RESUMO
O reconhecimento jurídico das uniões estáveis entre casais do mesmo sexo, pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal no dia 05 de maio de 2011, que pode ser considerada uma importante conquista para o movimento LGBT no Brasil, nos despertou o interesse acadêmico de compreender como as relações homoafetivas masculinas organizam a divisão sexual do trabalho.Buscaremos, então, analisar de que forma os casais homossexuais masculinos dividem as tarefas domésticas. Dessa forma, busco refletir sobre as experiências dos sujeitos homossexuais que vivenciam uma relação estável, o que permitirá identificar a maneira como pesam e estruturam suas vidas conjugais. Em que medida há uma interface com o modelo heteronormativo ou uma ruptura no que se refere a divisão das tarefas domésticas? Que estratégias esses casais utilizam para romper ou reformular a divisão sexual do trabalho clássica? Caso exista reprodução quais as experiências sociais que os levam a reproduzir esse modelo normativo? Para isso, realizamos entrevistas com casais homossexuais. As informações fornecidas pelos entrevistados são analisadas com base na teoria de autores como Pierre Bourdieu, Daniel Welzer-Lang, Elisabeth Badinter, Daniel Borrilo, dentre outros.

The structure of our concepts: A critical assessment of Conceptual Metaphor Theory as a theory of concepts
Authors: Bundgaard Peer F.
Published: April 2019

George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory is by and large a theory of what (abstract) concepts are, how they are structured, and how this structure is acquired — i.e., by mapping of structure from one more concrete or sensory-motor specific domain to another more abstract domain. Conceptual metaphors therefore rest on “cross-domain mappings.” The claims to the effect that our abstract concepts are metaphorically structured and that cross-domain mappings constitute one of the fundamental cognitive meaning-making processes are empirical and can therefore be put to the test. In this paper, I will critically assess Conceptual Metaphor Theory as a theory of concepts in light of recent experimental findings. Many such findings provide evidence for the psychological reality of cross-domain mappings, i.e., that structure activated in one domain actually can perform cognitive tasks carried out in another domain. They do not, however, support the claim that the structure of our (abstract) concepts is still metaphorical, as Lakoff and Johnson claim — that is to say, that our mind actually does perform cross-domain mappings when we process conventional conceptual metaphors such as “Death is Rest” or “Love is a Journey.” Two conclusions can be drawn from this: (1) it is necessary to distinguish between cross-domain mappings (which are psychologically real) and the metaphoric structure of our concepts (which is not, in the sense that such concepts do not any longer activate cross-domain mappings when processed); (2) Conceptual Metaphor Theory is not an adequate theory of concepts. I will therefore sketch another more viable theory of concepts where the structure of our concepts is defined as the fullecologyof their situations of use, which includes the kind of situations (objects, agents, interactions) they apply to and the kind of emotional, cognitive, bodily, and behavioral responses they elicit. On this view, the contents of our concepts are to be considered as vague predicates, with vague extensions, which take on a specific form in their situation of use.
Do Entrepreneurial Assistance Programs Create Value for Agri-Food Entrepreneurs?
Authors: Lovgren Adam , Ross R. Brent , Leschewski Andrea , Peterson H. Christopher
Published: April 2019

This study analyzes how agri-food Entrepreneurial Assistance Programs (EAPs) create value for entrepreneurs. Using the MSU Product Center as a unit of analysis, the effect of agri-food EAP assistance on firms’ venture evaluation, perceived legitimacy, and performance is examined. Results indicate that agri-food EAP assistance prevents untenable business ideas from launching, improves the survival of launched ventures and develops entrepreneurs’ perceived legitimacy with trading partners. Further, results imply that targeted EAPs are a viable policy approach for promoting entrepreneurial activity in the agri-food industry, and that they can be particularly well suited to assisting nascent entrepreneurs.

Nitro-substituted heteroaromatic carboxamides 1a-e were synthesized and tested against three Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell lines. The activities can be explained in terms of the distribution of the electronic density across the nitro-substituted heteroaromatic ring attached to the amide group. 1,3,5-Oxadiazole derivatives 1c-e are candidates for the development of novel antitubercular agents. Ongoing studies are focused on exploring the mechanism by which these compounds inhibit M. tuberculosis cell growth.
Translator Education at a Crossroads:the Impact of Automation
Authors: Rodríguez de Céspedes Begoña
Published: April 2019

