Desvelando a vergonha da vivência de trecheiros na contemporaneidade

This research aimed at identifying the existence of the feeling of shame in “trecheiros” (nomads) in the contemporary world and which meanings were built in those people’s lives. Such comprehension was developed based on the questioning regarding the subject, its history, and its relation with the group and with society. The survey was based on the psychosociological approach and the material was built with reports from eight “trecheiros” who use the services of the C.A.M. (Migrants’ Assistance Center) of Assis, in the State of São Paulo. The data were gathered by means of semidirected interviews, with varied lengths of time. The survey enabled the comprehension of the meanings built by the “trecheiros” from the three aspects which identify this contemporary: the registrations of the body, of the action, and of the feeling. Finally, the feeling of shame was found related to these three aspects, marking the relation of uneasiness between shame and contemporary.

Retratos sociológicos: uma metodologia de investigação para a pesquisa em educação

Recently, Bourdieu’s sociological tradition has emerged as an important trend in research in science education. This paper presents some critiques elaborated by Bernard Lahire towards Bourdieu’s sociological approach. The main purpose of our incursion into Lahire’s critique is to argue and introduce the methodology of sociological portraits as an important resource for research in science education. After describing this methodology, it is illustrated with a portrait of dropout on an undergraduate course in chemistry. Diogo’s portrait illustrates, at the empirical level, some basic features of individual dispositions (variability, genesis, transferability, dichotomy and contextuality). From this portrait, it was possible to illustrate how the resonance between students’ and institution’s dispositions helps explain their sense of membership and belonging to the course. Finally, we highlight some potentialities of sociological portraits to the purposes of sociological research in science education.

Dificuldades de aprendizagem no contexto escolar: perspectivas para sua compreensão e superação

Inside my participation in the Teacher Education for the Educational Service of Students with Learning Disabilities extension project, which serves elementary school students which are presented by the school as students with learning desabilities in reading and writing, and in view of the large amount of material already published in relation of this issue it is necessary theoretical depth to better understand these entitled desabilities. Considering as how they are perceived and diagnosed by the school team, worked in the context of the classroom, understood by the parents and how these difficulties intefere in the lives of these students. It is known that due to these difficulties many students end up producing a feeling of school failure, a fact that leads, in many cases, to the dropout of these students. Given the need to discuss such pressing issues I present as the goal of this paper: characterize what learning to write and reading difficulties really are and speculate what are the possibilities of educational interventions within the school context to motivate and assist in overcoming the students‟ learning difficulties. Using resources such as a record notebook, activities already implemented, and leaning on the concept of school failure and learning difficulties, the metodology of this study is defined as documentary literature

Methods: there were interviews with questions related to discriminatory attitudes suffered, access and health care. Results: 130 individuals participated in the survey, from which 30 (23.1%) reported events of discrimination suffered outside the center of reference, predominantly from surgeon-dentists and 112 (86.2%) believed to have the same access and health care as other citizens. 62 (47.7%) treated with the dental center of reference, of which 56 (90.3%) felt good being treated in a dental unit only for HIV positive and six (9.7%) were indifferent, believed to be more exposed, or have a bias to attend dental seropositive individuals. Conclusion: it is concluded that many patients have already been discriminated against outside the reference center. However, most of them have a positive feeling towards the treatment received at a specifi c place for treating HIV-positive patients, due to the feeling of being welcome at that place due to the humanization and access to health care.

Avaliação sensorial quantitativa da sensibilidade dentária com o uso de um dessensibilizante

O tratamento clareador se destaca por ser uma técnica conservadora, que pode proporcionar elevação da autoestima e melhorar o convívio social das pessoas. No entanto, pacientes expostos a essa terapia experimentam diferentes níveis de ocorrência e de intensidade de sensibilidade dentária. Essa sintomatologia é preocupante, pois tem sido apontada como o reflexo de uma eventual resposta pulpar frente ao tratamento realizado. Por outro lado, a presença de dor é desestimulante aos pacientes, prejudicando a evolução do tratamento e reduzindo o sentimento de satisfação. Apesar dessa importância, a maior parte dos estudos de sensibilidade dentária ainda emprega métodos subjetivos, dificultando a reprodutibilidade e interpretação dos resultados. Objetivo: nesse sentido, o presente artigo objetiva analisar a resposta neurossensorial proporcionada pela aplicação de estímulos térmicos gerados pelo equipamento TSA II (Medoc TSA II Neurosensory Analyzer, Israel), em um paciente submetido ao tratamento clareador, seguido pelo uso ou não uso de um dessensibilizante. Métodos: as análises foram realizadas antes do clareamento (AC), depois do clareamento (DC) e depois da aplicação ou não do dessensibilizante (DD) em cada hemiarcada estudada. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste t de Student, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: observou-se que o clareamento dentário alterou o limiar de sensação ao frio, provocando aumento da sensibilidade dentária, e que o uso do dessensibilizante foi efetivo. Conclusão: o uso de testes sensoriais quantitativos mostrou-se promissor para o estudo da sensibilidade dentária, podendo colaborar no estabelecimento de terapias seguras e confortáveis.
