ABSTRACT The cultivation of sunflower allows its use as bio-fuel and alternative forage. It is a viable alternative in the semiarid regions. Current study evaluates the effect of saline water use, sources and doses of nitrogen fertilization on the production of sunflower in the experiment conducted in drainage lysimeters between May and August 2012, under protected conditions, at Pombal - PB Brazil. The experiment consisted of a randomized block design, with a 2 x 3 x 4 factorial arrangement and three replications. The treatments consisted of two levels of electrical conductivity of water - ECw (0.3 and 3.0 dS m-1), three sources of nitrogen (urea, ammonium sulfate and calcium nitrate) and four levels of N (40, 80, 120 and 160% of recommended dose - 100 mg kg-1, for trials in pots). Dry mass of chapter (DMC), mass of achenes (MAc), the number of viable seeds (MVS), total number of seeds (TNS) and internal (DCI) and external (DCE) diameter of chapter. Irrigation with water of ECw=3.0 dS m-1 negatively affected all variable evaluated. Doses of N 104 and 160% of recommended dose for trials in pots, resulted in the highest DMC, TNS, DCE and DCI. N sources and the interaction between factors did not affect significantly any of the variable evaluated.

Published: March 2017

Avaliou-se a eficácia da vacina E.coli J5 na prevenção e no controle de mastites causadas por E.coli por meio da análise da prevalência de infecções intramamárias após o parto, ocorrência e intensidade de casos clínicos de mastite nos primeiros 100 dias de lactação, influência na contagem de células somáticas (CCS) e produção de leite. As novilhas, n=131, foram distribuídas em três grupos de animais - vacinados três vezes, vacinados duas vezes e não vacinados. As imunizações ocorreram 60 dias antes do parto, 30 dias antes do parto e na primeira semana pós-parto, esta última só para o grupo de três vacinações. Foram coletadas amostras de leite para diagnóstico microbiológico e avaliação da CCS, e registrados os dados relacionados à ocorrência e à intensidade dos casos clínicos e à produção de leite nos primeiros 100 dias de lactação. Não houve redução na prevalência de E.coli no pós-parto de novilhas vacinadas, e houve redução na ocorrência de casos clínicos por E.coli em novilhas vacinadas. Não foram observadas diferenças entre grupos com relação à CCS. Novilhas vacinadas com as três doses apresentaram maior produção de leite. A vacinação com E.coli J5 foi eficaz em reduzir a ocorrência de casos clínicos nos primeiros 100 dias da lactação, mas não interferiu na prevalência de infecções intramamárias após o parto, na intensidade de casos clínicos e na CCS.

Published: March 2017

The aims of this study were to evaluate the incidence of mutans streptococci (MS - sessile form) on complete maxillary dentures after use of a specific denture paste, and to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and maximum inhibitory dilution (MID) of 3 oral mouthrinses: Cepacol, Plax and Periogard. Seventy-seven complete denture wearers were randomly assigned into 2 groups, according to the product used for denture cleaning: Control group - conventional dentifrice (Kolynos-Super White); and Test group: experimental denture cleaning paste. Denture biofilm was collected at baseline and after 90 and 180 days after treatment by brushing the dentures with saline solution. After decimal serial dilution, samples were seeded onto agar sucrose bacitracin to count colonies with morphological characteristics of MS. MS identification was performed by the sugar fermentation tests. After this procedure, brain heart infusion broth (BHI) was added to oral mouthrinses (Plax, Cepacol e Periogard) and seeded on Petri dishes. The colonies were seeded using the Steers multiplier and, after the incubation, the MIC and MID of the mouthrinses were calculated. The results showed an incidence of 74.0% (n=57) of MS in the 77 complete dentures examined in the study, being 76.3% (n=29) of the Control group (conventional dentifrice) and 71.8% (28) of the Test group (experimental denture cleaning paste). In both groups, the number of positive cases for MS decreased from day 0 to day 180. In the Test group there was a slight decrease in the incidence of Streptococcus mutans 90 days after use of the experimental denture cleaning paste, which was not observed in the Control group. As regards to mouthrinses, for both groups, Periogard showed antimicrobial action with the highest dilution, followed by Cepacol and Plax. In conclusion, the incidence of MS in complete dentures was high and Periogard was the mouthrinse with the strongest antimicrobial action against MS. The experimental denture cleaning paste showed a slight action against S. mutans after 90 days of treatment.