Automation is affecting all spheres of our daily lives and humans are adapting both to the challenges that it poses and the benefits that it brings. The translation profession has also experienced the impact of new technologies with Language Service Providers adapting to changes (Presas/Cid-Leal/Torres-Hostench 2016; Sakamoto/Rodríguez de Céspedes/Evans/Berthaud 2017). Translation trainers are not oblivious to this phenomenon. There have indeed been efforts to incorporate the teaching of digital translation tools and new technologies in the translation classroom (Doherty/Kenny/Way 2012; Doherty/Moorkens 2013; Austermühl 2013; O’Hagan 2013; Gaspari/Almaghout/Doherty 2015; Moorkens 2017) and many translation programmes in Europe are adapting their curricula to incorporate this necessary technological competence (Rothwell/Svoboda 2017). This paper reflects on the impact that automation and, more specifically machine translation and computer assisted tools, have and will have on the future training of translators and on the balance given by translation companies to language and technological skills.
Test and evaluation of advertising effect based on EEG and eye tracker
Authors: Wang Lingfeng
Published: April 2019

As a means of marketing communication, advertisements have been applied in the course of enterprise operation. However, in practice, there are many problems with the implementation effect of specific advertisements, so the test and evaluation of the effectiveness of advertising have important practical and theoretical significance. Therefore, this paper uses the EEG and eye movement technology to study the EEG change and eye movement of subjects when viewing advertisements and to conduct processing and analysis of the collected EEG and eye movement indexes. It is expected to provide advertisers with valuable advertising strategies based on the analysis results of EEG change and eye movement experiment.
Leiten oder leiten lassen? Gesprächsanalytische Beobachtungen zur interaktiven Aushandlung der Leitungsfunktion im Klassenrat
Authors: Nell-Tuor Nadine , Haldimann Nina
Published: April 2019

The class council is a teaching format which takes place regularly, aiming at the teacher stepping back from his/her conventional role as the organizing authority in order to allow the students to participate directly in decision-making processes concerning their everyday school life. This format results in a unique interactional constellation among the participants. In this article, we explore this interactional constellation from the perspective of conversation and interaction analysis. On the basis of videographies of class council sessions in which students and teachers occupy different participation roles, we ask how those roles are negotiated interactively. With a specific focus on the teacher and the moderator (student), we ask to what extent the teacher is able to delegate leadership responsibility among the group. It is shown that teachers are only partly able to do so. Often, teachers influence the interaction on a multimodal level. The challenge of organizing the class council lies in the need for the participants to accomplish different (and in part incompatible) interactional orders: on the one hand, teachers as well as students have to consider their specific participation roles; on the other hand, their participation roles are framed institutionally and cannot easily be changed.

In current debates the media, policy makers and scientists are aiming to identify factors explaining negative trends in the orthography competencies of German primary school students. Especially a concept making use of initial sound tables and the method “reading by writing“ is often identified as a core factor. However empirical studies backing these claims are rare and contradictory. Also very little is known about the actual use of initial sound tables in primary schools. In this article we provide an overview of empirical studies on the effectiveness of the use of initial sound tables and the concept “reading by writing“. We then present data from a short teacher survey on the use of initial sound tables in German classes, which was realized as an extension to the PIRLS 2016 and is therefore representative for German primary schools. According to this survey about 70 % of all Grade 4 learners of 2016 have been exposed to initial sound tables as part of their German lessons throughout primary school. About half of these learners were asked to work almost every lesson with these tables in their first one-half years of schooling. We also find that teachers who work with sound tables differ in their beliefs about when student’s spelling mistakes should be corrected. In addition we find that the majority of teachers report to combine the use of sound tables with other materials, such as basic readers. We argue especially this finding should guide future designs of studies aiming to compare the effectiveness of different methods as most of the current studies possibly wrongly assume a distinctive or at least dominant use of initial sound tables or basic readers.

Clam Spawning & Red Tide: Helping Students Learn the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Authors: Bonner Kaitlin , Piechnik Denise , Kovacs Jennifer , Warwick Alexa , White Peter
Published: April 2019

The Hardy-Weinberg principle and associated calculations are often challenging for students to learn for three reasons. First, several assumptions need to be understood to correctly apply the principle. Second, a series of calculations are required for proper application. Third, the principle, assumptions, and calculations are often taught separately from students observing population changes over time. We describe a classroom activity in which students investigate how the allele frequencies of soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria) populations change over time as a result of environmental disturbances by simulating the effects on population data. These classroom population changes are then compared to authentic research data collected on populations of M. arenaria. This activity was implemented at three institutions in introductory- and senior-level biology courses. Students reported that the activity helped them better understand and apply both the principle and its calculations.
Frozen Goals: Identifying and Defining a New Type of Goal
Authors: Davydenko Mariya , Werner Kaitlyn M. , Milyavskaya Marina
Published: April 2019

