Authors: Khalil Kanwal Fatima , Yasmeen Rahila
Published: December 2017

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background: Medical students collaborate with one another, during problem based learning sessions and clerkships. Teamwork has three components; input, process and outcome. Team Objectively Structured Bed side Assessment (TOSBA) is a tool used in clerkships to assess the outcome of team work. Team dynamics have not been previously elaborated. In the present study team dynamics will be explored using examiner observations in TOSBA as a reference. Aim: To explore the teamwork dynamics in settings of TOSBA among final year medical students during their clerkship rotation to medical wards, taking examiner observations of TOSBA as a reference. Methods: A qualitative study using focus groups and purposive sampling. Perceived team dynamics among these students were compared to the observed dynamics by examiners in the earlier settings of TOSBA. Results: Three themes; factors positively affecting the negatively influencing the team dynamics and suggestions to improve team dynamics were generated. Team dynamics were negatively influenced by social loafing and Belbin role as a shaper or team's worker. Role of mutual trust and pre-tasking to enhance team dynamics needs exploration. Conclusion: Many factors affect the team dynamics during TOSBA. Social loafing, mutual respect and pre-tasking are new themes that require further elaboration.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Many myths and legends have had a deep influence on modern language, and on modern medical vernacular. The terms “syrinx” and “panic”are two of the most characteristic examples and their use in neurology and other specialties is well known. This article reviews the history of these words in Greek mythology and their use in modern medicine. It is known by very few that clinical symptoms or conditions, such as syringomyelia and panic attacks, have a mythological origin in their definition and naming.

ABSTRACT Nontraumatic convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage is an increasingly recognized subtype of subarachnoid bleeding. Objective: Our aim was to describe the etiology and clinical features of a cohort of patients with convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all cases of convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted to our hospital between January 2012 and April 2017. Demographic features, clinical characteristics, complementary investigations, etiology and mortality were assessed. Twenty patients (65% females) were identified. Mean age: 53 years (range, 15-86 years). Results: Symptoms on admission: headache (65%), sensory and/or motor symptoms (50%) and seizures (35%). Commonest causes: cerebral vein thrombosis (20%), reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (20%) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (20%). Two patients died. Conclusion: Convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage may be related to a wide spectrum of etiologies. In our patients, an increased prevalence of cerebral vein thrombosis was observed. Mortality was low and not related to the bleeding itself.

RESUMO Objetivo: refletir acerca das contribuições e limites da Socioclínica Institucional como aporte teórico metodológico em pesquisas em enfermagem e em saúde. Método: estudo de reflexão desenvolvido a partir do delineamento das modalidades de condução da abordagem Socioclínica Institucional: intervenção socioanalítica, análise institucional das práticas profissionais, pesquisa-ação e investigação socioanalítica. Resultado: a Socioclínica Institucional é uma continuidade do aporte teórico metodológico da Socioanálise Louraudiana, corrente da análise institucional, linha francesa. Propõe oito princípios norteadores: análise da encomenda e demanda; participação dos sujeitos no dispositivo; trabalho dos analisadores; análise das transformações que ocorrem à medida que o trabalho avança; aplicação de modalidades de restituição; trabalho das implicações primárias e secundárias; intenção de produção de conhecimentos e atenção aos contextos; e interferências institucionais. As contribuições estão relacionadas com a lógica de transformar para conhecer, produção coletiva do conhecimento e troca de saberes e aprenderes entre participantes e pesquisadores. Os desafios estão relacionados ao rompimento da lógica dominante nas pesquisas e da inclusão da diferença de saberes e poderes na produção de conhecimento. Conclusão: a Socioclínica Institucional pode articular transformação de práticas e produção de conhecimento. O referencial oferta importante suporte no campo de produção de conhecimento da enfermagem e da saúde por valorizar, em todo processo da pesquisa, a subjetividade dos envolvidos, bem como as instituições que atravessam as práticas e as relações.