The mineralogical and fabric analysis of ancient pottery artifacts
Authors: Palanivel R. , Rajesh Kumar U.
Published: March 2017

The present investigation is carried out to estimate the firing temperature and conditions of firing of ancient pottery shreds excavated recently from Sembiankandiyur, Tamil Nadu, India. FTIR and XRD studies have been attempted on these shreds to characterize the mineral composition of the pottery artifacts in respect of their different physical attributes. The firing temperature and conditions were inferred from the mineral phases of the samples exhibited by the infrared spectra and X-ray diffractograms recorded in as received state. TG-DTA is the complementary technique to elucidate the firing temperature from the thermal characteristic reactions such as dehydration, decomposition and transformations of minerals under the controlled firing of the samples in inert atmosphere.

Time as an integrating factor in a family in foreign researches
Authors: Gorodilina M.V.
Published: March 2017

The article provides an overview of foreign researches examining family relationships as presented in the family members’ memory. The researches regard the family as a social group represented by the nuclear family’s interpersonal relationships, as well as inter-generational relationships, which determines the mechanism and the establishment of its identity. The family is considered a complex unity of "systems in time". The article describes foreign experience of studying the concepts of family time by analyzing family narratives and autobiographical material. The methods professionals use to study the family time and the involvement of everyone in active construction of family history texts, family practices and rituals of socio-psychological value, are explained in the article. The methodologies of the following questionnaires were analyzed: “The family routines inventory” by E.W. Jensen, S.A. James, W.T. Boyce and S.A. Hartnett; “The family ritual questionnaire” by B.H. Fiesea and C.A. Kline; “Family time questionnaire” by A.S. Ellington.
Socially bold personality in the real communication and Internet communication: the analysis of representations of people of the different age
Authors: Pogodina A.V. , Esaulova K.S.
Published: March 2017

The article is concerned with the results of the study, subject of which is the submis- sion of the respondents of the different age groups about the social and bold personality. Required property of the respondents was the presence in the Internet environment and participation in various social networks. They assessed social and bold personal- ity in such contexts of communication, as real communication and Internet communication. Analyses were undertaken to determine the structural and content features of emotional and semantic representations of the phenomenon of the social and bold personality, depending on the context of communication, but also the detection of age-sensitive representations of the young respondents (19—35 years), middle-aged respondents (36-55 years) and older respondents (from 56 to 70 years). The concept of the “social and bold personality in real communion” is shown to have a high semantic relevance, strongly marked positive emotional coloration and a similar factor structure for respondents of all age groups. The concept of the “social and bold personality in online communication” with a high semantic significance in the perception of the young respondents moves into a zone of moderate and semantic importance in representations of the middle-aged and older respondents. In representations of the respondents of all age groups, the attractiveness of the "social and bold personality in Internet communication" is less than in comparison with the "social and bold personality in the real communication". The age-specific of the social representations about social and bold personality in the real and virtual communication has been analysed in detail.
Individual Self-Regulation styles as the source of stress resistance in foster parents
Authors: Aldasheva A.A. , Zelenova M.E. , Runets O.V.
Published: March 2017

The article presents the results of an empirical study that looks into correlations between the person's behavioral self-regulation styles and the level of their stress resistance. The research demonstrates that the amount to which the self-regulation system components are formed may indicate the ability of foster parents to overcome social stress factors and various difficult situations taking place in foster families. Specific traits of foster parents' self-regulation styles in comparison to that of ordinary parents were discovered. The differences between individual self-regulation styles in foster parents and paramedics — both groups belonging to socionomic aid specialists — were examined. "The Social Readjustment Rating Scale" by T.H Holmes and R.H. Rahe was used to measure the level of stress. Specific traits of different self-regulation styles were examined with the help of V.I. Morosanova’s “Behavior self-regulation style” method.

