Stress Parental e Desempenho Académico

Este estudo pretende verificar se o stress parental influencia o desempenho escolar nas disciplinas de português e matemática de crianças que frequentam o primeiro e o quarto ano de escolaridade numa amostra de 50 mães (26-51 ou mais anos) e 50 crianças (6-11anos) na Escola Básica nº1 da Boavista, Rio Tinto. Utilizou-se o PSI-Índice de Stress Parental (Abidin & Santos, 2003) e a um questionário sociodemográfico. Verificamos que à medida que o stress parental aumenta, o desempenho escolar diminui e encontramos alguns resultados significativos entre as subescalas do PSI e as variáveis sociodemográficas. Concluímos que o stress parental tem alguma influência no desempenho escolar da criança, mas que existem outros fatores que também influenciam significativamente o desempenho.

Evaluating the directional effects of acoustic horn style hearing aids using the QuickSIN procedure

This paper evaluates the directional effects of two hearing devices – an antique London Dome horn style device and a constructed Cupped Hand. The comparisons were made using the Quick SIN (Speech in Noise) adaptive test which measures signal-to-noise ratio loss.

The importance of parental involvement in language acquisition and activities and techniques to enhance the home-school connection

This study discusses the importance of parental involvement in children’s language development, and the related project offers parents books and activities to assist them in developing their children’s linguistic skills.

Parental response to newborn hearing screening

This paper investigates parental response to the results of screening programs mandated by Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UHHS), a Missouri law requiring hearing screenings of all newborns that went into effect January 1, 2002.

Parental observations of children's responses to three sensory aids: cochlear implant, tactile aid, hearing aid

This study discusses a project undertaken to determine the benefits of sensory aids for hearing impaired children based on parental observations over a twelve month period.

Parental response to Universal Newborn Hearing Screening

This paper describes parental response to Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS).

The relation between parental attitudes and cochlear implant benefit in eight and nine year-old children

This paper examines the relation between the speech perception abilities of children with a cochlear implant and parental attitudes.

El síndrome de alienación parental como elemento valorativo de violencia familiar psicológica

El síndrome de alienación parental (SAP) es aquel proceso realizado por el progenitor consistente en programar una conducta de rechazo al otro progenitor sin una justificación objetiva. La conducta alienante la realiza el progenitor con el derecho a la tenencia del hijo; sin embargo, el otro progenitor ante tal conducta, cuando tiene acceso al hijo (a través de su derecho a la visita) suele realizar la misma conducta criticable y comienza a generar en el hijo una situación de inestabilidad dado que le exigen una conducta de fidelidad/rechazo que le es imposible de cumplir (conflicto de lealtades). En la mayoría de casos la conducta de los progenitores alienantes, provoca una reacción de temor en el otro, el cual consideramos “progenitor débil”, por cuanto es víctima de violencia familiar (tanto física como psicológica).

Survival, Pb-uptake and behaviour of three species of earthworm in Pb treated soils determined using an OECD-style toxicity test and a soil avoidance test

Mature (clitellate) Eisenia andrei Bouche (ultra epigeic), Lumbricus rubellus Hoffmeister (epigeic), and Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny) (endogeic) earthworms were placed in soils treated with Pb(NO3)(2) to have concentrations in the range 1000 to 10 000 mg Pb kg(-1). After 28 days LC50(-95%confidence limit) (+95%confidence limit) values were E. andrei 5824(-361)(+898) mg Pb kg(-1), L. rubellus 2867(-193)(+145) mg Pb kg(-1) and A. caliginosa 2747(-304)(+239) mg Pb kg(-1) and EC50s for weight change were E. andrei 2841(-68)(+150) Pb kg(-1), L. rubellus 1303(-201)(+204) mg Pb kg(-1) and A. caliginosa 1208(-206)(+212) Mg Pb kg(-1). At any given soil Pb concentration, Pb tissue concentrations after 28 days were the same for all three earthworm species. In a soil avoidance test there was no difference between the behaviour of the different species. The lower sensitivity to Pb exhibited by E. andrei is most likely due to physiological adaptations associated with the modes of life of the earthworms, and could have serious implications for the use of this earthworm as the species of choice in standard toxicological testing.
