Benefiting from Primary Health Care Services, Benefiting from Rights, Differences Between the Approach/Attitudes of Turkish Citizens and Refugees, Barriers to Healthcare Delivery, Training Needs of Physicians, Solution proposals. FPs reported that there is a need for support in primary care and a need for training them and refugees in this regard and they specified refugee healthcare centres are the best healthcare centres for refugees; however, the number of these and provided services should be increased.

Abstract Local knowledge of biodiversity has been applied in support of research focused on utilizing and management of natural resources and promotion of conservation. Among these resources, Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Cambess.) is important as a source of income and food for communities living in the Cerrado biome. In Pontinha, a “quilombola” community, which is located in the central region of State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, an ethnoecological study about Pequi was conducted to support initiatives for generating income for this community. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and crossing. The most relevant uses of Pequi were family food (97%), soap production (67%), oil production (37%), medical treatments (17%), and trade (3%). Bees were the floral visitors with the highest Salience Index (S=0.639). Among frugivores that feed on unfallen fruits, birds showed a higher Salience (S=0.359) and among frugivores who use fallen fruits insects were the most important (S=0.574). Borers (folivorous caterpillars) that attack trunks and roots were the most common pests cited. According to the respondents, young individuals of Pequi are the most affected by fire due to their smaller size and thinner bark. Recognition of the cultural and ecological importance of Pequi has mobilized the community, which has shown interest in incorporating this species as an alternative source of income.

Background/aims Healthcare professionals play an important role in vocational rehabilitation for people receiving welfare support. The research questions for this study were: how do qualified healthcare professionals operate in UK welfare-to-work settings? What factors influence healthcare professionals' practice within a UK welfare-to-work setting? Methods A qualitative methodology was adopted. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted and additional documents (the awarded Work and Health Programme bids and job descriptions) about the healthcare professionals' roles were reviewed. Inductive thematic analysis was undertaken. Results Five themes were generated from the interview data: supporting frontline staff to understand clients' health needs; moving clients with complex needs closer to work; getting it right for the client by individualising support; gaining consent and maintaining confidentiality; and seeking and organising clinical supervision. These themes were corroborated with the document data. Conclusions Healthcare professionals have a key role within welfare-to-work provision. Further research is needed to determine if the proposed healthcare professional roles have come to fruition, to identify their prevalence, and to explore their effectiveness.

Purpose This study aims to focus on newcomers’ learning strategies when they perceive organizational socialization support to be lacking, and on interpersonal characteristics that insiders should possess to support the newcomers’ proactive behaviors in this context. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through 14 face-to-face, in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed with a conventional content analysis method (Paillé and Mucchielli, 2013), involving first a thematic analysis and afterward, a conceptual analysis using MaxQDA11©. Findings The authors’ analysis highlights that when newcomers perceive the formal organizational socialization support as lacking, they regulate their proactive behaviors by seeking indirect guidance, and more precisely, by engaging in informal interactions with insiders likely to help them socialize. These interactions can have a cost in terms of self-image, so newcomers regulate their proactive behaviors by looking for insiders perceived to be psychologically safe, even if they have to look for them in other working contexts. Practical implications Considering the regulation process of newcomers’ proactive behaviors according to their perceptions, human resources management should focus on those perceptions and develop a blended learning approach including formal learning programs, as well as individualized support to facilitate on-the-job learning and respond to personal needs. Special consideration should also be given to interpersonal skills displayed by insiders. Originality/value The originality of the study is the use of a qualitative methodology focusing on newcomers’ main learning strategy according to their perception of organizational socialization support and the psychological safety climate. The limitations of the authors’ work are the size of the study population and the fact that part of the interviewees were successfully socialized by reaching 15 months on their new post at the point where the interviews were conducted.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to gain a better understanding of the challenges to the emergence of a learning organization (LO) posed by a context of generational diversity and an enterprise social networking system (ESNS). Design/methodology/approach This study uses a qualitative methodology based on an analysis of 20 semi-structured interviews in a high-tech organization and internal company documents relating to the introduction of a new, centralized ESNS. Findings This study uncovers fundamental differences between Generation X and Y employees regarding their ESNS adoption and use. While Xers take more time to adopt the new centralized ESNS introduced into the company, their use seems in line with the company culture and corporate norms of behavior. At the same time, even if Yers are faster ESNS adopters, they use it as they use Facebook disregarding the hierarchy and organizational boundaries. This creates tensions between Generation X and Y and undermines the formation of the LO. Research limitations/implications As conclusions are specific to a context of a single organization, the authors recommend other case studies, to enrich the findings. Originality/value By highlighting how the use of social networks modifies who has the power and the control over knowledge in an organization, this paper enriches the theory on the LO. It has implications for managers wishing to design LOs in the context of intergenerational diversity.

The Impact

The constraints imposed by the pandemic COVID-19 increased the risks of the disruption of supply chains, bringing new challenges to companies. These effects were felt more intensely in less-developed countries, which are highly dependent on imports of products and raw materials. This study aims to assess the impact of supply chain resilience in a less-developed country (Guinea-Bissau) using complex adaptive system theory. We used a qualitative methodology through multiple case studies. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four companies. The semi-structured script contains questions about supply chain disruptions, vulnerabilities and resilience. The main results show that the companies in Guinea-Bissau, due to their dependence on the outside world and the absence of formal, larger and more diversified supply chains, suffered serious consequences with the disruption imposed by the pandemic. It was also concluded that the more resilient the supply chain, the fewer the impacts of crisis events and that the resilience of companies at this level depends on their obtaining competitive advantages over their competitors. The main practical implications of this study are the need to formalize the supply chain, diversify the supply of services and products of companies dependent on the exterior, adopt metrics that allow for the early detection of situations of supply chain disruption, effectively manage stocks and promote proactive crisis resolution strategies. Studies on the impact of resilience on supply chains in crises are scarce, especially on companies located in underdeveloped countries.
