Recurso ordinário no processo no trabalho

Os recursos são os rémedios mais utilizados para impugnar decisões judiciais, que nada mais é que o direito ao duplo grau de jurisdição, onde o ser humano nãose conformando com a decisão proferida pelo juiz de primeira instância, tem direito a um reexame por uma segunda instância.Cabe recurso ordinário, primeiramente das decisões definitivas em que se extingue o processo com julgamento do mérito e, ainda das decisões terminativas que se extingue o processo sem julgamento do mérito.É pressuposto para interposição de recurso o pagamento de custas que deverá ser efetuado pela parte vencida.A reclamada deverá fazer o depóssito recursal se desejar recorrer, ainda o prazo para interposição de recurso ordinário no processo trabalhista é muito semelhante a apelação no processo civil.

Preconceito e estereótipos relativos a cor, sexo e status

Esta pesquisa investiga os estereótipos positivos e/ou negativos, quando considerados como variáveis de cor, sexo status. O instrumento utilizado consistiu de oito desenhos estímulos, sendo quatro homens e quatro mulheres: homem branco de status alto (HBR), homem negro de status alto (HNR), homem branco de status baixo (HBP), homem negro de status baixo (HNP), mulher branca de status alto (MBR), mulher negra de status alto (MNR), mulher branca de status baixo (MBP) e mulher negra de status baixo (MNP), distribuídos equitativamente pela amostra, em um questionário com nove itens objetivos para pedir sobre o desenho estímulo, a distância social, a escolaridade, a posição hierárquica no trabalho, a ocupação desempenhada pelo estímulo e por seus pais para averiguar a mobilidade social, a classe sócio econômica e um item em aberto para apreender como a amostra percebe os estímulos. A amostra foi composta de 930 sujeitos: 482 de cor epidérmica e atributos físicos (boca, cabelos e sujeitos nariz) brancos e 448 sujeitos negros de cor epidérmica e atributos físicos negros, ou cor epidérmica branca e atributos físicos negros, ou cor epidérmica negra e atributos físicos brancos, atribuídos pelo experimentador. Estes mesmos sujeitos se auto classificaram como sendo 602 sujeitos "brancos" e 328 sujeitos negros. A hipótese básica testada foi: "Há estereótipos positivos e negativos relativos à cor, sexo e status." O único item que rejeitou a hip6tese nula básica, foi aquele sobre a ocupação desempenhada pelas figuras-estímulos onde as amostras brancas, atribuída pelo experimentador e autoclasificada, e negra autoclassificada corno branca, rejeitaram-na quanto às variáveis de sexo e status, sugerindo que os estereótipos aparecem de acordo com as ocupações atribuídas, quanto ao sexo e status das figuras-estímulos. As amostras negras, atribuída pelo experimentador e autoclassificada, rejeitaram-nas três variáveis, mostrando a influência da cor, sexo e status, separadamente, sobre o estereótipo medido através da ocupação atribuída aos estímulos, além da interação cor X status, sugerindo também a presença do estereótipo ocupacional, quando a cor se associa ao status dos desenhos. A amostra negra, atribuída pelo experimentador, rejeita-a, ainda, na interação cor X sexo X status parecendo existir discriminação quanto as ocupações dadas aos estímulas, quando estas três variáveis se associam. As amostras brancas, atribuída pelo experimentador e autoclassificada, apresentaram respostas ambíguas na maioria dos itens. As amostras negras, atribuída pelo experimentador e autoclassificada, não mostraram diferenças significativas entre as respostas, em parte dos itens. O critério ABIPEME expressou que ambas as amostras branca e negra, atribuídas pelo experimentador, apresentaram alta escolaridade e bom nível sócio-econômico. O número de mulheres era superior ao número de homens, embora homens e mulheres se equivalessem em ambas as amostras, o que sugere que mulheres brancas e negras e homens negros se com portaram de acordo com os valores culturais e dominantes, demonstrando auto-desvalorização e baixa auto-estima.

Real time B-mode ultrasound in pacas pregnancy (Agouti paca, Linnaeus, 1766)

O objetivo deste estudo foi estabelecer o tempo de prenhez da paca por meio de ultra-sonografia. Nove pacas prenhes foram periodicamente acompanhadas com um transdutor eletrônico setorial bi-frequencial de 5,0 e 7,5 MHz, em modo B, desde a detecção ultra-sonográfica da vesícula embrionária ou do feto até o nascimento dos filhotes. Os animais foram colocados em uma gaiola de ferro de prensagem lateral e permaneceram em posição quadrupedal durante as sessões. Um pano escuro foi usado para cobrir a gaiola e frutas foram oferecidas durante o exame ultra-sonográfico para evitar reações agressivas. Quanto mais precocemente ocorreu a detecção de prenhez, maior foi o período de acompanhamento ultra-sonográfico até o nascimento dos filhotes. Apenas um filhote nasceu por parto, com 796,5 ± 74,36 gramas (valor médio ± desvio padrão da amostra) e 33,46 ± 0,60 centímetros (valor médio ± desvio padrão da amostra) de comprimento (entre a borda rostral do focinho e a extremidade distal da cauda). O período de prenhez da paca abrange 135 a 139 dias.