Published: March 2017

Background: The recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as two and more failed pregnancies as documented by ultrasound and histopathological examination and suggested some assessment after each loss with a thorough evaluation after three or more losses. RPL is one of the most frustrating and difficult areas in reproductive medicine because the aetiology is often unknown and there are few evidence based diagnostic and treatment strategies.Methods: 150 Non pregnant females were taken as both cases and controls in the study. All the pregnancy losses were documented by ultrasound or histological examination after uterine curettage. The control group consisted of women with no RPL with at least one live birth. These two groups were matched on the basis of age and BMI. All the women underwent following examinations, viz. Hysterosalpingography, karyotype of both partners, serum TSH, FT4, prolactin and antibodies for APLA. In addition blood sample were taken for fasting serum glucose and serum insulin level later insulin resistance was calculate using three parameters Fasting insulin > 20IU/ml. Diagnostic of Insulin Resistance. (2) Fasting glucose / Fasting insulin. A ratio of < 4.5 being diagnostic of insulin resistance. (3) HOMA IR.        FG (mg/dl) x FPI (IU/ml) FG (mmol/l) x FPI (IU/ml)------------------------------------ OR -----------------------------------                                             405 22.5Where 1 mmol/l = 18mg/dl, A value of > 4.5 being diagnostic of insulin resistance.Results: 150 patients were enrolled in this study among which 75 were selected as cases and 75 as controls after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria with mean age cases group was28.4+2.37 years and 29.1+2.70 years in control group mean miscarriage rate in study group was 3.17+83 and control group with 0.35+0.48 with statistically significant difference. Mean fasting glucose (96.5+ 7.86) mg/dl, Fasting Insulin (14.1±5.91) IU/ml. Mean Glucose Insulin ratio (8.1±3.39), HOMA-IR (3.4 ±1.51) in the study group and in control group mean fasting glucose was (87.1+11.49) mg/dl, Fasting Insulin (6.9 ± 4.99) IU/ml. Mean Glucose Insulin ratio (17.8 ±11.44), HOMA-IR (1.5 ±1.27) respectively with statistically significant difference.Conclusions: In women with recurrent pregnancy loss fasting insulin and insulin resistance are higher than those in women without spontaneous abortion. The most sensitive parameter for calculating insulin resistance was found to be fasting insulin followed by HOMA – IR and followed by fasting glucose/fasting insulin ratio. It is therefore important to recommend a fasting insulin and fasting glucose level while evaluating a case of recurrent pregnancy loss to assess for insulin resistance.
Risk of malignancy index in ovarian tumour for predicting ovarian malignancy by using Jacob’s score
Authors: P. S. Rao , Reenu Bala , Prajwal S.
Published: March 2017

Background: Ovarian malignancy is the most common gynecological malignancy after the cancer of the cervix. A woman's risk at birth of ovarian cancer at some time in her life is 1 % to 1.5% and that of dying from cancer is almost 0.5 %. The most commonly occurring ovarian tumors are of epithelial in origin. It has the highest case-fatality ratio of all gynecological malignancies. Hence the early diagnosis is the most important factor for better prognosis. A clinical evaluation of the patient, followed by ultrasonography and CA-125 is helpful. This study aims to determine the role of Risk of Malignancy Index (Jacob’s RMI) in ovarian tumors for prediction of ovarian malignancy.Methods: This is a prospective cohort study. The present study was carried out at department of OBG, in collaboration with the Departments of Radio diagnosis and Pathology, AHRR, New Delhi. 100 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered. Detailed clinical history, examination and ultrasonography (Abdomen and pelvis) were done. Estimation of CA125 was done thereafter. Calculated JACOBS RMI score was compared with operative surgical staging and histopathological-cytological examination of the specimen. Data obtained thereafter was analysed using appropriate and relevant statistical software.Results: In present study sensitivity of RMI Score in the pre-menopausal women was 66.7% and in post-menopausal women was 83.3%. Specificity of RMI Score in the pre-menopausal women was 96.3% and in post-menopausal women was 81.8%. The positive predictive value in the pre-menopausal women was 40% and in post-menopausal women was 71.4%. The negative predictive value in the pre-menopausal women was 98.7% and in post-menopausal women was 90%. Diagnostic accuracy in a case of premenopausal women was is 95.2% and 82.4% for postmenopausal women.Conclusions: The present study shows that RMI Score helps in identifying effectively those patients who require Staging Laparotomy and hence referral to Gynecologist Oncologist. Patients with ovarian masses with low risk of malignancy index can be treated by minimal access procedures.
Comparative study of uterine repair during caesarean section: exteriorization repair versus in-situ repair
Authors: Priya Lakshmi , P. Reddi Rani , B Lopamudra
Published: March 2017

