Representaciones imaginarias de la interacción y violencia en la escuela

School violence research (sociopaedagogical and psychosocial perspectives) has not appropiately taken into account interpersonal and imaginary elements that may be extremely relevant for the understanding of this phenomena. This article analizes the imaginaries that articulates the violence of youth groups in a context of interpersonal relationships in the institutional space of a Rio Claro (Brazil) secondary school. The results are based on the analysis of four youth groups discourses, gathered in succesive group interviews, as well as the drawings made and pictures taken on their respective schools. They show a strong imaginary of generalized violence, in and out the school, with a representation of the school as unfair and aggressor and the students, aggressors themselves, as humiliated and undervalued.

Tumor venéreo transmissível canino: expressão dos genes MDR-1, TP53 e da família Bcl-2 e suas implicações no comportamento biológico e terapêutico

Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a neoplasm of round cells with plasmocytoid or lymphocytoid appearance. The tumor presents several particularities, which have been the subject of numerous studies; however there still have investigations that need to be done. For example, a progressive increase of highly aggressive tumors with varying response to chemotherapy -including resistance- has been evidenced in recent years. There is scientific interest to understand these differences, allowing predicting possible clinical outcomes in affected dogs and increasingly searching adequate and individualized therapy. This review focuses on presenting possible implications of the expression of MDR-1 (P-glycoprotein), TP53, BCL-2, and BAX genes, regarding resistance to chemotherapy and/or the biologic behavior of TVT

Relaciones entre tendencias de juicio moral, estilos de resolución de conflictos y percepción de la manifestación de la agresividad en niños y adolescentes

The moral judgment was approached upon a constructivist perspective which focuses on its evolution according to the different types of social relations. The several forms of resolution of conflicts are also considered in this reference, since they are related to situations of interaction, as well as the aggressiveness. The research was carried out with sixty children and teenagers from a socio-educational institution. It aimed to identify the variations according to age, and relate the trends in moral judgment, the styles of resolution of conflicts, and the perception of the educators regarding to the manifestation of aggressive behaviors. The instruments for collecting data were the Scale of Perception from Teachers for children that manifested Aggressive Behaviors in School, a Clinical Interview about moral judgment and the adaptation of the Children\'s Action Tendency Scale - CATS. The results showed that variations in relation to age were significant regarding to moral judgment. The younger children showed more heteronomous judgments and the older children more autonomous. Furthermore, the data evidenced a positive relationship between semiautonomia and aggressiveness, which raises the possibility of this being regarded as one of the unique strategies to take a position within an authoritarian and coercive environment.