Reduction of enantioselectivity in the kinetic disposition and metabolism of verapamil in rats exposed to toluene

Toluene and verapamil are subject to extensive oxidative metabolism mediated by CYP enzymes, and their interaction can be stereoselective. In the present study we investigated the influence of toluene inhalation on the enantioselective kinetic disposition of verapamil and its metabolite, norverapamil, in rats. Male Wistar rats (n = 6 per group) received a single dose of racemic verapamil (10 mg/kg) orally at the fifth day of nose-only toluene or air (control group) inhalation for 6 h/day (25, 50, and 100 ppm). Serial blood samples were collected from the tail up to 6 h after verapamil administration. The plasma concentrations of verapamil and norverapamil enantiomers were analyzed by LC-MS/MS by using a Chiralpak AD column. Toluene inhalation did not influence the kinetic disposition of verapamil or norverapamil enantiomers (p > 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test) in rats. The pharmacokinetics of verapamil was enantioselective in the control group, with a higher plasma proportion of the S-verapamil (AUC 250.8 versus 120.4 ng.h.mL(-1); p <= 0.05, Wilcoxon test) and S-norverapamil (AUC 72.3 versus 52.3 ng.h.mL(-1); p <= 0.05, Wilcoxon test). Nose-only exposure to toluene at 25, 50, or 100 ppm resulted in a lack of enantioselectivity for both verapamil and norverapamil. The study demonstrates the importance of the application of enantioselective methods in studies on the interaction between solvents and chiral drugs.

A percepção das características da face infantil por adultos e crianças sob uma perspectiva evolucionista

Child facial cues evoke attention, parental care behaviors and modulate for infant- caretaker interactions. Lorenz described the baby schema ( Kindchenschema ) as a set of infantile physical features such as the large head, round face, high and protruding forehead, big eyes, chubby cheeks, small nose and mouth. Previous work on this fundamental concept was restricted to positive perception to infant face, and did not show consistent results about the development individuals perceptions, regarding the physical attributes that worked as markers of cuteness. Here, we experimentally tested the effects of baby schema on the perception of cuteness of infant faces by children and adults. We used 60 none graphically manipulated photos of different stimulus children faces from 4 to 9 years old. In the first task for the adults experimental subjects, ten stimulus photos were shown, whereas for children experimental subjects, four stimulus photos were shown at a time, with a total of six rounds. The second task involved only adults, who indicated the motivation of affective behaviors and care directed to children through a Likert scale. Our results suggest that both participants judged similarly the cuteness of children's faces, and the physical features markers of this perception were observed only for younger stimulus children. Adults have attributed more motivations of positive behaviors to cuter stimulus children. The recognition of the baby schema by individuals of different ages and genders confers the universality and power of children's physical attributes. From the evolutionary perspective the responsiveness to baby schema is significant to ensure aloparental and parental investment, and the consequent children survival

Normal endometrium was the most frequent histologic diagnosis, accounting for 1,888 (46.6%) cases. Endometrial polyp was found in 1, 115 (27.5%) patients. Endometrial hyperplasia was diagnosed in 613 (15.1%) and endometrial cancer in 105 (2.6%) women.Conclusion(s): Endometrial polyps are the most frequent hysteroscopic findings in patients with AUB, whereas normal endometrium is the most frequent histologic diagnosis.

Oropharyngeal dysphagia and language delay in partial trisomy 9p: case report

The phenotype of partial trisomy 9p includes global developmental delay, microcephaly, bulbous nose, downturned oral commissures, malformed ears, hypotonia, and severe cognitive and language disorders. We present a case report and a comparative review of clinical findings on this condition, focusing on speech-language development, cognitive abilities and swallowing evaluation. We suggest that oropharyngeal dysphagia should be further investigated, considering that pulmonary and nutritional disorders affect the survival and quality of life of the patient. As far as we know, this is the first study of a patient with partial trisomy 9p described with oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Photographic assessment of nasal morphology following rapid maxillary expansion in children

Objective: The aim of the present study was to use facial analysis to determine the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on nasal morphology in children in the stages of primary and mixed dentition, with posterior cross-bite. Material and Methods: Facial photographs (front view and profile) of 60 patients in the pre-expansion period, immediate post-expansion period and one year following rapid maxillary expansion with a Haas appliance were evaluated on 2 occasions by 3 experienced orthodontists independently, with a 2-week interval between evaluations. The examiners were instructed to assess nasal morphology and had no knowledge regarding the content of the study. Intraexanniner and interexanniner agreement (assessed using the Kappa statistic) was acceptable. Results: From the analysis of the mode of the examiners' findings, no alterations in nasal morphology occurred regarding the following aspects: dorsunn of nose, alar base, nasal width of middle third and nasal base. Alterations were only detected in the nasolabial angle in 1.64% of the patients between the pre-expansion and immediate post-expansion photographs. In 4.92% of the patients between the immediate post-expansion period and 1 year following expansion; and in 6.56% of the patients between the pre-expansion period and one year following expansion. Conclusion: RME performed on children in stages of primary and mixed dentition did not have any impact on nasal morphology, as assessed using facial analysis.

Correlation between morphology and function of the upper lip: a longitudinal evaluation

In order to evaluate the relationship between the morphology of the upper lip and muscle activity in a sample of 38 subjects (17 males and 21 females) with Angle Class II division 1 malocclusions, cephalometric and electromyographic analyses were conducted. The sample was subdivided into either predominantly nose or mouth breathers. The individuals were evaluated at two different periods, with a 2 year interval. At the first observation, the subjects were 11 years to 14 years 11 months of age and at the second observation, 13 years 4 months to 16 years 6 months of age. Height and thickness of the upper lip were measured on lateral cephalograms with the aid of a digital pachymeter. For each individual, electromyographic records were obtained of the orbicularis oris superior muscle at rest and in a series of 12 movements. The electromyographic data were normalized as a function of amplitude, for achievement of the percentage value of each movement. Pearson and Spearman correlation tests were applied.The results showed some correlation between morphology and muscle function (at a confidence level of 95 per cent). However, as the values of the correlation coefficient (r) were too low to establish associations between variables, it was concluded that the dimensions of the upper lip are not correlated with muscle activity.
