Psychological and Family Factors Associated with Suicidal Ideation in Pre-Adolescents

To assess the psychological and family factors associated with suicidal ideation in preadolescent children, we studied a sample of 361 students, average age 9 years old. Two groups were formed, on the basis of the presence (n = 34) or absence (n = 44) of suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation was assessed with the Children���s Depression Inventory and the Children���s Depression Rating Scale-Revised. Depression, hopelessness, self-esteem, and perceived family environment were compared in both the suicidal ideation and the control groups. Students with suicidal ideation generally presented greater depressive symptoms and hopelessness, and lower self-esteem and family expressiveness, although there were differences both between sexes, and when the variable depression was controlled. Identifying these risk factors in pre-adolescents may have an impact on prevention of suicidal behavior at higher risk ages

�� procura da identidade de Heinz : um modelo de compreens��o da motiva����o moral

RESUMO: As teorias psicol��gicas da moralidade dividem-se na conceptualiza����o da motiva����o moral, o tema desta disserta����o. Os modelos construtivistas, apoiados na epistemologia gen��tica, privilegiam a cogni����o como factor determinante mas, as teorias que enfatizam o funcionamento individual admitem que as emo����es e a identidade interferem na tend��ncia de cada pessoa agir moralmente. Particularmente apoiados na segunda perspectiva, test��mos um modelo preditor da motiva����o moral com tr��s vari��veis, identidade, identidade moral e integridade, todas avaliadas por medidas psicom��tricas, em duas amostras. A primeira era composta por 320 estudantes do 12�� ano de uma escola do concelho de Lisboa, com idades compreendidas entre 18 e 20 anos (M=18,22; Dp=0,49), 108 masculinos e 194 femininos e a segunda era composta por 174 sujeitos, estudantes finalistas de cursos profissionais de uma escola do concelho de Lisboa frequentada por alunos provenientes de ambientes sociais caracterizados pelo stresse s��cio-econ��mico e familiar, e at��, em bastantes casos, que j�� tinham participado em actos ilegais relacionados com furto, vandalismo, tr��fico de drogas, e agress��es, com idades compreendidas entre 18 e 22 anos (M=18,98; Dp=1,075), 104 masculinos e 70 femininos. A primeira amostra foi considerada normativa e a segunda de risco psicossocial. Para avaliar a motiva����o moral foi constru��da uma medida que incluiu dois aspectos: a consci��ncia moral, relativa �� avalia����o objectiva e subjectiva que os indiv��duos fazem das situa����es morais que atrav��s de processos de an��lise de conte��do foi distinguida em tr��s categorias exclusivas: n��o transgress��o, transgress��o relativizada e transgress��o; e a autoatribui����o de emo����es que indica a probabilidade objectiva dos indiv��duos cometerem ac����es morais. Foi verificada a exist��ncia de diferen��as individuais em ambas as medidas da motiva����o moral e, tamb��m, a exist��ncia de diferen��as na atribui����o de emo����es em fun����o da consci��ncia moral: os sujeitos da categoria transgress��o apresentaram atribui����es mais negativas do que os sujeitos de transgress��o relativizada e estes, por sua vez, apresentaram atribui����es mais negativas que os sujeitos da categoria n��o transgress��o. Estes resultados confirmam o papel da identidade na motiva����o moral. A an��lise da predi����o confirmou que a integridade, a identidade e a identidade moral, em ordem decrescente de capacidade explicativa, constituem factores preditores tanto da consci��ncia moral como da auto-atribui����o de emo����es. ABSTRACT: Moral motivation, the subject of this thesis, is differently viewed by several psychological perspectives. Constructivist models supported by genetic epistemology define cognition as the determinant factor while theories that emphasize individual functioning admit that emotions and identity have a central role in the way that persons could morally act. Particularly supported in this second approach we tested a predictive model of moral motivation with three variables, identity, moral identity and integrity, all evaluated by psychometric scales, in two samples. The first sample had 320 graduate high school students with age between 18 and 20 (M=18,22; SD=0,49), 108 male and 194 female and the second sample had 174 graduate students of vocational courses in high school of a risk social and familiar environment, many of them had already done illegal acts such as stealing, vandalism, drug traffic and aggressions; they had ages between 18 and 22 (M=18,98; SD=1,08), 104 male and 70 female. The first sample was considered normative and the second one was classified as psychosocial risk. To evaluate moral motivation we developed a measure that assesses two aspects: moral conscience, who includes both objective and subjective evaluation of moral situations that was distinguished in three exclusive categories by procedures of content analysis: non-transgression, justifiable transgression and transgression; and self-attribution of emotion that indicates the likelihood of committing moral actions. We observed individual differences in both measurements of moral motivation and also verified differences in emotional attribution on the basis of moral conscience: the individuals of transgression category presented more negative attributions than those of justifiable transgression and in turn the latter presented more negative attributions than individuals of non-transgression category. These results confirm the role of identity in moral motivation. The predictor analysis confirmed integrity, identity and moral identity, in descending order of explanatory power, as predictive variables of moral consciousness and self-attribution of emotions.

