Medición del nivel de orientación empática en alumnos de facultades o carreras de odontología de Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panamá y Perú.

Las investigaciones, tanto a nivel médico como odontológico, indican que la empatía ha estado relacionada, teóricamente o empíricamente, a diversos atributos, tales como el comportamiento prosocial, habilidad para recabar la historia clínica, aumento del grado de satisfacción del paciente y del médico, mejores relaciones terapéuticas y buenos resultados clínicos. El objetivo del proyecto es determinar y describir el nivel de empatía de los alumnos que cursan Odontología de algunas Universidades de Latinoamericana, según el nivel de enseñanza y el género. Esta investigación corresponde a un estudio no experimental y de carácter exploratorio. Este tipo de diseño es transversal, descriptivo y ex post facto causa y efecto (potencialmente correlacional). Este proyecto dará origen a un trabajo que se especializará en recolectar datos en un momento temporal determinado para describir en él las variables que se estudiarán, y analizar su comportamiento y posibles asociaciones existentes entre estas variables. La población comprende a los estudiantes pertenecientes a los niveles 1º a 5º de la carrera de Odontología de cada una de las Facultades o Carreras comprometidas en el estudio. La unidad de análisis es el sujeto estudiante de cada nivel antes señalado y en cada una de las poblaciones estudiadas. Se aplicará la Escala de Empatía Médica de Jefferson a todos los estudiantes comprometidos en este estudio, previa explicación detallada de los propósitos de esta investigación y de los objetivos de la misma, incluyendo su carácter confidencial.

Microhabitats de mosquitos (Diptera, Culicidae) em internódios de taquara na Mata Atlântica, Paraná, Brasil

During two consecutive years, from January 1985 to December 1986, a comparative study of mosquitoes preferences for breeding habitat was carried out in the Atlantic Forest of the Serra do Mar, Paraná State, Brazil. To achieve it, 1875 bamboo internodes aligned vertically in live green, bamboo plants Merostachys speciosa Munro and Merostachys sp. were used, in which metabolic water was exuded from the plant itself, and presenting different size/pattern holes at their lateral walls, bored by the local sylvan fauna. Another group of 1200 individual internode traps was used as comparative element, carved out with a transversal cut by a saw, filled with local stream water and held in branches at different heights in the vegetal strata nearby. At both microhabitat types, a total of 17 culicid species was registered. Culex (Microculex) neglectus Lutz, 1904, Cx. (Carrollia) soperi Antunes & Lane, 1937, Sabethes (Sabethes) batesi Lane & Cerqueira, 1942 and Sa. (Sabethinus) melanonymphe (Dyar, 1924)colonized exclusively live plant internodes, while Culex (Microculex) elongatus Rozeboom & Lane, 1950, Cx. (Carrollia) iridescens (Lutz, 1905), Cx. (Carrollia) kompi Valencia,1973and Trichoprosopon (Trichoprosopon) soaresi Dyar & Knab, 1907 bred only in internode traps. The remaining nine species colonized both habitats indistinctly. Quantitatively, was detected the abundance of 60.1% at live green internodes, against 39.9% for internode traps. Concerning the different patterns of bored live internode holes, 40.3% of the total computed specimens were collected in square or rectangular holes, 31.9% in two hole internodes, one minute circular, the other wider, and the remaining 28.8% of specimens distributed in other pattern type internodes. The mosquitoes breeding at these microhabitats fall in the culicid entomofauna specialized at locating and detecting peculiar and propitious mesogen conditions for breeding purposes.

Influência do ciclo lunar na captura de Aedes scapularis (Diptera, Culicidae) na Mata Atlântica do Paraná

From October 1995 to January 1996 Aedes (Ochlerotatus) scapularis (Rondani, 1948) was studied in a small area of the Atlantic Forest, Serra do Marumbi, Morretes, Paraná, Brazil. Adults were captured with Shannon light traps for 48 nights, representing 12 nights for seven time intervals. Traps were operated from dusk to dawn. The influences on flight activity of the lunar phase, ambient temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall were analyzed. Ae. scapularis had a flight behaviour different in each of the four lunar phases. In relation to flight period, the species showed higher activity during the first three lunar intervals. Among the climatic variables, temperature and relative humidity positively influenced flight activity during the night.
