Literacia e gênero: a mulher no ensino de história

A presente pesquisa foi iniciada pela compreensão que, mesmo com os significativos avanços ocorridos nos últimos anos, relacionados aos debates de gênero, mulheres, feminismo, faz-se necessário, ainda, que educadoras/es consigam estabelecer diálogos nas salas de aula sobre o tema, eis que, ou está ausente ou é muito pouco debatido no âmbito das escolas. Pretende-se estabelecer uma relação entre o Ensino de História e o gênero/mulher no contexto da História. Para tanto, foi utilizado o conceito de literacia histórica, o qual aborda a História em múltiplas possibilidades e definições sobre como ela (História) pode ser “lida”, uma alfabetização histórica. Neste sentido espera-se que a abordagem de uma História local seja percebida como inter-relacionada com a História global. Para que tal propósito seja alcançado, serão utilizados os paradigmas da Educação Histórica e o conceito de Teoria Social. A partir da investigação das memórias de professoras e professores de História sobre a sua formação, busca-se identificar as influências que sofreram no meio escolar, e o quanto significou, para elas e para eles, estas nas suas vidas, os aprendizados e as dificuldades encontradas. Levando-se em conta que muitos trabalhos fundamentados em estudos sobre mulheres têm sido realizados por alunas/os da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – FURG para a obtenção da titulação em vários níveis de formação acadêmica, na área de História, realizou-se um levantamento inicial, a fim de encontrar mulheres que escreveram sobre mulheres no Centro de Documentação Histórica Prof. Hugo Alberto Pereira Neves (CDH-FURG). Buscou-se também uma dissertação, resultante de curso realizado na Universidade Federal de Pelotas – UFPel. A partir da identificação de algumas mulheres que escreveram sobre mulheres e que se encontram atuando como docentes em sala de aula, ou em outros espaços onde desenvolvem atividades correlatas, idealizou-se conhecer como estão sendo abordadas, se o são, as questões relacionadas às mulheres no contexto em que se encontram essas profissionais. Por fim, foram realizadas entrevistas e buscou-se observar as coincidências e/ou divergências entre elas no tocante ao tema gênero/mulheres, no espaço escolar ou onde atuam.

O PIBID na formação do professor-supervisor e dos licenciados em História: reflexões e contribuições

Esta dissertação visa analisar o PIBID (PROGRAMA INSTITUCIONAL DE BOLSA DE INICIAÇÃO A DOCÊNCIA) de História da Furg dentro do contexto educacional contemporâneo, em que a formação continuada é vista como uma forma de contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade do ensino. Para isso o professor deve estar consciente que sua formação não termina na graduação. Formar ou (re) formar o educador para a sociedade atual através de uma formação continuada proporcionará ao mesmo, independência profissional com autonomia para decidir sobre o seu trabalho e suas necessidades.

A visão social de mundo dos parâmetros curriculares nacionais em história para os anos finais do ensino fundamental

Os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) em História para os terceiro e quarto ciclos do ensino fundamental (atualmente anos finais), publicados pelo Governo Federal em 1998, traçaram as diretrizes e orientações específicas para esta área de ensino, dentro do novo contexto educacional consolidado pela Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional de 1996 (LDBEN/96), refletido por sua vez pelo novo período de redemocratização constitucional iniciado em 1988 e em curso até os dias de hoje. Compreender a visão social de mundo preconizada no documento, com suas potencialidades (ou não) para o ensino de História em nosso País, através da análise dos aspectos historiográficos e educacionais que o formam, representa o objetivo central desta pesquisa, procurando – se identificar também os interesses e valores dos grupos sociais e culturais nele traduzidos. Dentro de uma perspectiva crítico-dialética, os referidos PCNs e suas implicações com as questões acima expostas só poderão ser investigadas em uma dimensão contextualizada com a sociedade brasileira contemporânea.

Microbial Evaluation Of Traumatized Teeth Treated With Triple Antibiotic Paste Or Calcium Hydroxide With 2% Chlorhexidine Gel In Pulp Revascularization.

Revascularization outcome depends on microbial elimination because apical repair will not happen in the presence of infected tissues. This study evaluated the microbial composition of traumatized immature teeth and assessed their reduction during different stages of the revascularization procedures performed with 2 intracanal medicaments. Fifteen patients (7-17 years old) with immature teeth were submitted to the revascularization procedures; they were divided into 2 groups according to the intracanal medicament used: TAP group (n = 7), medicated with a triple antibiotic paste, and CHP group (n = 8), dressed with calcium hydroxide + 2% chlorhexidine gel. Samples were taken before any treatment (S1), after irrigation with 6% NaOCl (S2), after irrigation with 2% chlorhexidine (S3), after intracanal dressing (S4), and after 17% EDTA irrigation (S5). Cultivable bacteria recovered from the 5 stages were counted and identified by means of polymerase chain reaction assay (16S rRNA). Both groups had colony-forming unit counts significantly reduced after S2 (P < .05); however, no significant difference was found between the irrigants (S2 and S3, P = .99). No difference in bacteria counts was found between the intracanal medicaments used (P = .95). The most prevalent bacteria detected were Actinomyces naeslundii (66.67%), followed by Porphyromonas endodontalis, Parvimonas micra, and Fusobacterium nucleatum, which were detected in 33.34% of the root canals. An average of 2.13 species per canal was found, and no statistical correlation was observed between bacterial species and clinical/radiographic features. The microbial profile of infected immature teeth is similar to that of primarily infected permanent teeth. The greatest bacterial reduction was promoted by the irrigation solutions. The revascularization protocols that used the tested intracanal medicaments were efficient in reducing viable bacteria in necrotic immature teeth.