Background: Cesarean section is one of the most common major obstetrical operation performed worldwide and the rates of cesarean section are increasing. It is associated with both intra-operative and post-operative complications. Many variations in surgical methods have been devised to decrease the adverse effects and morbidity. One such method is technique of uterine repair after delivery of the fetus and placenta by exteriorizing the uterus or in-situ repair.Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at MGMCRI Pondicherry over 18 months from March 2015 to August 2016. Two hundred women undergoing caesarean section were assigned to 2 groups. Group 1 (Exteriorization) 100 women and Group 2 (In-situ repair) 100 women. Intra-op and post-operative complications were assessed in both groups and compared.Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to age, parity, gestational age and type of cesarean section. There was no significant difference between two groups with regard to fall in Hb, operating time, mean drop in pulse rate and blood pressure, nausea, vomiting and intra-op pain. There was significant difference in blood loss during surgery in in-situ repair, P value was <0.001 highly significant and also statistically significant increase in transfusion rates in in-situ group with a p value of 0.038. Postoperative complications like febrile morbidity was significantly more in in-situ repair P=0.046. There was no significant difference in other variables like urinary tract infection, surgical site infection, endometritis and hospital stay.Conclusions: Both techniques are accepted methods of uterine repair. Technique of repair depends on surgeon’s choice and clinical situation. Exteriorization repair is a valid option with no significant increase in morbidity compared to In-situ repair especially in cases where exposure of lower uterine segment is difficult, there is extension of incision and difficulty in achieving hemostasis.

Authors: Guru Mahesweta , Deshmukh Prasad Yeshwant
Published: March 2017

Background: Infertility is agonising condition. Tuberculosis is an important health problem worldwide. One third of the world’s population is currently affected with tuberculosis. Hysterolaparoscopy is a well-recognized procedure for the diagnosis of infertility. Culture for TB bacilli is the gold standard for diagnosis of genital TB.Methods: Infertile women undergoing dilatation and curettage with hysterolaparoscopy with normal husband semen analysis as a part of their infertility workup at M. G. M. Medical Hospital, Kalamboli. Sample size: 30.Results: Incidence of GTB=22.85%, 25-29 year followed by 35-40 years’ age group was the most common age group was observed. In our study, 74.3% infertility pattern was primary, 25.7% were secondary only 2.85 % (n =1) of the cases of GTB were diagnosed by using TB BACTEC. Laparoscopic findings su0ggested that 18 cases had normal findings and 8 cases had laparoscopic features suggestive of GTB. On chromo pertubation, delayed and absent spillage of the dye was seen in 2 cases. On Hysteroscopy, 29 cases (82.9%) of the patients had normal findings and 3 cases had Hysteroscopic features suggestive of GTB.Conclusions: Genital tuberculosis remains an important under diagnosed cause of infertility. Though culture is considered as gold standard for diagnosis of genital tuberculosis, since GTB is paucibacillary there is an urgent need for more research to come to conclusion whether culture is still gold standard. Further research is required to detect the most sensitive method for diagnosis.

