Inteligência emocional: Contributos adicionais para a validação de um instrumento de medida
Authors: Rego Arménio , Fernandes Cláudia 
Published: December 2015

O artigo faculta evidência empírica adicional para a validação de um instrumento de medida da Inteligência Emocional sugerido por Rego e Fernandes (no prelo). Os indivíduos da primeira amostra foram convidados a responder ao questionário sugerido por esses investigadores e a declarar os seus níveis de saúde- doença física. Os indivíduos da segunda amostra, após reportarem os seus níveis de IE, foram convidados a declarar o grau de satisfação com a vida. Os resultados sugerem uma estrutura hexafactorial da IE: (1) compreensão das emoções próprias; (2) autocontrolo perante as críticas; (3) auto-encorajamento (uso das emoções); (4) autocontrolo emocional; (5) empatia; (6) compreensão das emoções dos outros. Estas seis dimensões explicam 14% da variância da medida de saúde física e 26% da variância da satisfação com a vida. Embora similar à extraída por Rego e Fernandes, a dimensionalização aqui obtida denota algumas vantagens relativamente a ela. Designadamente, os conteúdos semânticos dos itens relativos a cada factor são agora mais claros e congruentes com a denominação dos factores.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v19i1/2.401

Authors: Canavarro M. Cristina , Dias Pedro , Lima Vânia 
Published: December 2015

O presente artigo, numa primeira parte, procura esclarecer algumas questões conceptuais em torno do conceito de vinculação do adulto. Seguidamente são referidas algumas implicações dos tópicos abordados para a avaliação da vinculação do adulto, assim como debatidos alguns aspectos mais polémicos associados às metodologias utilizadas. Por último, focando a avaliação da vinculação do adulto através de questionários de auto-resposta, apresentam-se alguns dos estudo psicométricos realizados em Portugal com a Adult Attachment Scale-R (Collins & Read, 1990), que na versão portuguesa recebe a designação de Escala de Vinculação do Adulto (EVA).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v20i1.381
Regulações psicossociais na organização de crenças sobre a inteligência: relações entre representações sociais de inteligência e concepções pessoais de inteligência
Authors: Amaral Virgílio 
Published: December 2015

No presente trabalho analisam-se os processos que regulam a organização de crenças sobre a inteligência em adolescentes, nomeadamente a influência da “familiaridade” com o objecto de representação sobre tais crenças. Os resultados mostram que os sujeitos para os quais as diferenças interindividuais de inteligência constituem algo de inexplicável tendem a explicá-la de modo biológico e a naturalizá-la, sob a forma de uma teoria implícita dos dons (desigualmente) naturais. Investigam-se, ainda, as relações entre o princípio da “familiaridade” com a inteligência, as representações sociais da inteligência e as concepções pessoais de inteligência. Os resultados mostram que as crenças que postulam a existência de “inteligências alternativas” às definidas pela instituição escolar predizem negativamente as concepções estáticas e positivamente as concepções dinâmicas. Verifica-se, também, que a crença nas “desigualdades naturais” da inteligência é hegemónica, sendo partilhada quer pelos sujeitos estáticos, quer pelos dinâmicos.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v20i2.391
Definições sexuais dos estudantes universitários
Authors: Alvarez Maria-João , Nogueira João 
Published: December 2015

O objectivo deste estudo foi o de clarificar, através de questionários, que comportamentos se associam a ter sexo, a parceiro sexual, e a infidelidade e explorar factores preditores das definições encontradas, comparando os resultados de uma amostra de 152 estudantes universitários portugueses com os resultados de amostras de outros países. Ter relações sexuais revelou-se sinónimo de relações pénis-vagina (>95%) e de sexo anal (91-92%). Ao contrário de resultados encontrados noutras amostras, os contactos orogenitais foram considerados como uma forma de ter sexo (78-84%). A amplitude das definições mostrou-se diferente, sendo possível ter um comportamento de infidelidade sem ser um parceiro sexual e ser considerado um parceiro sexual sem que exista sexo entre duas pessoas. Encontraram-se poucas diferenças, de acordo com o género, e a existência de orgasmo afectou as definições de ter sexo e de parceiro sexual. Conclui-se ser essencial explicitar o que se entende pelos termos sexuais utilizados na investigação e discutem-se implicações para a prevenção de comportamentos sexuais de risco.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v22i1.338
A distinção entre emoção aparente e real no faz-de-conta e em situações de engano
Authors: Sidera Francesc , Martí Eduard , Gabucio Fernando 
Published: December 2015

