Indicadores de desenvolvimento de um país: do PIB ao FIB

O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em explorar as formas de mensuração do desenvolvimento econômico, surgidas nas últimas décadas, bem como a ampliação dos fatores que o analisam para além de mero crescimento do produto. Assim, é feita uma discussão a respeito do surgimento de índices e indicadores, que passaram a considerar fatores como bem-estar, qualidade de vida e proteção ao meio ambiente, mudando a análise de meramente quantitativa para uma análise qualitativa do desenvolvimento. Além disso, para que se tenha mais clareza a respeito do desenvolvimento, bem como dos indicadores que buscam qualificá-lo, o trabalho busca esclarecer as abordagens de desenvolvimento tradicionais e seus respectivos indicadores - desde o PIB até os alternativos, como o FIB

Humanização na assistência odontológica de pessoas com deficiência, através do projeto Cão Cidadão-Unesp

The Araçatuba School of Dentistry along with the Veterinary Medical Course, both from UNESP, develop the Extension Project called “Cão Cidadão UNESP” (Unesp Citizen Dog), which is accomplished in some assistance societies, including the Dental Assistance Center to Persons with Disabilities (“Centro de Assistência Odontológica à Pessoa com Deficiência” - CAOE-UNESP). This project develops a multidisciplinary work involving professionals and students from health sciences. The project aims at developing activities to relieve stress, fear and anxiety of patients with disabilities in the moment that precedes the dental treatment. The team performs procedures such as walking with the dogs and patients, toothbrushing the dogs so the patients can see it, in order to learn and motivate themselves, dressing the dogs with some accessories such as white clothes, mask and cap, to associate with image of the dentist, making this relationship more pleasant and welcoming. It is evidenced, through reports of professionals, that the patients become calmer and more collaborative with the dentists, distracting them from the treatment focus and creating a positive bond. It should be noted that this experience has contributed to motivate the professionals to introduce new techniques for dental approach, such as Animal Assisted Therapy. It also shows that animals can be very helpful in treating people with disabilities, because they offer a lot of love, companionship and provide moments of joy and happiness to the participants.

Bem-estar subjetivo: autoavaliação em estudantes universitários

O bem-estar subjetivo surgiu como um interessante tema da Psicologia Positiva e tem recebido cada vez mais atenção de pesquisadores da área. Este estudo teve como objetivo principal verificar a eficácia de três instrumentos de autoavaliação do bem-estar subjetivo, a partir de uma população de estudantes universitários da cidade de Ribeirão Preto. Foi realizada a análise estatística descritiva e a análise de componentes principais para os resultados apresentados no Questionário de Felicidade Oxford e na Escala de Felicidade Subjetiva. O Item de Felicidade Global foi analisado apenas por intermédio da estatística descritiva, pois apresentava uma única questão. Partindo do fato de que pesquisas realizadas indicam uma diferença pouco significativa entre autoavaliações realizadas por homens e por mulheres, este estudo traz resultados que confirmam essa constatação quanto às medianas apresentadas em todos os instrumentos, porém aponta diferenças significativas em relação à estrutura dos instrumentos de homens e mulheres para o Questionário de Felicidade Oxford.

Abortamento na adolescência: vivência e necessidades de cuidado

Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, com abordagem da fenomenologia social, realizada em 2010, com oito adolescentes que passaram pela experiência do aborto e foram atendidas em uma instituição hospitalar filantrópica de Minas Gerais. Objetivou-se, com ela, compreender a experiência e as necessidades de cuidado das adolescentes em situação de abortamento. Os resultados mostram que o impacto da gravidez levou-as ao medo da não aceitação da família e, ao mesmo tempo, à felicidade, pela possibilidade de ser mãe. A experiência do aborto foi marcada por sofrimento, e o atendimento foi considerado satisfatório, mas foi realçada a necessidade do recebimento de mais atenção e informação. As adolescentes planejam dar continuidade aos estudos e têm em vista a possibilidade de engravidar novamente. Vislumbram-se o planejamento de ações preventivas destinadas a este público e o desenvolvimento de novas investigações científicas que incluam a perspectiva de familiares e de profissionais de saúde.