Published: March 2017

Background: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of deaths of women due to malignancies in developing countries world-wide. Having a latency period of upto10 years, pre-invasive lesions of cervix give us a wide margin for detection and treatment before it becomes cancerous. It has been estimated that even after putting in all the resources it’s not possible to screen one fourth of the population of women in India. This is the aim of this study to establish a pattern of prevalence of these pre-invasive lesions and find out correlation with various epidemiological factors and establish best screening modality in low resourse settings like ours. Curcuminoids are the extract of curcuma longa, and it has been found to have myriad effects like anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and anti-cancerous as well. In this study we have tried to determine its effect on precancerous lesions of the cervix.Methods: In this study, patients coming to the OPD of the Gynaecology Department with various complaints like vaginal discharge and post coital bleeding etc were subjected to en VIA examination (visual inpection with acetic acid), and cytology. Selected cases were subjected to colposcopy and biopsy, which is taken as gold standard in the study. The cases were studied in terms of their epidemiologic charecterestics. The diagnostic accuracy of VIA and cytology was assessed using colposcopy and biopsy as the gold standard, chi square test applied and power of the screening test calculated.Results: 226 cases were subjected to VIA examination, using freshly prepared 5% acetic acid .105(46.5%) cases were VIA positive. Same no of cases were also subjected to cytological evaluation. Upon cytological evaluation, 21(9.3%) had a normal cytology, 158(69.9%) were inflammatory, 3(1.3%) had ASCUS, 1(0.4%) had AGUS, 26(11.6%) had LSIL and koilocytic changes, 11(4.9%) had HSIL, and 6 cases (2.6%) had squamous cell carcinoma. Abnormal cytology (47/226) was mostly found in age group 30-40 29/47 (61.7%), were para 2 to 4 34/47 (72.3%), belonged to class IV-V socioeconomic class 28(59.6%), belonged to rural areas 32/47(68%) were illiterate 29/47(61.7%) were married at a young age 15-17 23/47(49%) and were not using any contraception 22/47(46.8%).Conclusions: Cervical cancer being one of the most easily preventable cancer owing to the easy accessibility of the cervix to the clinician, and easy screening methods available, is amenable to eradication of the disease one day.

Published: March 2017

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. This study aims at determining the efficacy of the glibenclamide versus insulin in achieving the adequate glycemic control and to analyze the maternal and fetal outcomes and to determine the failure rate of glibenclamide, patient compliance and overall cost of the treatmentMethods: This study was carried out for a period of 22 months at Command Hospital Air Force, Bangalore in Dept. of OBG. Women with GDM whose glycemic control was not achieved with medical nutrition therapy with fasting blood sugar (FBS) values >105mg/dl and 2hour post prandial blood sugar (PP) value >140mg/dl were selected and randomized for treatment either glibenclamide or insulin (50 in each group).Results: The age of the patients in this study ranged from 23 to 33 years. The mean age in glibenclamide group was 27.32 (SD ± 2.84) where as in insulin group was 26.30 (SD ± 3.01). The mean plasma glucose level achieved with glibenclamide was fasting -87.62 mg/dl, post prandial -116.44 mg/dl, before lunch - 95.62mg/dl, after lunch -115.80 mg/dl, before dinner-91.96 mg/dl, after dinner - 116.64 mg/dl, 3AM - 84.42 mg/dl and next day fasting - 86.30mg/dl in comparison with insulin where fasting- 85.54 mg/dl , post prandial -114.14 mg/dl, before lunch - 87.08, after lunch -112.82 mg/dl, before dinner-86.76 mg/dl and after dinner - 114.18 mg/dl, 3AM - 81.16 mg/dl and next day fasting was 86.72mg/dl which is statistically significant. The incidence of maternal and neonatal morbidities was comparable in both the group. 4 % percent of patient treated with glibenclamide had treatment failure. The cost of the treatment and compliance was better with glibenclamide.Conclusions: It has been concluded that glibenclamide is effective as insulin in achieving adequate glycemic control with no significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
Delayed bleeding after prophylactic bilateral internal iliac artery balloon occlusion in elective caesarean hysterectomy for the management of placenta accreta
Authors: Othman Abdul Karim , Razak Noraslawati , Mat Mohd Hanif Che
Published: March 2017

Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) can be divided into placenta accrete, placenta increta and placenta percreta. It is associated with high parity, multifetal gestation, advanced maternal age, assisted reproductive technologies, placenta previa, and more importantly a history of caesarean section or uterine surgery. Globally, the incidence of placenta accrete has increased and seems to be in parallel with the increasing rate of caesarean section delivery.Despite rapidly evolving diagnostic imaging, and growing of surgical expertise, morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) remains an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, especially related with life-threatening postpartum haemorrhage. Although the choice of treatment for placenta accrete is puerperal hysterectomy, this procedure itself involves a greater risk of intra-operative haemorrhage.Elective caesarean hysterectomy using prophylactic bilateral internal iliac artery balloon occlusion offer an interesting approach which can minimize the risk of intra-operative haemorrhage. However, our case report describes the case of a 28-year old Gravida 3 Para 2 morbidly obese parturient diagnosed to have placenta previa type 3 posterior with accrete who experienced a complication of life threatening massive bleeding post-operatively after an elective caesarean hysterectomy using a prophylactic bilateral internal iliac artery balloon occlusion intra-operatively.
Giant lipoleiomyoma-an intimidating entity: case report and literature review
Authors: Agarwal Poojan , Prasad Shubhra , Chauhan Devender Singh , Rao Adla Satya Narayan
Published: March 2017

Lipomatous uterine neoplasms are extremely uncommon lesions with a reported incidence of 0.01% to 0.2%. These lesions frequently pose a diagnostic challenge not only for the clinician but also for radiologists and pathologists alike. Diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary as well as multimodality approach. A 42-year-old peri-menopausal lady presented with abdominal distension, pain and irregular menstrual bleeding. On radiology, an intra-abdodominal hetergenous mass was seen suggestive of neoplastic etiology, possibly intraperitoneal liposarcoma. Microscopy revealed numerous adipocyte clusters intersecting the smooth muscle bundles, diagnostic of lipoleiomyoma. The present case is unusual as the patient had both intramural and broad ligament lipoleiomyoma. Through the present case we revisit clinical and morphological findings of lipoleiomyomas along with review of cases published in literature till date.

Effect of NaCl and Na2SO4 salinities and light conditions on seed germination of purslane (Portulaca oleracea Linn.)
Authors: Baburao A. Karadge Vishal V. Naik,
Published: March 2017

Portulaca oleracea Linn., commonly known as purslane, is a C4 succulent and salt tolerant weed. The present work was focused on the seed germination of purslane under different levels of NaCl and Na2SO4 (25, 50, 100 and 200 mM) salinity along with continuous dark and light conditions. Results indicated that both salinity treatments had negative impact on seed germination under both light conditions. Interestingly, seed germination percentage of purslane was high under both salinity treatments and continuous light conditions as compared to dark conditions. The differential response of purslane’s seed germination under NaCl and Na2SO4 salinity and light conditions suggests weediness of this plant under adverse environmental conditions. The present work might be helpful for agricultural practices dealing with the problem of this weed.
Desejo de educar?
Authors: Lemos Maria Teresa Guimarães de
Published: March 2017

Podemos reconhecer na atualidade a circulação de um discurso que quer denunciar novos impasses na educação: as referências mais comuns são a queda da autoridade simbólica do professor e a redefinição dos lugares educador-aluno (operando neste último uma identificação aos direitos de consumidor ou usuário). A análise apresentada aqui, que não se preocupa em estabelecer o caráter de verdade ou falsidade dos enunciados desse discurso, mas sim com o de suas conseqüências, propõe que ele seja entendido como uma “queixa” ou “demanda” (utilizando-se a noção lacaniana do termo). Como toda demanda, ele desconhece a falta que a produz. O texto propõe analisar esta falta/impossível que habita a prática educativa, tomando primeiramente a concepção freudiana de educação e, em segundo lugar, a positividade lógica desses termos no ensino de Lacan.
O feminino materno e o masculino filial: as dificuldades de aprendizagem como sintoma na criança
Authors: Nascimento Lílian Cristine Ribeiro , Monteiro Francisca Paula Toledo
Published: March 2017

O presente artigo versa sobre alguns sintomas apresentados por crianças que freqüentam a clínica fonoaudiológica e pedagógica, sintomas estes que se manifestam como alterações da linguagem oral e/ou escrita, os quais buscamos interrogar a partir da psicanálise. Apresentamos quatro casos de meninos nos quais uma relação simbiótica com a mãe era mantida e se evidenciava por relatos e atitudes infantilizadas para com criança. Relatamos como o trabalho pedagógico e fonoaudiológico baseado na perspectiva psicanalítica possibilitou modificações na relação materno – filial e permitiu à criança deslocar seus sintomas na aprendizagem.
A transferência nos atendimentos breves de orientação psicanalítica
Authors: Costardi Gabriela Gomes , Souza Soraya
Published: March 2017