Goals pursuit involves multiple stages from setting the goal to actively pursuing the goal to finally achieving or abandoning the goal. Sometimes, however, individuals may set a goal and take some steps towards achieving it, but after some time they are neither actively working to achieve the goal nor abandon the goal. We describe such goals as ‘frozen goals’: personally important goals that individuals remain committed to (and so are not abandoned), yet no steps are actively taken towards attaining the goal. Across three studies we demonstrate the prevalence of frozen goals (Study 1) and examine differences between frozen goals and current goals that are actively pursued (Study 2) and between current frozen goals and past frozen goals (Study 3). In Study 1 we find that 92% of the sample reported having at least one frozen goal in their life, thereby demonstrating that frozen goals are not attributable to individual differences. In Study 2, we found that participants randomly assigned to describe a frozen goal reported making less progress, were less committed to, and considered the frozen goals less important than current goals. However, frozen goal commitment and importance was significantly greater than the scale midpoint, suggesting that frozen goals are nonetheless important. Across the studies, we found that frozen goals are common and are maintained for many years with very little progress, but that shifts from frozen to active or abandoned goals are possible. This research opens many avenues for new questions and new perspectives on goal pursuit and goal setting.

Testosterone inhibits aneurysm formation and vascular inflammation in male mice
Authors: Son Bo-Kyung , Kojima Taro , Ogawa Sumito , Akishita Masahiro
Published: April 2019

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), one of the pathological phenotypes of vascular aging, is characterized by aortic dilation with impaired arterial wall integrity. Recent epidemiologic studies have shown that men with AAA have lower serum testosterone compared to men without. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of testosterone on AAA formation using a murine AAA model under the conditions of depletion and administration of testosterone. In wild-type male mice (C57BL/6J), AAA was induced by CaCl2application and angiotensin II infusion at 5 weeks after castration. Exacerbated AAA formation was seen in castrated mice, compared with sham-operated mice. Histological analysis revealed marked infiltration of macrophages in the destroyed aorta and IL-6/pSTAT3 expression was significantly elevated, suggesting that AAA development by castration is attributable to pronounced inflammation. Conversely, both 4-week and 9-week administration of testosterone significantly prevented AAA formation, and improvement of histological findings was confirmed. AorticF4/80,Il-1bandIl-6expression were significantly inhibited both by testosterone administration. Indeed, mice with implanted flutamide exhibited exacerbated AAA formation and aorticF4/80,Il-1bandIl-6expression were significantly increased. Taken together, these results demonstrate that testosterone depletion and AR blockade precede AAA formation, and conversely, testosterone administration could suppress AAA formation by regulating macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses. This anti-inflammatory action of testosterone/AR on AAA formation might provide a mechanistic insight into the vascular protective actions of testosterone and suggest that its proper administration or selective AR modulators might be novel therapeutic strategies for this aortic pathology.
“To the honour and worship of Almighty God and his saints:” Lay Patronage at All Saints’ Parish Church, Bristol
Authors: Gearin Natalie
Published: April 2019

Countless objects across England were destroyed, leaving comparably few traces of late medieval art, architecture, and religious practice for examination today. Written documents, however, were not an active target of the Reformation. In some cases they are the best resource available for understanding and imagining the appearance, importance, and role of parish churches in the late medieval era. They provide glimpses of very personal relationships between the laity and the churches they used, and help to discern some of the ways in which benefactors could actively shape the interiors of these buildings to assert their authority within the community, and obtain prayers for salvation after death. Additionally, the laity helped form the congregation’s sensory perception of the Mass through donations of objects that engaged sight, touch, and sound. This will be demonstrated through the use of primary source texts written in fifteenth century English and accompanying modern translations of those texts, surviving artistic and architectural elements, and secondary interpretations of medieval documents. Original fifteenth century wills, churchwarden accounts, and inventories can be extremely thorough and difficult to follow; therefore, this research requires careful close reading of a high volume of documents spanning decades. Constructing a visual narrative based solely on written word is challenging, yet ultimately rewarding in cases in which a church’s religious art objects do not survive. Doing so can lead to significant revelations about the realities of late medieval religion.
Using Nanoparticle Drug Delivery Mechanisms to Improve Eye Moisture Over Extended Periods of Contact Lens Wear
Authors: Zaidi Hasan
Published: April 2019