Una visi��n familiar de Alfredo Pareja Diezcanseco (Testimonios)

El escritor Miguel Donoso Pareja confiesa que en su vida existieron dos modelos: el de su padre -hasta reconocer que no era capaz de emular al navegante y matem��tico-, y el de su t��o Alfredo Pareja. Admira al escritor tanto como al ser humano: por su deseo permanente de aprender y la exigencia implacable consigo mismo, cuanto por su vitalidad. Recuerda las visitas familiares, cada semana, de su t��o a la Pen��nsula de Santa Elena, aprobaba en silencio las lecturas juveniles de Donoso, e impuso un quiebre de calidad con Las mil noches y una noche. Como estudiante en casa de su abuela materna en Guayaquil, el autor conoci�� a otro Alfredo Pareja: el de su agitada rutina diaria de escritor y hombre de negocios, visitaba su casa, fascinado por su inmensa biblioteca, a la que ten��a libre acceso, poco despu��s, su t��o Alfredo iniciar��a sus largos a��os de viajero, y se reencontrar��an pocas veces, en Quito, en la d��cada de 1980. El autor concluye la emotiva rese��a con una breve s��ntesis valorativa de la producci��n de Pareja Diezcanseco.

Vivir y compartir. Propuestas para lograr la conciliaci��n de la vida personal, familiar y laboral (Tema Central)

Este estudio pretende desentra��ar las razones que han pesado en el imaginario social a la hora de asignar los roles dom��sticos y de cuidado familiar exclusivamente a las mujeres, con la consecuencia de disminuir y, en algunos casos, casi anular sus oportunidades a la hora de acceder a un trabajo remunerado o de mejorar sus condiciones laborales. La propuesta frente a esta realidad es que el derecho act��e como equilibrador de las oportunidades de hombres y mujeres en el acceso al empleo y en el derecho al trabajo, lo que se lograr�� si se atacan las causas que generan esas desigualdades, entre ellas, unas de las m��s poderosas son las responsabilidades familiares y dom��sticas, que deben ser redistribuidas equitativamente entre hombres y mujeres, y donde el Estado debe intervenir facilitando espacios de cuidado y atenci��n para ni��os/as y adultos mayores.

Emotions and the habitus: Young people with socio-emotional differences (re)producing social, emotional and cultural capital in family and leisure space-times

In this paper we explore the importance of emotionally inter-dependent relationships to the functioning of embodied social capital and habitus. Drawing upon the experiences of young people with socio-emotional differences, we demonstrate how emotionally inter-dependent and relatively nurturing relationships are integral to the acquisition of social capital and to the co-construction and embodiment of habitus. The young people presented in this paper often had difficulties in forging social relationships and in acquiring symbolic and cultural capital in school spaces. However, we outline how these young people (re)produce and embody alternative kinds of habitus, based on emotionally reciprocal relationships forged through formal and informal leisure activities and familial and fraternal social relationships. These alternative forms of habitus provide sites of subjection, scope for acquiring social and cultural capital and a positive sense of identity in the face of problematic relations and experiences in school spaces.

The transaction cost economics theory of the family firm: family-based human asset specificity and the bifurcation bias

We develop a transaction cost economics theory of the family firm, building upon the concepts of family-based asset specificity, bounded rationality, and bounded reliability. We argue that the prosperity and survival of family firms depend on the absence of a dysfunctional bifurcation bias. The bifurcation bias is an expression of bounded reliability, reflected in the de facto asymmetric treatment of family vs. nonfamily assets (especially human assets). We propose that absence of bifurcation bias is critical to fostering reliability in family business functioning. Our study ends the unproductive divide between the agency and stewardship perspectives of the family firm, which offer conflicting accounts of this firm type's functioning. We show that the predictions of the agency and stewardship perspectives can be usefully reconciled when focusing on how family firms address the bifurcation bias or fail to do so.