Published: December 2017

RESUMO A criação de vínculos sociais em meio digital pode colaborar para a aprendizagem, apoio mútuo e valores compartilhados em determinados grupos sociais. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo que buscou compreender como uma comunidade de prática criada na mídia social Facebook® pode ser utilizada para o desenvolvimento profissional de indivíduos que pertencem a grupos em situação de vulnerabilidade social. O método de pesquisa empregado foi a Design Science Research, por meio da qual se criou e testou um artefato - uma metodologia para a criação de uma comunidade de prática em mídia social (no Facebook®). A comunidade foi criada por um grupo de jovens com perfil sócio vulnerável que realizavam um curso técnico profissionalizante em uma unidade do SENAI. Os resultados do estudo apontam que o Facebook® possui as ferramentas necessárias para dar apoio à interação e aprendizagem em uma comunidade de prática, porém, outros fatores, como a ausência de lideranças, a necessidade do contato face a face e o uso de outras mídias (como aplicativos móveis) para interação, limitações na habilidade de escrita dos participantes e o narcisismo, comportamento característico no Facebook®, entre outros, afetaram o nível de desenvolvimento da comunidade de prática criada nessa mídia.

Published: December 2017

RESUMO Os incentivos financeiros são mecanismos utilizados para alinhar os objetivos do agente aos do principal. Este estudo objetiva verificar a relação dos determinantes da remuneração dos executivos, com o desempenho financeiro e de mercado das companhias brasileiras de capital aberto, listadas na BM&FBovespa. Os dados foram obtidos através de análise dos formulários de referência, disponibilizados pela Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM). O presente estudo classifica-se como exploratório com abordagem quantitativa. Foram encontradas 228 empresas após levantamento das companhias que disponibilizavam essas informações, sendo essa, a amostra que compõe a pesquisa. Foi utilizado o teste de regressão linear múltipla, com dados em painel, para testar a relação entre remuneração e desempenho das companhias entre os anos de 2011 a 2013. Foram encontrados fatores financeiros e fatores não financeiros como determinantes da remuneração nas companhias brasileiras de capital aberto. O teste de regressão identificou que há relação positiva e significativa do desempenho financeiro, com as remunerações baseadas em indicadores financeiros e não financeiros, em conjunto, e remunerações baseadas apenas em indicadores não financeiros. O desempenho de mercado não obteve significância estatística com a remuneração dos executivos. Estes resultados evidenciam que planos de incentivos que se baseiam em indicadores financeiros, não alinham os interesses dos agentes aos dos principais. A ausência de resultado entre desempenho de mercado com os sistemas de remuneração, afirma que os planos de remuneração não alinham os interesses do principal e agente.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Rhizobium-legume symbioses play relevant roles in agriculture but have not been well studied in Ecuador. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Rhizobium isolates associated with Phaseolus vulgaris from southern Ecuador. Morpho-cultural characterization, biochemical tests and physiological analyses were conducted to authenticate and determine the diversity of bacteria Rhizobium-like isolates. The genetic diversity of the isolates was determined by molecular techniques, which consisted of bacteria DNA extraction and amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The nodulation parameters and nitrogen fixation for P. vulgaris under greenhouse conditions were also assessed to determine the phenotypic diversity among isolates. Furthermore, bacteria indole-acetic-acid production was evaluated by the colorimetric method. Morpho-cultural and biochemical characteristic assessments demonstrated that Rhizobium-like bacteria was associated with the P. vulgaris nodules. The diversity among the isolates, as determined by physiological analyses, revealed the potential of several isolates to grow at different pH values, salinity conditions and temperatures. Partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene identified the Rhizobium genus in every sampling site. From a total of 20 aligned sequences, nine species of Rhizobium were identified. Nodule formation and biomass, as well as nitrogen fixation, showed an increase in plant phenotypic parameters, which could be influenced by IAA production, especially for the strains R. mesoamericanum NAM1 and R. leguminosarum bv. viciae COL6. These results demonstrated the efficiency of native symbiotic diazotrophic strains inoculants for legume production. This work can serve as the basis for additional studies of native Rhizobium strains and to help spread the use of biofertilizers in Ecuadorian fields.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Salt stress is the most significant constraint for agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions. Thus, genetically improved stress-tolerant varieties are needed for the future. The identification of salt-tolerant genotypes is the starting point for such breeding studies. This study was conducted to determine and assess the tolerance of different watermelon genotypes under saline conditions. Twenty-two watermelon genotypes and accessions were grown in pots with 3 kg of soil in four saline stress conditions (0 mmol kg-1 as the control, 25, 50 and 100 mmol kg-1 NaCl). The detrimental effects of salt stress on the plants were evident with increasing doses of NaCl. Stress indices calculated over the plant dry weights under the 100 mmol kg-1 salinity level were used to assess the salt tolerance of the genotypes. Stress intensity was calculated as 0.76. Such a value indicated that the highest dose of salt exerted severe stress on the plants. The G04, G14 and G21 genotypes were considered to be salt tolerant, since these genotypes showed the highest values of K/Na and Ca/Na ratios in the plant tissue. The losses in dry mass at severe salt stress reached 75.48%. In principal component analyses, the genotypes had positive correlations with stress tolerance indices of MP (mean productivity), GMP (geometric mean productivity) and STI (stress tolerance index). The GMP and STI indices indicated that G04 (a member of Citrullus colocynthis), G14 and G21 could be prominent sources to develop salt tolerance.