The Effect Of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Alone Or In Combination With Electrostimulation In The Treatment Of Sexual Dysfunction In Women With Multiple Sclerosis.

Sexual dysfunction (SD) affects up to 80% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) play an important role in the sexual function of these patients. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of a rehabilitation program to treat lower urinary tract symptoms on SD of women with MS. Thirty MS women were randomly allocated to one of three groups: pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback and sham neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) (Group I), PFMT with EMG biofeedback and intravaginal NMES (Group II), and PFMT with EMG biofeedback and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) (Group III). Assessments, before and after the treatment, included: PFM function, PFM tone, flexibility of the vaginal opening and ability to relax the PFMs, and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. After treatment, all groups showed improvements in all domains of the PERFECT scheme. PFM tone and flexibility of the vaginal opening was lower after the intervention only for Group II. All groups improved in arousal, lubrication, satisfaction and total score domains of the FSFI questionnaire. This study indicates that PFMT alone or in combination with intravaginal NMES or TTNS contributes to the improvement of SD.

Factors Associated With The Onset Of Hypertension In Women Of 50 Years Of Age Or More In A City In Southeastern Brazil.

To evaluate factors associated with hypertension in Brazilian women of 50 years of age or more. A cross-sectional population based study using self-reports. A total of 622 women were included. The association between sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral factors and the woman's age at the onset of hypertension was evaluated. Data were analyzed according to cumulative continuation rates without hypertension, using the life-table method and considering annual intervals. Next, a Cox multiple regression analysis model was adjusted to analyze the occurrence rates of hypertension according to various predictor variables. Significance level was pre-established at 5% (95% confidence level) and the sampling plan (primary sampling unit) was taken into consideration. Median age at onset of hypertension was 64.3 years. Cumulative continuation rate without hypertension at 90 years was 20%. Higher body mass index (BMI) at 20-30 years of age was associated with a higher cumulative occurrence rate of hypertension over time (coefficient=0.078; p<0.001). Being white was associated with a lower cumulative occurrence rate of hypertension over time (coefficient= -0.439; p=0.003), while smoking >15 cigarettes/day was associated with a higher rate over time (coefficient=0.485; p=0.004). The results of the present study highlight the importance of weight control in young adulthood and of avoiding smoking in preventing hypertension in women aged ≥50 years.

Prevalence Of Urinary Incontinence And Its Association With Multimorbidity In Women Aged 50 Years Or Older: A Population-based Study.

To evaluate the prevalence and associated risk factors for urinary incontinence, as well as its association with multimorbidity among Brazilian women aged 50 or over. This was a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional population-based study including 622 women 50 years or older, conducted in the city of Campinas-SP-Brazil. The dependent variable was Urinary Incontinence (UI), defined as any complaint of urine loss. The independent variables were sociodemographic data, health-related habits, self-perception of health and functional capacity evaluation. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Chi-square test and Poisson regression. The mean age of the women was 64. UI was prevalent in 52.3% of these women: Mixed UI (26.6%), Urge UI (13.2%) and Stress UI (12.4%). Factors associated with a higher prevalence of UI were hypertension (OR 1.21, CI 1:01-1:47, P = 0.004), osteoarthritis (OR 1.24, CI 1:03-1:50, P = 0.022), physical activity ≥3 days/week (OR 1.21, CI 1:01-1:44, P = 0.039), BMI ≥ 25 at the time of the interview (OR 1.25, CI 1:04-1:49, P = 0.018), negative self-perception of health (OR 1.23, CI 1:06-1:44 P = 0.007) and limitations in daily living activities (PR 1:56 CI 1:16-2:10, P = 0.004). The prevalence of UI was high. Mixed incontinence was the most frequent type of UI. Many associated factors can be prevented or improved. Thus, health policies targeted at these combined factors could reduce their prevalence rate and possibly decrease the prevalence of UI. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Factors Associated With The Age Of The Onset Of Diabetes In Women Aged 50 years Or More: A Population-based Study.

Investigate factors associated with the onset of diabetes in women aged more than 49 years. Cross-sectional, population-based study using self-reports with 622 women. The dependent variable was the age of occurrence of diabetes using the life table method. Cox multiple regression models were adjusted to analyse the onset of diabetes according to predictor variables. Sociodemographic, clinical and behavioural factors were evaluated. Of the 622 women interviewed, 22.7% had diabetes. The mean age at onset was 56 years. The factors associated with the age of occurrence of diabetes were self-rated health (very good, good) (coefficient=-0.792; SE of the coefficient=0.215; p=0.0001), more than two individuals living in the household (coefficient=0.656, SE of the coefficient=0.223; p=0.003), and body mass index (BMI) (kg/m(2)) at 20-30 years of age (coefficient= 0.056, SE of the coefficient=0.023; p=0.014). Self-rated health considered good or very good was associated with a higher rate of survival without diabetes. Sharing a home with two or more other people and a weight increase at 20-30 years of age was associated with the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Orthognathic Surgery With Or Without Induced Hypotension.

This study involved a retrospective evaluation of patients subjected to surgery for dentofacial deformities treated without induced controlled hypotension (group I, n=50) and a prospective evaluation of patients who were subjected to surgery under hypotensive general anaesthesia (group II, n=50). No statistical differences were found between the study groups with regard to the duration of surgery. However, there were statistically significant differences in the need for blood transfusion and the occurrence of bradycardia during the maxillary down-fracture. Hypotensive anaesthesia decreased the need for a blood transfusion and the occurrence of bradycardia, and is therefore considered highly beneficial for patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