Millions of people around the world suffer from dry eye symptoms as a result of extended contact lens wear. The objective of this design document is to engineer a solution for chronic dry eyes. The solution must be safe, effective, easy to use, and affordable. The goal of the treatment is to decrease tear film osmolarity by 20 mOsmol/L. Three types of nanotechnologies were considered for this task. The candidate solutions were 1) hydrogel contact lenses infused with lubricant-loaded liposomes, 2) lubricant-loaded microemulsions applied as eye drops, and 3) lubricant-loaded niosomes applied as eye drops. All solutions use polyethylene glycol 400 as the primary active ingredient in the lubricant. The three solutions provide a safe treatment option that allows increased bioavailability of drug and increased retention time, as well as controlled release of drug. A combination of candidates 1 and 3 – namely, hydrogel contact lenses infused with lubricant-loaded niosomes – seems to be the best solution because of excellent drug delivery kinetics and minimal safety concerns. The success of this project would encourage further research in niosome-based and contact lens-based drug delivery. It would also allow this company to expand research and development and further specialize in ocular drug delivery.

Published: April 2019

Introduction. The use of zirconia based all-ceramic restorations are preferred nowadays owing to superior biologic and esthetic properties. However, these restorations have also reported higher incidences of fracture and chipping. The clinical success may be enhanced by optimizing the core design, through the introduction of monolithic zirconia, or the layered crowns can be strengthened by adding the cervical collar to them.

Objective. This study was performed with the objective to compare and evaluate the fracture load of monolithic and bilayered zirconia crowns with and without a cervical collar.

Methods. A prospective observational study was carried out to compare 45 fabricated zirconia crowns of three different designs on a customized metal mould. The samples were oriented on the metal mould and subjected to confocal microscope for the evaluation of marginal integrity followed by cementing the crown on the metal mould and subjecting it to the universal testing machine for the analysis for the flexural strength. Data were analyzed using one way Anova and t- test for inter and intra groups. The significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05.

Results. The monolith zirconia crowns and layered zirconia crowns with cervical collar reported more flexural strength .

Conclusion. The amount of force required to fracture the zirconia crowns was higher in the case of monolith zirconia crown and layered zirconia crown with cervical collar as compared to the layered zirconia crown without cervical collar.

Published: April 2019

AbstrakMacang (Mangifera foetida) adalah jenis mangga kosmopolit dengan vigoritas yang kuat. Macang banyak ditemukan di perkarangan dan kebun dan bersifat semi liar. Penurunan luas lahan seperti deforestasi dapat mengakibatkan keanekaragaman kultivar macang juga mengalami penurunan secara cepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan merekonstruksi hubungan kekerabatan antar kultivar macang menggunakan sekuen gen rbcL. Sampel berasal dari koleksi hasil eksplorasi mangga Sumatera bagian Selatan, yaitu Provinsi Bengkulu, Lampung dan Sumatera Selatan. Ekstraksi DNA dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode CTAB yang dimodifikasi, kemudian DNA diamplifikasi dengan menggunakan primer spesifik rbcL forward dan reverse, dan dilakukan sekuensing serta analisis filogenetik. Rekontruksi pohon filogenetik menggunakan program PAUP* versi 4.0b10 dengan metode Maximum Parsimony (MP) dan Neighbor Joining (NJ). Kladogram dengan MP diperoleh dua klad, yaitu pada klad I terdiri dari kultivar Macang lonjong dan Macang lado, sedangkan klad II terdiri dari kultivar Macang bulat. Berdasarkan metode NJ, diperoleh Macang bulat memiliki jarak genetik lebih panjang sehingga dianggap sebagai individu yang lebih primitif daripada kultivar yang lain. Dengan demikian, dari penelitian ini diperoleh informasi dan bukti dari status taksonomi kultivar macang.Abstract Mangifera foetida is a species of cosmopolitan mango with strong vigor. Some M. foetida are found in some front houses and gardens and has a character of semi-wild in its cultivation. Decreases in land area, such as deforestation, can lead to a rapid decline in their diversity of cultivars. This study aimed to analyze and reconstructs the phylogenetic relationship among M. foetida cultivars using the rbcL gene sequences. Samples were collected from the exploration within the area of South Sumatra, such as Provinces of Bengkulu, Lampung and South Sumatra. The DNA extraction was carried out using the modified CTAB method, followed by DNA amplification using rbcL-specific primers, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. The phylogenetic trees were reconstructed using the PAUP* version 4.0b10 by using the method of Maximum Parsimony (MP) and Neighbor Joining (NJ). Cladogram of the MP tree showed two clades that the clad I consisted of M. foetida (Macang lonjong) and M. foetida (Macang lado) cultivars, whereas clad II consisted of M. foetida (Macang bulat) cultivar. The NJ tree showed that M. foetida (Macang bulat) has a longer genetic distance so it is considered as a more primitive cultivar than others. Therefore, information and evidences from the taxonomic status of the M. foetida cultivars were obtained from this study.
SEBARAN POPULASI Cobaea scandens CAV. SEBAGAI TUMBUHAN INVASIF DI KEBUN RAYA CIBODAS DAN SEKITARNYA