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: This study evaluated the physical and functional characteristics of Turkish patients with knee osteoarthritis and how this disease affects their physical and functional status. Methods: This study included 320 patients, who were evaluated to assess body mass index (BMI) and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score in terms of age, sex and functional characteristics. Results: Mean patient age was 66.92±8.89 years and mean BMI was 31.02±5.20 kg/m2. Mean patient HSS score was 58.70±11.08. According to their sit-to-stand test results, 33% of the patients (n=104) were found to be independent. There was a significant relationship between BMI and functional activity score (p<0.05). Conclusions: The majority of the patients in our study were female and obese, and had low functionality levels. Function in patients with OA is restricted as a result of excess weight, so preventive measures can help Turkish patients with OA maintain their ideal weight. Furthermore, patient education can be help this population acquire the habit of regular exercise in order to reduce pain and improve their physical activity and quality of life.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objective: This article provides details and tips on the dry arthroscopic technique, based on our experience and its clinical applications. Method: The technique was applied to 65 patients (33 men and 32 women) aged between 20 and 62 years (average of 35.4 years) for treating: synovial cyst resection, scapholunate ligament injury repair, ulnocarpal impact correction, triangular fibrocartilage injury repair, and assisted reduction of distal radius fractures. Results: A minimally invasive intra-articular evaluation has been observed as a benefit, with low infection rate, small scars, and high rates of early recovery, without affecting intra-articular fluid use, reducing the risk of compartment syndrome and infiltrated soft tissues, in the case of need for associated open surgery. As for the difficulties, we report the surgeon’s view, which is commonly prevented by optical blurring or debris that hit the lens, and the need for radiofrequency care, since the heat generated is dissipated with greater difficulty than in the classical technique. Conclusion: Dry arthroscopy emerges as an effective choice to treat wrist pathologies, however, deep knowledge and ease with the classical technique, as well as a learning curve, are key to obtain a good outcome.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the functional and radiographic results of patients who underwent surgical treatment for terrible triad-type elbow injuries (TTE). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 20 patients, including one case with bilateral injuries (total of 21 elbows) that were surgically treated from January 2004 to July 2014. We evaluated the functional results of treatment by measuring the restored range of motion (ROM) of the elbow, using the DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and MEPS (Mayo Elbow Performance Score) scores. Complications and the development of osteoarthritis and heterotopic ossification (HO) were also evaluated. Results: Eight elbows (38%) required additional surgical treatment; HO was observed in eight elbows (38%) and severe osteoarthritis (Broberg-Morrey type IV) was seen in only one case (4%). Nevertheless, we obtained good functional results, 14.27 on the DASH and 84 on the MEPS. The average ROM for flexion-extension was 101° (20-140°) and for pronation-supination was 112.85° (0-180°). Conclusion: When TTE injuries are treated systematically, even despite variations in these injuries, functional ROM and scores ranging from good to excellent can be obtained.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the age in which the secondary ossification centers of the elbow appear and fuse in the Brazilian population. Methods: Nearly thirty radiographs were randomly selected for each age group from 0 to 18 years, with a total of 544 radiographs from 439 patients, between 2010 and 2015, without abnormalities secondary to trauma, metabolic or bone tumor diseases. Radiographs were retrospectively evaluated by two blind and independent observers, according to the presence or not of the ossification centers, and the fusion between them. Results: The age interval of appearance and fusion were, respectively: capitulum (0 to 1 year; 10 to 15 years), radius head (2 to 6 year; 12 to 16 years), medial epicondyle (2 to 8 years; 13 to 17 years), trochlea (5 to 11 years; 10 to 18 years), olecranon (6 to 11 years; 13 to 16 years), e lateral epicondyle (8 to 13 years; 12 to 16 years). Appearance and fusion were earlier in girls compared to boys (exception to capitulum and radius head). Conclusion: The chronological order was similar to the literature. For girls, the radius head and medial epicondyle appeared simultaneously. There was a tendency of the olecranon center to appear before the trochlea for both sexes.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze differences in the variables for the object of this study (attitude toward communication, emotional intelligence, and empathy) according to sex; verify correlations among variables between men and women and analyze regression models according to sex. Method: the ATC was used to measure attitudes toward communication; the Jefferson Scale of Empathy was used to measure empathy; and the Trait Meta Mood Scale 24 was used to measure emotional intelligence. The sample was composed of 450 nurses working in 7 hospitals located in Valencia, Spain. The t-test for independent samples was used to verify whether there were statistically significant differences, together with a prior application of the Levene test to assess the equality of variances. The correlations were analyzed using Person’s coefficient. Finally, the Beta coefficients of variables predicting ATC’s dimensions were verified using hierarchical multiple linear regression according to sex. Results: There are statistically significant differences based on sex for the variables, correlations and power of prediction. Conclusions: This study presents evidence on how the levels of variables (attitudes toward communication, EI, and empathy) vary among nurses according to sex, as well as the relationships established among such variables.

