Psychological preparation is one of the pillars on which the overall preparation of the athlete is based; This must start from the individual or group psychological diagnosis and incorporate the work of the trainer. The attention, in the case of the Rhythmic Gymnastics, demands a high concentration, being one of the essential aspects to reach the maximum level in the different dimensions that constitute the performance (quality of execution, technical level and artistic level).The present investigation has as precedent studies of this author on psychological analysis in the gymnasts, supported by the scientific project "Psychological Attention to the School Sportsman" of the Center of Psychology Studies of the Physical Activity and Sports and has as objective to make a diagnosis on the concentration of attention in the Havana gymnasts and the treatment received by the coaches. To this end, research methods such as document analysis, surveys, interviews and observations were used to obtain information from different sources. The main results of the study revealed insufficiencies that in this sense appear in the gymnasts, caused by different internal and external distracters, and the need for training and overcoming of the trainers to contribute to the improvement of this psychological process.

The constant changes of the requirements in the Code of Points of the last Olympic cycles, demand today more than ever of an adequate planning and control of the process of sports preparation of the gymnasts. The control of the intensity of the training of competitive exercises during the special preparation or microcycles of transformation, is an aspect that is hindered by the non-definition of indicators to be taken into account in the rhythmic gymnastics related to the characteristics of the load (external and internal) and the results to be achieved by the gymnasts. The present investigation is derived from an institutional scientific project that has been developing for four years. The objective of this study is to determine the regularities of the behavior of intensity indicators during the practical application of the methodology for the control in the gymnasts of the School of Sports Initiation (EIDE) in Pinar del Río. The application of several scientific methods were very useful: theoretical, empirical and mathematical-statistical, emphasizing the observation, measurement and calculation of average and percentage. The methodology was applied to the five gymnasts of the joint exercise. These take an average of three years in the youth category. The results were analyzed in methodological workshops by a group of trainers with experience in sports. From here an analysis was made for the restructuring of the planning of the set during the preparation, taking into account the individual results of the measured indicators.

The correct corporal posture is an important aspect for the health and the quality of children’s life since the early years and it is included as part of the hygiene thematic axis in the Health Principal Program which is developed in our schools. Taking into account the existence of the problematic situation in the Elementary Education, the authors of this investigation elaborated and validated an up-grading strategic for the primary teachers of the school “Isidoro Garcia” from Las Minas de Matahambres municipality, gaining outstanding results after applying the corresponding methods such as the observation, the survey and a Somatoscopical test. Besides, other samples of groups were included in the investigation, like the family, supervisors and principals.

Resumo: A Grounded Theory (GT) é uma metodologia que, a partir das experiências vivenciadas por atores sociais, e através de processos de codificação e comparação constante, permite o desenvolvimento de teoria. Este ensaio teórico, de natureza descritivo-reflexiva, elaborada durante a investigação acerca da Promoção e Preservação da Dignidade no Contexto de Cuidados em Lares de Idosos, realizada no contexto do Doutoramento em Enfermagem da Universidade de Lisboa, tem o objetivo de apresentar a revisão narrativa e metodológica sobre as origens e evolução da GT, desde a influência fundamental do interacionismo simbólico, do pragmatismo e da Escola de Chicago salientando o momento diacritico na trajetória dos seus autores originais, Barney Glaser e Anselm Strauss, pautado por ideias distintas sobre o processo de recolha e análise de dados e sobre a postura do pesquisador perante o contexto e a própria investigação, que marcará a evolução da metodologia até à atualidade.Palavras-chave: Investigação qualitativa; Grounded Theory; Interacionismo Simbólico. Socio-philosophical roots and evolution of Grounded TheoryAbstract: The Grounded Theory (GT) is a methodology that, from the experiences lived by social actors, and through processes of codification and constant comparison, allows the development of theory. This theoretical essay, of a descriptive-reflexive nature, elaborated during the investigation about the Promotion and Preservation of Dignity in the context of Care in Nursing Homes, carried out in the context of the PhD in Nursing of the University of Lisbon, has the purpose of presenting the narrative and methodological revision on the origins and evolution of the GT, from the fundamental influence of symbolic interactionism, pragmatism and the Chicago School emphasizing the diacritical moment in the trajectory of its original authors, Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss, based on distinct ideas about the process of data collection and analysis and on the researcher's posture before the context and the research, that will mark the evolution of the methodology to date.Keywords: Qualitative research; Grounded Theory; Symbolic Interactionism. 

Resumo: Analisam-se neste texto as estratégias discursivas mobilizadas para a (re)construção social de lugares e identidades tendo em vista os fins da promoção e consumo turístico enogastronómico. Foi elaborada uma análise qualitativa de conteúdo de base indutiva, alinhada com os pressupostos da grounded-theory e inspirada pelos princípios da análise de narrativas visuais e storytelling à obra Comer em Évora: os restaurantes e as suas receitas, do fotógrafo português J. H. Coelho (2014). A ênfase na história, tradição, autenticidade e personalização, seja pela via familiar, seja pela figura do chef e cozinha de autor, são as estratégias discursivas que ora reforçam o estereótipo cultural da tradicional cozinha alentejana; ora afirmam uma cozinha diferente, criativa, inovadora e exótica.Palavras-chave: Consumo; Escrita Enogastronómica; Estudos de Turismo; Métodos Visuais; Turismo Enogastronómico. The mise-en-scène of “eating in évora”: narrative, visuality and storytelling on food and wine consumptionAbstract: This text analyses the discursive strategies used in the social (re)construction of places and identities aiming the promotion and consumption, from a food and wine tourism perspective. Empirically, it draws on a qualitative analysis, carried out from an inductive perspective, in line with the assumptions of grounded-theory and inspired by visual and storytelling narratives over the book “Comer em Évora: the restaurants and its recipes”, authored by the Portuguese photographer J. H. Coelho (2014). The emphasis on history, tradition, authenticity and personalization, either by the family life or the figure of the chef and author cuisine, constitute the discursive strategies used to reinforce both the cultural stereotype on the traditional Alentejo cuisine and a different, creative, innovative and exotic cuisine.Keywords: Consumption; Food Writing; Tourism Studies, Visual Methods; Food and Wine Tourism.
