A leitura na perspectiva de Bakhtin e suas possibilidades na formação do leitor: na educação infantil e no primeiro ano do ensino fundamental

Overall, in Brazilian schools, the concept of reading does not take into account its possibilities and its meaning for life. But read is assigning meaning to something , make sense, interact with the text read. Thus, the present study addresses the mechanical reading, that without contextualization, performed on a technique by joining letters and syllables loose and also reading social use, consisting of statements, dialogism , polyphony and heteroglossy. It is known that the mechanical reading brings undesirable consequences, including learning problems, such as lack of attention, concentration, memory, imagination. When the reading is taught in a systematic way, with only the goal of the code decoding of written language, destroys social perspectives and intellectual development. It is common, when you offer the children a book, there the difficult disinterest of textual interpretation, because there is no attribute meaning to the content, and even the ability to interact with the text. With the interest in studying the dialogic reading this and the statements and genres, the present study was based on several authors: Bakhtin (1988, 2000), Schneuwly and Dolz (2000), Faraco (2009) and Ponzio (2009) Jolibert (1994), Bajard (2002; 2007) Foucambert (1997) Martins ( 1985) and Smith ( 1999). Aim for this study the following research question: what are the contributions of Mikhail Bakhtin's theory to the teaching of reading from kindergarten through the first grade of elementary school? Our hypothesis is that if they are guaranteed to pre -school and elementary school beginners diversified materials and new approaches in teaching reading and encouragement to her, will be developed in children a taste for the act of reading, so that they can assign meaning and significance, making reading part of their lives...

Prevalência de tracoma entre escolares brasileiros

OBJETIVO: Estimar a prevalência e descrever a distribuição do tracoma entre escolares em municípios brasileiros. MÉTODOS: Estudo de corte transversal, usando amostragem por conglomerados, da população escolar dos municípios brasileiros com Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano-Municipal menor que a média nacional. O inquérito de prevalência de tracoma foi realizado pelo Ministério da Saúde entre 2002 e 2007. Foram selecionados 119.531 alunos de 2.270 escolas localizadas em 1.156 municípios. Os alunos foram submetidos ao exame ocular externo, com lupa (2,5X), para detecção de sinais clínicos de tracoma segundo critérios da OMS. Estimou-se a prevalência de tracoma segundo estado e em nível nacional, e seus respectivos intervalos de 95% de confi ança. Para a comparação de variáveis categóricas foram usados os testes do Qui-quadrado e do Qui-quadrado de tendência linear. RESULTADOS: Foram detectados 6.030 casos de tracoma, resultando em prevalência de 5,0% (IC95% 4,5;5,4). Não foi encontrada diferença signifi cante entre os sexos. A prevalência de tracoma foi de 8,2% entre menores de cinco anos de idade, diminuindo nas faixas etárias mais altas (p < 0,01). Houve diferença signifi cante entre as prevalências de tracoma na zona urbana e rural, 4,3% versus 6,2%, respectivamente (p < 0,01). Foram detectados casos em 901 municípios (77,7% da amostra), em todas as regiões do País. Em 36,8% dos municípios selecionados a prevalência foi superior a 5%. CONCLUSÕES: O estudo mostra que o tracoma é um importante problema de saúde pública no Brasil, contradizendo a crença de que a endemia estaria controlada no País. O inquérito realizado apresenta uma linha de base para avaliação das intervenções planejadas com vistas ao alcance da meta mundial de certifi cação da eliminação do tracoma como causa de cegueira no Brasil, até 2020.

Sjuksköterskans förhållningssätt vid omvårdnad av patient med akut smärta

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Smärta är ett fenomen som upplevs olika, alla individer som någon gång drabbas av smärta reagerar olika starkt. Hur individen tolkar och bemästrar smärtupplevelsen är beroende av vilken ålder, kön, kulturell och social bakgrund de tillhör. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa om sjuksköterskans förhållningssätt och patientens upplevelse av bemötandet vid ett akut smärttillstånd. Metod: Studien är baserad på fjorton artiklar från 2002-2007 och vi har funnit dom i databaserna PubMed och Cinahl. Resultat: Snabb identifiering av smärta är viktigt vid behandling av smärta. För att behandlingen skall bli så god som möjligt är dialogen mellan patient och sjuksköterska viktig. Utbildning samt rutin har visat sig vara till stor fördel vid behandling då hela patienten är i fokus och inte endast symtomet. Smärtinstrument är bra som hjälpmedel vid behandling av smärta men bör vara ett komplement till patientens verbala beskrivning av tillståndet. Konklusion: Efter en sammanställning av denna studie kan det konstateras att kommunikation och smärtlindring samt vårdpersonalens attityder påverkar människor som drabbats av tillståndet akut smärta