ABSTRACT Aim: to describe ostomy patient’s perception about health care received, as well as their needs and suggestions for healthcare system improvement. Method: qualitative phenomenological study was conducted, involving individual and semi-structured interviews on the life experiences of 21 adults who had a digestive stoma. Participants were selected following a purposive sampling approach. The analysis was based on the constant comparison of the data, the progressive incorporation of subjects and triangulation among researchers and stoma therapy nurses. The software Atlas.ti was used. Results: perception of health care received is closely related to the information process, as well as training for caring the stoma from peristomal skin to diet. It is worthy to point out the work performed by stoma care nurses ensuring support during all stages of the process. Conclusion: findings contribute to address the main patients’ needs (better prepared nurses, shorter waiting lists, information about sexual relation, inclusion of family members all along the process) and recommendations for improving health care to facilitate their adaptation to a new status of having a digestive stoma.

Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT The Caatinga is an endemic and threatened dry-forest biome distributed across northern Brazil. We evaluated the conservation value of a Caatinga Natural Reserve (NR) - Floresta Nacional (FLONA) Contendas do Sincorá - using Scarabaeinae dung beetles as a biodiversity indicator. Specifically, we contrasted two zones impacted by two distinct intensity of selective logging that happened inside the NR until 1997. Dung beetles were collected 14 years after logging, using baited pitfall traps within three main habitats (riparian forest, regenerating Caatinga or arboreal Caatinga) found in two zones (Preservation and Management Zones). A total of 1,214 individuals from 21 species were sampled. The two zones presented distinct species composition, although the habitats did not exhibit such differences. Our results indicated that the secondary areas are in a conservation status similar to arboreal Caatinga and riparian forest, 14 y after logging. Furthermore, we identified seven habitat-indicator species, two of them typical to Caatinga biome, highlighting the importance of updates in NR management plan considering the Scarabaeinae regional diversity management.

