Identificação do Curso 2º Ciclo em Comunicação e Jornalismo Data da defesa Classificação 2 Resumo Embora o Punk tenha surgido em finais da década de 70 como uma contra-cultura revolucionária que se opôs aos valores sociais vigentes da sociedade inglesa, rapidamente a indústria absorveu este movimento social. A atual aceitação social da prévia rebeldia Punk deu-se através da sua comercialização, onde foi possível ao mainstream suavizar os seus aspetos mais agressivos popularizando assim agrupamentos musicais do género. A vulgarização do Punk ocorreu deste modo através da incorporação comercial da sua música e estética. Neste relatório de estágio reflete-se sobre o papel e a influência da indústria no Punk. Através de uma análise ao festival Mighty Sounds, compreenderemos como a comercialização desta tribo urbana tornou este fenómeno facilmente reconhecido a nível mundial e qual o impacto da indústria nos movimentos do underground, desconhecidos pelo grande público, e que se encontram fora dos mediatismos comerciais e noticiosos. Palavras-chave: Mighty Sounds, Punk, Música, Festivais de Verão, República Checa, Praga 3 Abstract Although Punk has emerged in the late 70s as a revolutionary counter-culture that opposed the prevailing social values of English society, the industry quickly absorbed this social movement.

  • 2019 - 2021 EW Sparrow Hospital Community Health Needs Assessment
    2019 - 2021 EW Sparrow Hospital Community Health Needs Assessment Prepared by the Michigan Public Health Institute Acknowledgements Every three years the Community Health Needs Assessment focuses an essential light on issues of disparity for the underinsured, impoverished, and disadvantaged of the mid-Michigan region. This important work would not be possible without the collective efforts of the Healthy! Capital Counties collaborative. We are grateful to our partners at Ingham County Health Department, Barry-Eaton District Health Department, and Mid-Michigan District Health Department for engaging stakeholders throughout Clinton, Ingham, and Eaton Counties in the Community Health Improvement Process. Healthy! Capital Counties played an integral role in convening key representatives from a diverse group of organizations to prioritize the identified health needs of residents in the service area, across the entire socioeconomic spectrum. This report would not have been possible without their knowledge, experience, and ability to meaningfully connect with the people who live and work in this region. Their work is the basis for Sparrow Health System’s Community Health Needs Assessment report, which seeks to address the disparities within our local population regarding how healthy we are, what health conditions we suffer from, and the root causes of those health problems. This allows Sparrow Health System to create and implement strategies that advance our mission to provide quality, compassionate care to everyone, every time. We would also like to offer our sincere thanks to the many individuals who participated in the focus groups and key informant interviews conducted by the Michigan Public Health Institute. These individuals shared experiences from their personal and professional lives that allowed Sparrow Health System to delve even deeper into high priority health issues.