Accuratezza nella diagnosi prenatale di malformazione fetale

OBJECTIVE: One major problem in counselling couples with a prenatal diagnosis of a correctable fetal anomaly is the ability to exclude associated malformations that may modify the prognosis. Our aim was to assess the precision of fetal sonography in identifying isolated malformations. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the prenatal and postnatal records of our center for cases with a prenatal diagnosis of an isolated fetal anomaly in the period 2002-2007. RESULTS: The antenatal diagnosis of an isolated malformation was made in 284 cases. In one of this cases the anomaly disappeared in utero. Of the remaining cases, the prenatal diagnosis was confirmed after birth in 251 (88.7%). In 8 fetuses (7 with a suspected coarctation of the aorta, 1 with ventricular septal defect) the prenatal diagnosis was not confirmed. In 24 fetuses (8.5%) additional malformations were detected at postnatal or post-mortem. In 16 of these cases the anomalies were mild or would not have changed the prognosis. In 8 cases (2.8%) severe anomalies were present (1 hypoplasia of the corpus callosum with ventriculomegaly, 1 tracheal agenesis, 3 cases with multiple anomalies, 1 Opitz Syndrome, 1 with CHARGE Syndrome, 1 COFS Syndrome). Two of these infants died. CONCLUSIONS: the prenatal diagnosis of an isolated fetal anomaly is highly reliable. However, the probability that additional malformations will go undetected albeit small remains tangible. In our experience, it was 2.8%.

Ärztliche Haltung zur Komplementärmedizin in der Region Burgdorf

Hintergrund: Komplementärmedizinische Methoden sind in der Schweiz seit langem sehr beliebt. Gemäss den Schweizerischen Gesundheitsbefragungen 2002/2007 lassen sich mehr als 30% der Bevölkerung über 15 Jahren innerhalb eines Jahres komplementärmedizinisch behandeln. Auf Lebensfrist steigt diese Zahl auf 63.4%. Eine aktuelle Untersuchung der KIKOM zeigt, dass ca. 30% der befragten Grundversorgern in der ganzen Schweiz mehr als einmal pro Woche von Patienten nach Komplementärmedizin gefragt werden. Dieselbe Studie zeigt, dass ein Grossteil der befragten Grundversorger selber Komplementärmedizin anbieten oder Patienten für komplementärmedizinische Behandlungen überweisen. Zur Einstellung von Ärzten gegenüber Komplementärmedizin existieren viele Studien. Kaum untersucht ist bisher, ob und wie sich die Haltung von Spitalärzten und zuweisenden Ärzten nach Einrichtung eines Ambulatoriums/Konsiliartätigkeit mit Komplementärmedizin ändert. Fragestellung Wie ist die Haltung gegenüber Komplementärmedizin bei den Ärzten in der Region Burgdorf (Spital Burgdorf, zuweisende Ärzte) vor der Einrichtung einer Sprechstunden-/Konsiliartätigkeit von drei komplementärmedizinischen Methoden (Akupunktur/TCM, Anthroposophische Medizin, Klassische Homöopathie) am Spital Burgdorf und wie ist die Haltung nach einem Jahr und nach zwei Jahren? Methode: Mittels eines Fragebogens werden Meinung und Entschiedenheit dieser Aussage gegenüber Komplementärmedizin und ganzheitlichem Heilungsverständnis erfasst. Der Fragebogen steht Online zur Verfügung und wird zusätzlich allen Ärzten per Post zugeschickt. Die erste Befragung Ende 2010/Anfangs 2011 dient der Erhebung der Ausgangsdaten vor der Aufnahme der Sprechstundentätigkeit. In jährlichen Abständen wird die Umfrage wiederholt. Ergebnis: Von 170 verschickten Fragebogen wurden 6 nicht zugestellt. Lediglich 5 Teilnehmer haben den Fragebogen online ausgefüllt. 43 Fragebogen kamen spontan zurück. Nach telefonischem und schriftlichem Reminder konnten nochmals 26 Fragebogen eingeholt werden. Die Rücklaufquote beträgt damit 45% (74 von 164). Die weiteren Resultate sind in der Auswertung und werden im August zur Verfügung stehen.

Risk attribution of Campylobacter infection by age group using exposure modelling

Knowledge on the relative importance of alternative sources of human campylobacteriosis is important in order to implement effective disease prevention measures. The objective of this study was to assess the relative importance of three key exposure pathways (travelling abroad, poultry meat, pet contact) for different patient age groups in Switzerland. With a stochastic exposure model data on Campylobacter incidence for the years 2002-2007 were linked with data for the three exposure pathways and the results of a case-control study. Mean values for the population attributable fractions (PAF) over all age groups and years were 27% (95% CI 17-39) for poultry consumption, 27% (95% CI 22-32) for travelling abroad, 8% (95% CI 6-9) for pet contact and 39% (95% CI 25-50) for other risk factors. This model provided robust results when using data available for Switzerland, but the uncertainties remained high. The output of the model could be improved if more accurate input data are available to estimate the infection rate per exposure. In particular, the relatively high proportion of cases attributed to 'other risk factors' requires further attention.