RESUMEN Se evaluaron los hábitos alimenticios, dimorfismo sexual y parámetros reproductivos en Liolaemus vallecurensis (Pereyra, 1992) en un sector Andino de Argentina. Para examinar la dieta, se determinó volumen, numerosidad y frecuencia de ocurrencia para cada ítem-presa y se calculó el Índice de Importancia Relativa (IRI). Además se aplicaron índices tróficos (Levins) e índices de diversidad. Se estudiaron las variaciones morfológicas en 14 medidas comparando machos y hembras adultos. Considerando los artrópodos, L. vallecurensis consume principalmente ítem del orden Hymenoptera (no Formicidae) no encontrándose diferencias tróficas entre sexos ni por edades. Los machos presentan tendencia hacia una estrategia de búsqueda activa y una dieta especialista. Las hembras y juveniles cazan al acecho con una dieta de tipo más oportunista. Los machos consumen grandes cantidades de materia vegetal considerándose como herbívoros aunque no estrictamente, hembras omnívoras y juveniles entre insectívoros y omnívoros. Se encontró dimorfismo entre sexos en 10 variables morfológicas. Se encontró asociación entre la longitud de cabeza y el modo de búsqueda de alimento. Se confirma la condición vivípara con un tamaño de camada de tres crías, con una parición entre fines de diciembre y principios de enero. Estos aportes en L. vallecurensis representan los primeros y únicos datos biológicos para esta especie en estos ambientes rigurosos.

ABSTRACT The different microhabitats provided by seagrasses and the habit of the species determinate the vertical distribution of crustaceans. This study verified the influence of the seasonality on the spatial distribution of the crustacean community associated with a Halodule wrightii meadow. From April 2006 to July 2007, we performed fifteen samplings in Goiabeiras Beach, Ceará State, each with five sectioned replicates in belowground and aboveground. Cumaceans and the amphipod Hyale media (Dana, 1853) had a higher frequency, density, and dominance than the other taxa, in both strata. The community exhibited gradual changes along the study, in both the belowground and aboveground strata, but the seagrass structure was not sufficient to explain the vertical distribution of the crustacean fauna along the time.

Summary Although myocardial rupture occurs in only 2% to 4% of cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), there is a high mortality rate due to acute cardiogenic shock. We present the anatomopathological findings of three cases of myocardial rupture in autopsied hearts in the last 30 years, with a diagnosis of cardiac rupture in acute myocardial infarction. In these 30 years the percentage of AMI with myocardial rupture was 0.2%. Risk factors for post-AMI myocardial rupture include older age, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension.

Published: December 2017

Summary Objective: In order to introduce an instrument within our midst that allows a comprehensive clinical evaluation of pain-induced depression in the elderly, we proposed the translation, cross-cultural adaptation into Brazilian Portuguese, and study of the psychometric properties of the “Geriatric Psychosocial Assessment of Pain-induced Depression” (GEAP) scale. This instrument was especially developed for the screening of depression associated with chronic pain in the elderly. Method: We performed translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the GEAP scale, whose psychometric properties were analyzed in a sample of 48 elderly individuals. Sociodemographic data and information related to chronic pain were ascertained, as well as those related to depression. The GEAP-b scale was applied at three different times on the same day by two different interviewers (I1 and I2), and after 15 days by one of those interviewers (I3). Results: The GEAP-b proved to be an easy-to-apply instrument with a high internal consistency value, according to the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.835). The reproducibility of the instrument was optimal, achieving intraclass correlations of 98.5 and 92% for interobserver and intraobserver, respectively. There was “considerable” agreement (between 0.419 and 1.0) for each GEAP-b item, except for item 19, according to the kappa statistic. As for the validity of the GEAP-b criterion, positive and statistically significant correlations were obtained for pain, according to GPM-p (r=49.5%, p<0.001), and depression, according to GDS (r=59%, p<0.001), both values being considered regular (between 40-60%). Conclusion: The GEAP-b scale has proven to be reliable and valid in the screening of pain-related depression in the elderly.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the itineraries of patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in the Interstate health region in San Francisco Valley. Methods: this study uses the qualitative approach through the construction of Therapeutic Itineraries (IT). In the IT mapping the observation was prioritized on the different points and forms to access health service in search of care. Results: sixteen semi-structured interviews with healthcare users were conducted. There were diverse forms to access and provide services at the Rede Interestadual de Atenção à Saúde do Vale do Médio São Francisco-PEBA (Interstate Healthcare Network Region in the San Francisco Valley), which could be characterized by disorganized and uncoordinated care in the analyzed cases, despite the guarantee of hospital care. The Primary Health Care (APS) teams are present at a care point with most of the patients' itineraries, however, little integration to the regionalized network and they were unable to perform their functions and coordinate the care. It is observed pilgrimage assistance, fragmented care and difficulties in receiving care after post hospitalization which is essential for the patients’ rehabilitation. Conclusions: traces of fragments of the regional health system are important warning signs that points out fragility in PEBA and demonstrate persistent gaps in the public health system to fulfil the responsibility and guarantee individuals’ right for health.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the regional governance arrangements of specialized assistance in the Public Health System (SUS). Methods: Case studies were carried out which included seven health regions in the Brazilian territory, involving the secondary data systematization and 128 interviews with SUS leaders (2015 to 2016). The analysis was done in a comparative perspective, considering: public and private participation; assistance concentration; power relations and regional conflicts. Results: the public provision service and expenditure were high in the Medium Complexity and in the private, High Complexity. The main responsibility for the public provision service was in the cities so, that the specialized assistance was strongly concentrated in the pole cities. The level of influence from the providers in health decisions was high, and the offer considered to be insufficient and inadequate in relation to services and medical professionals. Conflicts were evident in the intergovernmental and public-private relations. Conclusions: the diversity of agents and arrangements - multilevel, hybrid and polarized - characterizes governance regionalization in SUS, which is conditioned by the scarcity and the inequality context in the distribution of services.