A compreensão das crianças acerca da distinção entre emoção aparente e real foi avaliada através de uma tarefa de engano e de uma tarefa de faz-de-conta. Em cada tarefa. As crianças entre os 5 e os 7 anos ouviram uma história e foram inquiridas acerca das emoções internas e externas do protagonista. O procedimento permitiu que as crianças mostrassem a compreensão dessa distinção a nível espontâneo e após questionamento explícito. As crianças tiveram grande dificuldade em fazer a distinção em qualquer uma das tarefas. No entanto, tiveram um melhor desempenho quando foram questionadas explicitamente acerca da possibilidade de as emoções internas e externas do protagonista serem diferentes. De um modo global, as crianças com 7 anos de idade compreenderam melhor a distinção do que as crianças de 5 anos. Mais importante, não houve diferenças entre as tarefas de engano e de faz-de-conta. Uma possível explicação é a de que a compreensão dessa distinção desenvolve-se em simultâneo em ambos os tipos de situações. É discutida a importância da compreensão das emoções através do faz-de-conta para um entendimento da distinção entre emoção real e aparente. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v22i2.345
Reconhecimento de Expressões Faciais de Emoções Sociais: Existe Diferença Entre Homens e Mulheres?
Authors: Simão Cláudia P. , Justo Mariline , Martins Ana Teresa 
Published: December 2015

O comportamento social é maioritariamente regulado pela expressão e reconhecimento de emoções sociais, considerando que o processamento emocional está distribuído diferentemente pelas relações e papéis de género. Para analisar esta diferença, o presente estudo focalizou-se nas diferenças de género no reconhecimento de emoções sociais. Com recurso a um paradigma de reconhecimento emocional, foram seleccionadas três emoções sociais (arrogância, culpa e ciúme) e avaliadas por 60 participantes (30 homens e 30 mulheres). Os resultados obtidos sugerem que homens e mulheres diferem no reconhecimento de emoções sociais. De um modo geral, as mulheres apresentam uma acuidade mais elevada, assim como tempos de reacção inferiores, sugerindo que o processamento emocional evolui baseado nos papéis de género, como forma de regular o comportamento social.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v22i2.347

Although a diet high in vegetables could deliver adequate phylloquinone, supplementation of menaquinone may be necessary for those at risk of CV calcification. Several animal studies and one human study have demonstrated that arterial calcification could be reduced with vitamin K supplementation and there are further trials in progress. Patients on warfarin are particularly prone to CV calcification but there has been concern that supplementation would either counter warfarin treatment or destabilise INR. In fact, studies suggest that low dose phylloquinone did not increase coagulation and may improve the stability of anticoagulant therapy.

Hoarseness of Voice as a Primary Presentation of Pulmonary Hypertension: a Rare case of Ortner’s (Cardio-vocal) Syndrome
Authors: Naeem Kashif , Choondal Vinod 
Published: December 2015

<p><span>Ortner</span><span>’</span><span>s (cardio-vocal) syndrome is a rare disease entity that involves compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve due to enlargement of cardiovascular structures. The syndrome was first described by Norbert Ortner (an Austrian physician) in 1897 and is usually reported to be associated with mitral stenosis. However, we report a rare case when a 20-year-old girl presented with hoarseness of voice and was found to have an enlarged main pulmonary trunk due to pulmonary hypertension that was compressing the left recurrent laryngeal nerve. The case highlights a rare presentation of a relatively common disease and stresses the importance of detailed cardiac workup in a patient with hoarseness of voice. We present the case and review the literature. </span></p>

<p>Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas are rare, typically benign primary cardiac tumors. The pulmonary valve is the least common site for valvular papillary fibroelastomas. They commonly present with dyspnea on exertion and can show right ventricular outflow tract obstruction on echocardiography. Embolic phenomena are one of the most serious consequences. Treatment usually consists of surgical excision. We report the first case of pulmonary emboli from pulmonary valve papillary fibroelastoma treated with anticoagulation. This occurred in only the second case of pulmonary emboli from pulmonary papillary fibroelastoma reported in literature to date.</p>
Regression Analysis of the Left-ventricular Isochoric Pressure Decay of the Heart: Four or Five Model Parameters?
Authors: Langer John 
Published: December 2015