Alternativas ao Cr��dito Rural Tradicional

The subject of the current work was to analyze the subject of the adequacy of Brazilian's agricultural activity financing model, as an alternative for the traditional agriculture credit. The main basis for this research is the evidence that the official resources for new loans, wherein it is analyzed a period within 30 years, had their highest peak in the final 70's decade and beginning of the80��s had experimented a consistent trajectory of decline, returning to the initial levels of the final decades of the 60��s. In parallel with the situation above, it is evidenced the increase of the Brazilian agriculture production by the official data, mainly grain plowing, followed by diverse problems like high levels of default in and continuously debt roll over, indicating depauperation from the traditional model which was institutionalized in 1965, under the Law n. 4829. A survey of official data regarding those loans, their default and field research with banks that deal with agriculture loans, from a broad Bibliographical research, ,was made in order to verify their managing strategy and willingness to use new financing mechanisms. The main proposed alternatives were: a) C��dula de Produto Rural (Rural Product Bill) b) C��dula de Produto Rural, financial modality c) Bolsa de Mercadorias e de Futuro��s proposal d) Agricultural Receivable on Security e) Model based on Local Credit Agencies The best instrument for leveling resources were the first four alternatives, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each proposal. The creation of a system based on local branches for credit had not shown to be viable as for the difficulties for implementation and functioning. The work also points out a need to review the segmentation concerning rural clients. The traditional format for segmentation distinguishes 2 groups of producers: commercial agriculture and familiar agriculture. A third group is in eminence, which is the survival agriculture, with needs and distinct characteristics, indicating that the requirements for their needs must not have to be made by credit forms, but as aid programs, education and social welfare.

Qualidade de vida em gestantes no terceiro trimestre com pirose e/ou regurgita����o : contribui����o da cafe��na, acido asc��rbico e ��cidos graxos

Introdu����o: Pirose e regurgita����o s��o manifesta����es da Doen��a do Refluxo Gastresof��gico (DRGE) que ocorrem freq��entemente no terceiro trimestre da gravidez, por��m seu impacto na qualidade de vida de gestantes �� pouco conhecido. Objetivos: 1. Mensurar a qualidade de vida em gestantes no terceiro trimestre da gravidez com Pirose e Regurgita����o; 2. Avaliar a rela����o entre Pirose e Regurgita����o e a dieta. Pacientes e M��todos: Gestantes no terceiro trimestre acompanhadas ambulatorialmente foram entrevistadas para colher dados referentes �� hist��ria obst��trica, freq����ncia, intensidade e passado de P e R, qualidade de vida (mensurada a partir do question��rio gen��rico SF-36), ingest��o alimentar (avaliada por recordat��rio de 24h) e medidas antropom��tricas; Resultados: Foram estudadas consecutivamente 82 gestantes: 62 com pirose e/ou regurgita����o e 20 assintom��ticas. Pirose foi relatada por 62 (76%) gestantes e regurgita����o por 58 (71%). A idade gestacional m��dia foi 33,8��3,7 semanas, 35 (43%) apresentavam hist��ria familiar positiva de pirose e/ou regurgita����o e 57 (70%) n��o apresentavam tais sintomas fora da gravidez. Houve redu����o estatisticamente significativa na qualidade de vida das gestantes sintom��ticas nos seguintes dom��nios: Para pirose, em Limita����o F��sica e Aspectos Sociais; para regurgita����o, em Limita����o F��sica, Aspectos Sociais, Aspectos Emocionais e Dor. Houve concord��ncia entre presen��a de pirose em gesta����es passadas e a atual. Gestantes com pirose apresentaram-se significativamente com maior peso corporal. ��cidos graxos poli e monoinsaturados, cafe��na, ��cido asc��rbico e sulfato ferroso foram significativamente associados com pirose e/ou regurgita����o. Conclus��es: 1.Pirose e / ou regurgita����o diminu��ram a qualidade de vida em gestantes no terceiro trimestre; 2. ��cidos graxos, cafe��na, ��cido asc��rbico e sulfato ferroso estiveram associados com pirose e/ou regurgita����o.