Resumen El siguiente trabajo reporta los resultados de una investigación exploratoria descriptiva sobre el cambio del profesor desde su propia perspectiva, en torno a la implementación de la resolución de problemas de final abierto. Se considera el cambio del profesor como un proceso que implica el sistema de creencias y actitudes y cambios a nivel cognitivo. Por lo anterior, y mediante el uso de entrevistas utilizando viñetas y recuerdo simulado como herramientas metodológicas, se trabajó en la identificación de elementos que favorecen el cambio en el sistema de creencias y la forma de trabajar la resolución de problemas en un grupo de once profesores de primaria, que han participado en un proyecto implementando la resolución de problemas de final abierto, a lo largo de tres años. Hemos observado que los profesores identifican y declaran cambios en la forma en que trabajan en el aula, en ellos mismos y en sus estudiantes.

Resumen La optimización matemática es un concepto matemático esencial para abordar problemas de la vida cotidiana. En el Currículo del Bachillerato español se emplean las herramientas del Análisis Matemático para solucionar los problemas de optimización, siendo aquí donde aparecen las principales dificultades de aprendizaje de la noción. En este trabajo, en primer lugar, se presentan los resultados de un estudio epistemológico de la evolución de la optimización a lo largo de la historia, con el objetivo de fijar los significados de referencia. Posteriormente, se muestra cómo se desarrolla esta noción en tres libros de texto del citado nivel educativo, todo ello con el fin de poder detectar el significado que se pretende abordar en el aula, así como las dificultades potenciales que los alumnos pueden encontrar en torno a este concepto.

Ensino de didática e aprendizagem da docência na formação inicial de professores
Authors: Cruz Giseli Barreto da
Published: December 2017

RESUMO O artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa que teve por objetivo analisar o estado atual do ensino de didática em cursos de licenciatura e sua contribuição para o processo de constituição profissional docente. O quadro teórico elaborou-se com base em Roldão, Shulman, Gauthier, Cochran-Smith e Lytle. Metodologicamente, desenvolveu-se análise curricular dos cursos investigados; aplicou-se um questionário aos estudantes que tivessem cursado cerca de 70% do currículo; e realizaram-se quatro grupos de discussão. Os resultados indicam maior ênfase política do que metodológica no ensino de didática, expressa nos temas trabalhados, na aula realizada e na relação com o professor formador. Manifesta-se a necessidade de um ensino centrado na escola pública, na educação básica e no trabalho docente.
Psicogênese da língua escrita: uma análise necessária
Authors: Andrade Paulo Estevão , Andrade Olga Valéria Campana dos Anjos , Prado Paulo Sérgio T. do
Published: December 2017