BACKGROUND: Isochoric (isovolumic) cardiac pressure decay data were previously described by a four-parametric logistic (tangens hyperbolicus) regression model (Langer model). However, a five-parametric kinematic model (Chung model), according to the differential equation of damped oscillation, was recently introduced to describe the isochoric pressure fall. The present study clarifies (a/) whether these five parameters can be reliably estimated from empirical pressure decay data and if the model excels the four-parametric one, and (b/) whether the kinematic Chung model validly describes these pressure decays. METHODS: High-fidelity intraventricular pressure decay data from 1203 isolated working guinea pig and rat hearts were analyzed by both models. RESULTS: Most cases present with a higher regression error in the five-parametric kinematic model, the median ratio (F value) of its regression variance by those of the four-parametric logistic model is 1.004 (95 per cent confidence interval: 1.002 to 1.006) in in the guinea pig as well as in the rat group. Additionally, the parameters of both models were estimated from the first and second half of the decay phase separately to check for the models' validity. The five-parametric model yields significantly non-constant parameters more often than the four-parametric model. CONCLUSION: (a) the five parameters of the kinematic Chung model remain underdetermined by the empirical pressure data, and {b) this five-parametric model does not provide a valid description of the isochoric cardiac pressure decay.
Rigorous error propagation for terrestrial laser scanning with application to snow volume uncertainty

Published: December 2015

AbstractEstimates of point-cloud positional accuracies in terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) datasets are currently limited to rudimentary combinations of GPS position error and manufacturer precision specifications. However, rigorous error propagation techniques can be applied to the three-dimensional TLS points and potentially integrated into software visualization and analysis products. Beyond the immediate value of qualitatively observing the distribution of expected TLS errors within a point cloud, rigorously estimated point errors can be further propagated to quantify expected errors in derived products such as point-to-point distance measurements, best-fit planes or volume computations. We review TLS error sources, detail their propagation through a rigid registration and illustrate the application of estimated TLS point errors to propagated snow volume uncertainties for a large and small TLS dataset. The resulting volume errors are of negligible size compared to the volume magnitudes, in no case exceeding 0.007% of the computed snow volume. For a dataset generating a large snow volume, the method of surface representation (e.g. grid or triangulated mesh) was more influential than the estimated TLS point errors on volume uncertainty. This suggests the random errors inherent in TLS measurement techniques are not a limiting factor in achievable snow volume accuracies.
Relation entre fans et marques sur Facebook
Authors: Akrout Houcine , Cathalo Sandrine 
Published: December 2015

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier d’une part, la nature de la qualité relationnelle des communautés virtuelles de marques (CVM) orientées B2C sur Facebook et d’autre, part le type de bénéfices attendus d’une participation à ces communautés. Une étude auprès de 218 fans a été menée et un modèle a été testé par les équations structurelles. La qualité relationnelle d’une communauté virtuelle de marque s’y révèle composée de confiance, d’engagement et de satisfaction. Nos résultats mettent en évidence le rôle positif que joue la participation du consommateur à ces communautés sur la qualité relationnelle des CVM. Nos résultats indiquent également l’influence forte et positive des bénéfices hédoniques tirés de la participation à la communauté sur la perception de la qualité relationnelle de la CVM. Afin de mieux ajuster les dispositifs d’animation de ces relations, des implications managériales sont proposées.
La fabrique du constructivisme
Authors: Rappin Baptiste 
Published: December 2015

L’article se propose de questionner les textes fondateurs du constructivisme dans les sciences de gestion en particulier, et dans les sciences de l’artificiel en général ; nous devons à Jean-Louis Le Moigne d’avoir produit un édifice théorique assurant les fondements de cette épistémologie, notamment en sciences de gestion. Dans un premier temps, nous interrogeons les principaux concepts et auteurs mobilisés par Jean-Louis Le Moigne : comment celui-ci conçoit la réalité ? La causalité ? Le positivisme ? Comment construit-il par ailleurs la généalogie du constructivisme ? La seconde partie est consacrée à l’analyse des tactiques d’argumentation déployées par l’auteur : celles-ci oscillent entre le choix délibéré, l’anachronisme et les glissements herméneutiques. En dernier lieu, nous montrons que les fondements épistémologiques du constructivisme ne peuvent être compris sans référence à ses visées institutionnelles, éthico-politiques et théologiques.
Rosai-Dorfman Disease Isolated to the Thoracic Epidural Spine
Authors: Kozak Benjamin , Talbott Jason , Uzelac Alina , Rehani Bhavya 
Published: December 2015