Published: April 2019

AbstrakCobaea scandens Cav. (Polemoniaceae) merupakan tumbuhan riparian dari Meksiko yang telah lama ditanam di Kebun Raya Cibodas (KRC). Jenis tersebut dilaporkan sebagai tumbuhan invasif di beberapa negara. Sebagai tumbuhan invasif, jenis tersebut dapat mengancam ekosistem sekitar sehingga pertumbuhannya perlu dikendalikan. Meskipun demikian, informasi mengenai keberadaannya di KRC dan sekitarnya masih sedikit. Oleh karena itu, dalam makalah ini diuraikan mengenai sebaran populasi di kawasan KRC dan sekitarnya, dalam rangka mencari rekomendasi yang tepat dalam upaya pengendaliannya. Pengamatan dilakukan menggunakan metode survei dengan pengambilan sampel secara purposive sampling, terutama di kawasan riparian dan hutan restan KRC dan Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango (TNGGP). Hasilnya, terdapat sembilan titik populasi C. scandens terutama di Sungai Ciwalen yang juga melintasi TNGGP. Secara ekologi, C. scandens tumbuh pada habitat yang terbuka hingga sedikit naungan, daerah yang basah, di tepian sungai dan hutan restan pada ketinggian 1.255 hingga 1.425 mdpl. Cobaea scandens tumbuh memanjat pada pohon tegakan atau semak dan membentuk tutupan yang lebat di atas permukan tumbuhan bawah, sehingga dapat mengancam tumbuhan lokal di kawasan tersebut. Dari hasil yang diperoleh, rekomendasi yang disarankan adalah melakukan eradikasi secara mekanis, terutama sebelum musim buah terjadi,untuk menurunkan kelimpahan jenis dan mencegah proses regenerasinya dapat terjadi. Abstract Cobaea scandens Cav. (Polemoniaceae), anriparian species from Mexico, were cultivated in Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG) for a long years ago. This species was reported as invasive species in several countries. As an invasive plant, this species can be threaten the surrounding ecosystem, so the growth need to be controlled. However, there is a few information of this species in CBG and its surrounding. Therefore, this paper described the population distribution of C. scandens at CBG and its surroundings, in order to find appropriate recommendation for the control efforts. Observation was conducted by survey method with purposive sampling, especially riparian and remnant forest areas. Based on our observations showed that C. scandens is fast growing on opens habitats to slighty shade, with high humidity. At least, there are nine population plot of C. scandens especially in the Ciwalen River, which also crosses in National Park of Mt. Gede Pangrango (TNGGP) areas. Ecologically, C. scandens grows in open area or slightly shaded, wet, in river banks and remnant forest at 1,255 to 1,425 masl. They can climb a tree or shrubs and forming a dense canopy over understorey, to threaten native species in thus area. From the results, a mechanical eradication effort need to be carried out, especially before fruiting season, to reduce their abundance and prevent the regeneration process from occured.

Increased sensitivity of Euplotes crassus to selective agents using 0.3 M glucose-based culture conditions. v1
Authors: A. Klobutcher Lawrence , Klobutcher Larry
Published: April 2019

Numerous unpublished studies indicate that Euplotes crassus is resistant to extremely high concentrations of commonly used selective agents when grow in artificial seawater. We have found that when E. crassus is grown in 1 part artificial seawater + 9 parts 0.3 M glucose, they are much more sensitive to a number of selective agents. For example, 1080 ug/ml paromomycin in artificial seawater only inhibited growth, as little as 120 ug/ml was effective in killing cells when grown with 0.3 M glucose. Similarly, G418 at 400 ug/ml had little effect in seawater, but as little as 100 ug/ml blocked growth in 0.3 M glucose. This may not prove true for all selective agents, as we saw no effect with paclitaxel up to 100 uM under either growth condition.
Improving Diagnosis in Cognitive Disorders v1
Authors: Mcwhirter Laura , Ritchie Craig , Carson Alan , Stone Jon
Published: April 2019