RESUMO Em Psicogênese da Língua Escrita, Ferreiro e Teberosky relatam uma pesquisa sobre o desenvolvimento da leitura-escrita. A estrutura teórico-metodológica é fornecida pelo construtivismo de Piaget: a criança ativa constrói seu conhecimento na interação com o meio - neste caso a língua escrita - e se desenvolve ao longo de estágios. De Chomsky, as autoras emprestam a ideia de um dispositivo inato para a aquisição da linguagem, generalizando-a para a aquisição da leitura, que seria aprendida tão naturalmente quanto a fala. Um terceiro marco interpretativo é a abordagem Whole Language, cujo foco principal da leitura deve ser a busca pelo significado. Apresentam-se uma análise de contradições internas do texto e uma confrontação deste com parte da literatura referenciada na própria obra.
Formulação e implementação da ação afirmativa para pós-graduação do Museu Nacional
Authors: Venturini Anna Carolina
Published: December 2017

RESUMO O trabalho analisa a política de ação afirmativa instituída na pós-graduação em antropologia social do Museu Nacional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo é contribuir com a literatura e analisar a formulação e a implementação das ações afirmativas para pós-graduação de uma perspectiva crítica. Destaca-se a importância da participação conjunta dos corpos discente e docente na elaboração e discussão da proposta, bem como o fato de se terem levado em consideração as barreiras enfrentadas por negros e indígenas no ingresso à pós-graduação e o papel do processo tradicional de seleção na manutenção desses obstáculos. Contudo, não se mostra suficiente que os programas apenas criem mecanismos para ingresso desses grupos na pós-graduação, sendo indispensável a formulação de políticas de permanência.
SITUAÇÕES DE DESEQUILÍBRIO ENTRE ESFORÇO-RECOMPENSA E TRANSTORNOS MENTAIS COMUNS EM TRABALHADORES DA ATENÇÃO BÁSICA DE SAÚDE
Authors: Oliveira Ana Maria Neta de , Araújo Tânia Maria de
Published: December 2017

Resumo Estudo da associação entre transtornos mentais comuns e situações de desequilíbrio entre esforços e recompensas em trabalhadores da atenção básica de saúde realizada em distrito sanitário de Salvador, na Bahia. Foram estudados trabalhadores que estavam em exercício profissional nas unidades de saúde do distrito, em 2012. Estudo transversal, com quatrocentos do total de 509 trabalhadores. Para avaliação de esforço e recompensa no trabalho, utilizou-se o Effort-Reward Imbalance. O Self-Reporting Questionnaire mensurou os transtornos mentais comuns. A prevalência de transtornos mentais comuns foi de 21%; 46,2% dos trabalhadores vivenciavam situações de desequilíbrio esforço-recompensa no trabalho. A prevalência de transtornos mentais comuns foi mais elevada na situação de desequilíbrio esforço-recompensa (26,9%) e no grupo dos trabalhadores operacionais (33,8%). A análise de correspondência indicou relação entre desequilíbrio esforço-recompensa e transtornos mentais comuns na primeira dimensão. O modelo de regressão logística log-binomial evidenciou associação positiva entre desequilíbrio esforço-recompensa e transtornos mentais comuns (razão de prevalência ajustada=1,91). Trabalhadores expostos a situações de desequilíbrio esforço-recompensa no trabalho apresentaram maior frequência de adoecimento mental. Os resultados reforçam a necessidade de intervir na gestão e organização do trabalho quanto às demandas dos serviços, condições precárias do trabalho e formas de recompensa ou reconhecimento.
O muiraquitã da estearia da Boca do Rio, Santa Helena, Maranhão: estudo arqueológico, mineralógico e simbólico