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare benign histiocytic disease that infrequently presents in the spine. We report a case of Rosai-Dorfman disease isolated to the epidural thoracic spine in a 26-year-old male. To our knowledge, this is the 15th reported case of isolated spinal disease and only the fourth case of isolated thoracic epidural disease. Given its rarity as well as non-specific symptoms and imaging findings, Rosai-Dorfman disease is often not considered and misdiagnosed on imaging studies. To help improve awareness of Rosai-Dorfman spinal disease, we review the literature and discuss the epidemiology, clinical presentation, imaging features, and treatment considerations for this condition.
Prendre les espaces de temps pour maîtriser les impacts diffus générés par les grandes infrastructures de transport terrestre (ITT) sur la biodiversité
Authors: Fourès Jean-Marc , Pech Pierre 
Published: December 2015

Les grandes Infrastructures de Transport Terrestre (ITT) génèrent de multiples impacts sur la biodiversité, depuis les premières transformations du paysage en amont des travaux de construction jusqu’aux effets de la gestion des dépendances vertes en phase d’exploitation. Les travaux scientifiques en road ecology ont permis de spatialiser au gré des recherches la plupart des impacts des ITT sur les milieux naturels et la biodiversité. Dans le contexte territorial français, la loi de 1976 sur les études d’impact, puis les lois Grenelle dans les années 2000 ont établi un cadre réglementaire de plus en plus exigeant. Ce cadre d’études a favorisé l’émergence de nouvelles pratiques d’ingénierie visant à la transparence écologique des ITT suivant la doctrine de l’Evitement-Réduction-Compensation (ERC). Désormais, aménageurs et chercheurs s’interrogent aussi sur la continuité des impacts tout au long des phases de vie des ITT, ainsi que sur les impacts cumulés (mêlant impacts directs, indirects et/ou induits) sur la biodiversité. Les limites spatiales et temporelles des études et des modèles d’impact amènent à s’interroger sur le rôle des riverains dans l’observation de l’environnement. Cet article présente les modèles d’impact et leurs limites, avec l’exemple des Lignes à Grande Vitesse (LGV) françaises, interroge les impacts au prisme du « catastrophisme éclairé », entre expertise et grand public et propose quelques clefs de détermination des impacts diffus (impacts cumulés plus d’éventuels impacts inaperçus) sur la biodiversité. On conclut sur l’intérêt de la notion de diffusion pour penser l’échelle spatiale selon une pluralité de temporalités.

Published: December 2015

Introduction Severe malaria remains a major cause of death and morbidity among adults in the Asiatic tropics. This study was planned to evaluate clinical profile and prognostic indicators of severe malaria in adults so as to improve insight into this highly prevalent disease. Materials and Methods This prospective observational study was conducted on 60 confirmed cases of malaria. Cases were divided into two groups: (a) study group: suffering from severe malaria and (b) control group: no severe manifestations. All cases were thoroughly studied for clinical features, laboratory evaluation, and outcome. Prognostic evaluation was also done by different score systems. Results In all, 40 cases suffer from severe malaria (study group), while 20 cases belong to the control group. The majority of our cases were males of age 21–40 years. The most common species of malaria in the study group was vivax (52.5%), followed by falciparum (25%) and mixed malaria species (22.5%). The clinical predictors for severe malaria were rural habitat, longer duration of fever, marked chills, tiredness, giddiness, nausea, vomiting, decreased urine output, jaundice, and altered sensorium. Extreme weakness (80%), jaundice (55%), renal failure (50%), and severe anemia (27.5%) were the most common presenting features in severe malaria. Two patients died of severe mixed malaria. The mortality rate was significantly associated with lower hemoglobin level ( P = 0.002); higher total leukocyte count ( P = 0.006), blood urea ( P < 0.001), serum creatinine ( P < 0.001), SGOT ( P = 0.001), SGPT ( P < 0.007), serum bilirubin ( P = 0.003), and parasite density ( P = 0.033); lower platelet count ( P = 0.043); and those who had more APACHE II score ( P = 0.003), SOFA score ( P = 0.04), and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score ( P < 0.001) and lower Glasgow Coma Scale ( P < 0.001). Conclusions Manifestations of severe malaria is becoming increasingly more prevalent specifically in vivax and mixed malaria cases. Our study proposes that there are certain clinical predictors and prognostic indicators that should be kept in mind for better management of severe malaria.