How do sportspeople succeed in a non-collaborative game? An illustration of a perverse side effect of altruism Are team sports specialists predisposed to collaboration? The scientific literature on this topic is divided. The present article attempts to end this debate by applying experimental game theory. We constituted three groups of volunteers (all students aged around 20): 25 team sports specialists; 23 individual sports specialists (gymnasts, track & field athletes and swimmers) and a control group of 24 non-sportspeople. Each subgroup was divided into 3 teams that played against each other in turn (and not against teams from other subgroups). The teams played a game based on the well-known Prisoner's Dilemma (Tucker, 1950) - the paradoxical "Bluegill Sunbass Game" (Binmore, 1999) with three Nash equilibria (two suboptimal equilibria with a pure strategy and an optimal equilibrium with a mixed, egotistical strategy (p= 1/2)). This game also features a Harsanyi equilibrium (based on constant compliance with a moral code and altruism by empathy: "do not unto others that which you would not have them do unto you"). How, then, was the game played? Two teams of 8 competed on a handball court. Each team wore a distinctive jersey. The game lasted 15 minutes and the players were allowed to touch the handball ball with their feet or hands. After each goal, each team had to return to its own half of the court. Players were allowed to score in either goal and thus cooperate with their teammates or not, as they saw fit. A goal against the nominally opposing team (a "guardian" strategy, by analogy with the Bluegill Sunbass Game) earned a point for everyone in the team. For an own goal (a "sneaker" strategy), only the scorer earned a point - hence the paradox. If all the members of a team work together to score a goal, everyone is happy (the Harsanyi solution). However, the situation was not balanced in the Nashian sense: each player had a reason to be disloyal to his/her team at the merest opportunity. But if everyone adopts a "sneaker" strategy, the game becomes a free-for-all and the chances of scoring become much slimmer. In a context in which doubt reigns as to the honesty of team members and "legal betrayals", what type of sportsperson will score the most goals? By analogy with the Bluegill Sunbass Game, we recorded direct motor interactions (passes and shots) based on either a "guardian" tactic (i.e. collaboration within the team) or a "sneaker" tactic (shots and passes against the player's designated team). So, was the group of team sports specialist more collaborative than the other two groups? The answer was no. A statistical analysis (difference from chance in a logistic regression) enabled us to draw three conclusions: ?For the team sports specialists, the Nash equilibrium (1950) was stronger than the Harsanyi equilibrium (1977). ?The sporting principles of equilibrium and exclusivity are not appropriate in the Bluegill Sunbass Game and are quickly abandoned by the team sports specialists. The latter are opportunists who focus solely on winning and do well out of it. ?The most altruistic players are the main losers in the Bluegill Sunbass Game: they keep the game alive but contribute to their own defeat. In our experiment, the most altruistic players tended to be the females and the individual sports specialists

Bruxas e princesas : Sobre rivalidade femenina e a construção da imagem da boa esposa

En el mito de Psique, narrado por Apuleyo en El Asno de Oro, encontramos el origen de diversos motivos narrativos, presentes en los cuentos de hadas. Estas historias tienen personajes que pasan por una especie de rito de iniciación y deben demostrar que son dignas de una recompensa muy deseada: un matrimonio feliz. Para alcanzar la felicidad, las heroínas necesitan superar desafíos. Quienes imponen obstáculos a esas princesas son las villanas de las historias. Las dos imágenes femininas representan una lucha entre el bien y el mal. Buscamos en nuestro trabajo hacer una conexión entre el mito de Psique y los cuentos de hadas de Blancanieves, Cenicienta y la Bella Durmiente, para demostrar que las heroínas de estas historias, para ser dignas de un final feliz, necesitan superar desafíos, que sirven para sacralizar el sentimiento amoroso y mejorar la imagen de la buena esposa