Published: December 2017

Resumo O muiraquitã é um artefato arqueológico raro e característico das sociedades pré-coloniais do baixo Amazonas e de área circum-caribenha. Foi confeccionado por meio de diversos tipos de minerais, sendo os mais conhecidos os de pedra verde, sobretudo a nefrita. Embora sua função ainda seja desconhecida, a literatura etnográfica e arqueológica sugere que estes objetos conotavam símbolos de poder, haja vista a ampla rede de circulação em que estavam inseridos. Este artigo descreve um muiraquitã encontrado na estearia da Boca do Rio, região das estearias maranhenses. As análises foram feitas por MicroRaman, com auxílio do equipamento de bancada BWTEK, da GemExpert, difração de raios X (DRX), evidenciando que o artefato foi confeccionado em tremolita/actinolita, um mineral inexistente no Maranhão. Propõe-se uma possibilidade acerca da cadeia operatória do artefato e analisam-se as possíveis redes regionais de interação comercial e simbólica nas quais este muiraquitã esteve envolvido.
Studies on spelling in the context of dyslexia: a literature review
Authors: Cidrim Luciana , Madeiro Francisco
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT This paper aimed at reviewing the literature related to national and international research on spelling difficulties by dyslexics and identifying the intervention approaches performed with regard to this topic. An integrative review of the literature was carried out in order to answer the question: considering the domain of the orthography, one of the challenges frequently faced by dyslexics, how are studies on the relationship between dyslexia and spelling characterized? The research was carried out in PubMed platform, Scopus database and Portal de Periódicos CAPES/MEC. To search the articles, the following descriptors were used: "dislexia" or "dyslexia" with the free terms "ortografia" or "spelling". One aspect should be highlighted: some works indicate that difficulties in the spelling performance by dyslexics are not exclusively due to phonological processing failures - they are also secondary to alterations in orthographic processing. A challenge faced by dyslexics is to retain phonological information to use in writing new orthographic forms. Researchers suggest that intervention strategies include phonological, orthographic and lexical activities. It is observed that few studies have analyzed the difficulties that dyslexics face when dealing with new words, as well as writing, correctly, frequently used words in their own language.
Teaching language components to deaf/hard-of-hearing and cochlear implant users: a literature review
Authors: Lucchesi Fernando Del Mando , Almeida-Verdu Ana Claudia Moreira
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT Cochlear implants are one of the possible ways for Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) individuals to detect sounds and as a mean of insertion in the social, academic and work environments. Nevertheless, in many cases, the cochlear implant alone is not sufficient, demanding hearing and expressive language skills rehabilitation to optimize the device used. This study aimed at reviewing scientific articles that described empirical research with interventions and/or teaching methods of various language repertoires to deaf and hard-of-hearing cochlear implant users. The review was carried out in five scientific databases considering all periods. On the first phase, 156 articles were identified and from these, 24 publications were selected. After being read, these articles were categorized and analyzed as to the participants, teaching targets and procedures adopted. On the last stage of the research, 10 experimental studies were selected and analyzed regarding procedures and results, indicating important factors in teaching this population. The results point to the necessity of an increase of scientific production in the construction and evaluation of effective verbal repertoires teaching programs for cochlear implant users.
Informação e valor: inter-relações conceituais e a formação das tipologias valorativas da informação
Authors: SILVA Jonathas Luiz Carvalho
Published: December 2017

Resumo Este artigo trata das inter-relações entre informação e valor, apontando uma intrínseca relação entre ambos os termos. Apresenta como ponto de partida a seguinte pergunta: quais as inter-relações entre informação e valor e como elas produzem impactos na produção das tipologias valorativas da informação? O trabalho tem como objetivo abordar fundamentos sustentadores do conceito de valor, percebendo como este se inter-relaciona com o conceito de informação, considerando a formação das tipologias valorativas da informação no contexto causal e consequencial. A metodologia é concebida a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, em diálogo com literatura documental diversa sobre os conceitos de valor e de informação, tanto da Ciência da Informação quanto de áreas afins, como Filosofia, Sociologia, Ciência Política, História, Educação, Linguística, Psicologia, Comunicação, entre outras. Conclui que a grande inter-relação entre informação e valor é constituída por meio das questões causais e consequenciais, sendo estas questões observadas sob uma perspectiva de construção social baseada em interações que estimulam a tomada de decisão dos sujeitos.