Esse trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a especificidade da transferência em psicoterapia breve. A metodologia utilizada é um estudo de caso. A relação de reciprocidade estabelecida inicialmente pela dupla terapêutica demarcou o espaço psicoterápico como um lugar de ‘palavra vazia’ e o cliente só pôde falar do que lhe fazia sofrer quando a estagiária saiu do lugar de sujeito que ocupava na relação. Esse deslocamento teve um efeito terapêutico para o cliente, que se fez marcar pela subtração da palavra. "Quem fala perde"(sic). Perder este lugar-sintoma foi o efeito resultante deste tratamento. Conclui-se que a proposta dos atendimentos breves de orientação psicanalítica opera a partir da sustentação do cliente enquanto sujeito do tratamento.
Crítica aos fundamentos da psicologia em Politzer: psicanálise e psicologia concreta
Authors: Pastre José Luiz
Published: March 2017

O artigo apresenta uma leitura do livro Crítica aos fundamentos da psicologia, de Georges Politzer. Nele, Politzer realizou sua leitura da obra A Interpretação dos Sonhos, de Freud, para construir as bases do que denominou psicologia concreta. O propósito é acompanhar o movimento que Politzer fez para demonstrar a sobrevivência da abstração na psicologia nascente, mas, também, acompanhando o movimento que ele fez para mostrar as potências dessa nova psicologia. Para acompanhar esse movimento, consideramos três conjuntos de questões, que aparecem no livro de Politzer como sendo importantes para que a nova psicologia possa constituir-se: a definição do fato psicológico; definição de um método; e, criação de noções próprias.
Produtividade científica: impactos na normalização e na comunicação científica
Authors: Ribeiro Célia Maria , Santos Raimundo Nonato Macedo dos
Published: March 2017

Analisar das novas tendências na área de normalização no que se refere à apresentação dos trabalhos acadêmicos do tipo teses e dissertações. O universo da pesquisa é a área de ciências biológicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, no período de 1999 a 2005. Dada a importância da padronização para que a comunicação científica se efetive, destaca-se a necessidade de formular diretrizes mais consistentes para orientar os pesquisadores, de forma a atender tanto aos critérios de avaliação de produtividade científica como aos requisitos da qualidade formal das publicações. A aplicação de método qualitativo, por meio de entrevistas com os coordenadores de pós-graduação e bibliotecários da área leva a algumas reflexões sobre o papel do bibliotecário, das agências de normalização e dos órgãos de financiamento da pesquisa nesse novo cenário.

Published: March 2017

Este estudo enfoca como a informática pode auxiliar portadores de necessidades especiais que possuem dificuldades de aprendizado e raciocínio, visto que a tecnologia da informação quando utilizada de forma planejada e bem estruturada permite maior absorção de conceitos e crescimento cultural, devido à gama de informações que proporciona. Este crescimento visa compreender a formação de todos os tipos de deficientes, sejam eles visuais, mentais, auditivos, paraplégicos, etc. Para portadores de necessidades especiais esta realidade se torna ainda mais importante, pois não serão excluídos da sociedade, que hoje vive essa nova era da informação e globalização, onde a tecnologia muda a cada instante. Por meio de um enfoque integrado da visão sistêmica, o presente estudo buscou compreender o projeto do Centro de Atendimento a Pessoas com Deficiências / SMAC (CAPD), procurando analisar como a tecnologia de informação pode transformar a vida sociocultural destes indivíduos. Para coleta de dados foram utilizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, que permitiram a avaliação das fases do desenvolvimento e as mudanças na realidade dos envolvidos. Foram identificados os fatores que comprovam a viabilidade e a eficiência das tecnologias quando inseridas na rotina dos deficientes e seus familiares.
Concepções de alunos do curso de psicopedagogia a respeito das dificuldades de aprendizagem
Authors: Guimarães Karina Perez , Saravali Eliane Giachetto
Published: March 2017