Functional cognitive disorders are likely to account for a significant proportion of adults presenting with cognitive (memory and thinking) symptoms which are not caused by neurodegenerative disease or structural brain lesions, incorporating those with isolated functional cognitive symptoms, those with primary psychiatric disorders, and those with health anxiety or who attend excessively to normal cognitive lapses. There is a need for improved diagnostic methods to identify those with functional cognitive symptoms so that they might be offered appropriate treatment, protected from iatrogenic harms, and also in order to improve the specificity of prodromal neurodegenerative disease phenotypes. This study aims to identify elements of clinical, neurological, cognitive examination which can, in combination as part of a diagnostic scoring tool, accurately discriminate functional cognitive symptoms from those more likely to be due to neurodegenerative disease. The study will recruit 120 participants with mild or subjective memory symptoms (but not dementia) from memory, neurology, and neuropsychiatry clinics. Each subject will attend for a structured research assessment examining interactional, linguistic, metacognitive features, as well as psychiatric, physical, and sleep disorder comorbidity. Multiple outcomes will be compared with panel consensus diagnosis using discriminant factor analysis. The intention is to follow up medical record / general practice diagnosis at 1-2 years, and ultimately it is hoped that further studies beyond this will re-examine the cohort in the future.

Authors: Sánchez i Peris Francesc J. , Ros Ros Concepción
Published: April 2019

La neurociencia está colaborando de modo eficaz a descubrir las claves del aprendizaje a través del conocimiento de las funciones del cerebro determinando qué partes del mismo hay que estimular para la consecución de qué aprendizajes se pretenda conseguir. Nuestro ensayo pretende aproximarse a determinar las funciones que los videojuegos pueden aportar para conseguir aprendizajes en función de los estímulos que éstos sean capaces de desarrollar en el cerebro. En este sentido intentaremos relacionar las aportaciones de la taxonomía de Bloom a la práctica de videojugar con las características del cerebro que nos descubre la Neurociencia y la Neuroeducación

Published: April 2019

Background: The presence of a foreign body in the esophagus is a challenging problem. Perforations may result in death. Impaction mandates immediate extraction.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was made of all patients hospitalized in Department of ENT, SMGS Hospital with a diagnosis of foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract between July 2017 to February 2018. Forty patients were identified. The charts were reviewed for the following: patient demographics, preoperative diagnosis, kind and location of the foreign body, timing of the procedure and the length of hospitalization.  

Results: The youngest patient in our study was 8 months old while the oldest was 60 years old. The male: female ratio of 2.3:1. The most common site of impaction was cricopharynx (55%) followed by thoracic esophagus (40%) and lower end of esophagus (5%). The most common foreign body was coin (50%) and all were seen in children upto 7 years of age. 25 (62.5%) patients were children of age less than 10 years. 20 children showed coin ingestion, 1 child of 8 months presented with impaction of fruit seed and 4 children with battery button ingestion. The length of retention of foreign body ranged from 2 hours to 6 days. All the patients were managed with rigid esophagoscopy under general anesthesia all within 12 hours of admission.

Conclusions: Rigid endoscope as the instrument of choice for extracting foreign bodies from the esophagus as delay in extracting foreign bodies from the esophagus may lead to retention of foreign body and hence perforation.

Published: April 2019

O tema da formação inicial em Psicologia vem motivando vastos estudos e publicações na área da Psicologia Escolar, especialmente visando maior criticidade à formação e consequente atuação. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar ações de supervisão de estágio profissional com ênfase à formação de psicólogos escolares. Os pressupostos teóricos que embasaram essa formação fundamentam-se na Psicologia Escolar Crítica e na Psicologia histórico-cultural. Serão relatadas experiências de estágio junto a uma psicóloga escolar que trabalha no sistema de ensino público do Distrito Federal e que desenvolve uma atuação institucional com o foco no empoderamento coletivo e no sucesso escolar. As ações de estágio buscaram fortalecer o papel do(a) psicólogo(a) escolar na mediação do desenvolvimento humano e de transformações sócio-políticas prementes nos contextos da educação pública no país. Espera-se com este trabalho contribuir para a ampliação das reflexões acerca do compromisso com a formação em Psicologia Escolar na graduação por meio de uma crítica articulação teoria-prática, contextualizada pela práxis cotidiana de psicólogos(as) que são escolares, e não somente estão na escola.