Neste trabalho apresentamos um recorte de uma pesquisa que investiga as idéias e concepções de psicopedagogos e pedagogos em relação às dificuldades de aprendizagem. Analisamos aqui as respostas de estudantes dos cursos de Psicopedagogia de instituições particulares do interior do estado de São Paulo e Minas Gerais. Foram selecionados aleatoriamente estudantes que estavam no início, no meio e no final do curso de especialização, totalizando 52 sujeitos participantes da pesquisa. Todos os sujeitos responderam a um questionário contendo nove questões discursivas. Apresentaremos aqui os dados referentes a três delas: 1) O que é dificuldade de aprendizagem; 2) Em que momento você julga necessário encaminhar um aluno para atendimento especializado? 3) Você já encontrou em sua prática alunos com dificuldades de aprendizagem? Se sim, emita um parecer sobre uma criança, seu aluno, que apresentou dificuldade. Se não, explique hipoteticamente. Os dados obtidos a partir das respostas foram categorizados segundo a análise de conteúdo e análise estatística simples. Os principais resultados indicam que 56% dos futuros psicopedagogos acreditam que a dificuldade de aprendizagem refere-se sempre e somente a uma incapacidade do sujeito que não aprende; 46% sentem-se incapazes diante do quadro de um aluno que não aprende e não sabem intervir, necessitando recorrer a atendimentos especializados e 33% descrevem alunos com dificuldades de aprendizagem como aqueles que possuem problemas relacionados aos conteúdos abordados em sala de aula, principalmente matemática e leitura e escrita. Estes dados iniciais apresentam as idéias e concepções que futuros profissionais têm e chamam a atenção para a importância da discussão destes temas nos cursos de formação de psicopedagogos.

A diáspora Guaná (Terena) no pós-guerra da tríplice aliança e os reflexos em seus territórios no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul
Authors: Sebastião Lindomar Lili
Published: March 2017

O presente trabalho propõe-se a apresentar um estudo realizado entre o povo indígena Terena de tronco linguístico Aruak, subgrupo Guaná. Esse povo habita, em sua grande maioria, o Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, com aproximadamente vinte e três mil habitantes. Falantes, em sua maioria, da língua de origem, atualmente lutam pela demarcação e homologação de seus territórios tradicionais dos quais foram expulsos e confinados em pequenas reservas criadas pelo governo, em atuação conjunta com o SPI- Serviço de Proteção ao Índio, em tempos do pós-guerra da Tríplice Aliança. Para tanto, buscamos na memória de nossos velhos, os anciões, as informações para este estudo, usando a história oral e os trabalhos escritos por pesquisadores nas áreas de antropologia, história e arqueologia, a fim de compreender o processo de expropriação de seus territórios até os dias atuais. Dessa forma, pontuaremos as suas reais consequências, os reflexos nos seus éthos, na sua reprodução física e cultural, bem como a violência sofrida atualmente.
Reflexão e militância: Aracy Lopes da Silva e o Plano Nacional de Educação
Authors: Grupioni Luis Donisete Benzi
Published: March 2017

É difícil pensar num tema que imponha ao mesmo tempo tantos desafios à reflexão antropológica e à militância indigenista como a questão da escola entre povos indígenas. É por ter enfrentado ambos que a antropóloga Aracy Lopes da Silva é considerada uma referência marcante no campo da educação indígena que pode ser acompanhada, desde os anos 1970, quando esteve à frente da Subcomissão de Educação da Comissão Pró-Índio de São Paulo, até os anos 2000, quando finalizou um conjunto de coletâneas que difundiu os resultados de uma ampla pesquisa temática sobre Antropologia, História e Educação, por ela coordenada na Universidade de São Paulo. Nesse espectro de tempo, vemos uma antropóloga profundamente comprometida com o rigor da disciplina, que abraçou com entusiasmo, e com uma causa, na qual militou com vigor, sendo reconhecida dentro e fora da academia. Se reflexão e militância não raro se imbricam e se misturam, quase sempre uma comprometendo a outra, a produção e a atuação de Aracy Lopes da Silva sobre educação indígena revelam que ela soube, como poucos, administrá-las, tecendo elos e interfaces quando cabiam, preservando searas quando eram necessárias.
