Oficinas sobre sexualidade com adolescentes: um estudo de caso

Adolescents are commonly seen in a “sexless” way so that when the first sexual expressions appear in our young people they are permeated by worry and fear. In this context, the school spread the vision of sex and sexuality, as hazardous due to risks of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. Thus, seeking to encourage reflection on the part of adolescents with regard to sexual life, workshops were developed with 15 students in a seventh grade student at a state school in the city of Jaboticabal, São Paulo. The findings of this research indicate that adolescents have conceptions of sexuality marked by repression, including the maintenance of sex roles traditionally established. The implementation of interventions in the form of workshops revealed that the group has become an area that favors the reconstruction and rebuilding of meanings through the questions and judgment of values and attitudes socially imposed.

Métodos de estimativa de peso e altura na avaliação de desnutrição de pacientes com câncer

To calculate the estimated and actual height and weight measures in cancer patients, evaluate the correlation and concordance of these measures and to identify the malnutrition patients. 62 cancer patients, treated at the Amaral Carvalho Hospital (Jaú- SP). For classifi cation of nutritional status, the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, the Body Mass Index and the relationship with usual weight were used. For the estimated weight was used the algorithm Chumlea et al.7 and estimated height, the equation proposed by Chumlea et al.8 and Kwok & Whitelaw24. The Pearson Correlation Coeffi cient and the Intraclass Correlation Coeffi cient was calculated and simple linear regression was conducted. To compare the malnutrition detected by different methods, the Cochran’s Q test were performed. There was a strong and signifi cant correlation between the estimated and actual weight (r=0,95; CI95%=0,92-0,97; p<0,001) and excellent concordance (ρ=0,95). For height measurements, a signifi cant correlation was observed between the actual and estimated measurement the method Chumlea et al.8 (r=0,78; CI95%=0,66-0,86; p<0,001) and Kwok & Whitelaw24 (r=0,85; CI95%: 0,75-0,90; p<0,001). Concordance was “Good” (ρ=0,72) and “Moderate” (ρ=0,67) between the actual height and estimated by Chumlea et al.8 and Kwok & Whitelaw,24 respectively. There was a strong correlation between the actual and estimated weight and height measures. The reproducibility of the equation proposed by Chumlea et al.8 to calculate height was better. The nutritional status, the patients classifi ed as malnutrition was greater when using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment and the relationship with usual weight.

A identidade feminina em The Magic Toyshop: estudos de gênero no texto e na tela

Besides producing a vast literary work, Angela Carter (1940-1992) participated of the screenplay’s production for two movies based on her books, The Company of Wolves and The Magic Toyshop. Either through the influence that cinema had in her life or through the very own style of her writing, the relation of the British author with the seventh art is visible. Considering the importance of significations in literary works, this paper proposes a comparative study between Angela Carter’s The Magic Toyshop (1967) and the film of the same title, based on Carter’s novel, directed by David Wheatley and produced by Granada Television, in 1987. Based on Tania Carvalhal’s conception about intertextuality and film theories, the focus of this paper is the gender study, since its ideology is subscribed, represented and reproduced in every cultural practice, including literature and cinema. The characters construction in both cases, especially the female characters, is filled with symbols which are going to bring the film closer to the literary work and contribute to express the critics suggested in the work’s leading: the complaint to the patriarchal system. However, given the different nature of each work, it is necessary to stress that this present comparison doesn’t intend to establish a total identification between novel and film, but to set a dialogue between both, observing the approximation and distance of these two instances.

Correlações entre escores visuais e características produtivas em prova de ganho de peso de bovinos da raça Nelore Mocha

The objective was evaluate the phenotypic correlations among visual scores, performance traits and scrotal circumference of the polled Nelore cattle performance tests. Animals of the fifth, sixth, seventh official performance test in pasture were analysed. At the end of each test period the following measures were taken: adjusted weight to 550 days, gain weight, visual score (body structure; precocity and muscle) and scrotal circumference. The musculature, precocity and body structure showed significant positive correlations (P <0.01) with gain weight, adjusted average daily weight to 550 days, scrotal circumference and chest circumference. However, only hip height showed a significant positive correlation with muscularity. Therefore, in polled Nelore cattle, regards to performance test in pasture, the visual scores show positive correlation with the performance traits and scrotal circumference, showing that visual scores is important tool in the polled Nelore Cattle performance test.

A questão do espaço na ficção midiática

Space is certainly one of the most important basic narrative categories to be considered when studying different fictional media formats; it encompasses a range of rich attributes. While we perceive the preference cinema gives to this narrative category by the fact that the Seventh Art is known as the “art of space”, the occurrence of digital media makes us realize that space has to be explored virtually, providing the interacting person with the feeling that he, too, has room in the fictional world.

Prospecção de protótipos antifúngicos contra biofilmes de Histoplasma capsulatum e Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

A paracoccidioidomicose é uma doença de grande impacto social, sendo a sétima causa de morte entre as doenças crônicas infecciosas no Brasil, que responde por mais de 80% dos casos relatados mundialmente. A histoplasmose é uma micose endêmica em determinadas regiões das Américas, onde causa surtos frequentes. Sabe-se que os dois fungos dimórficos causadores destas doenças, Paracoccioides brasiliensis (Pb) e Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc), respectivamente, são capazes de formar biofilme, uma forma de organização que os torna muito mais perigosos, difíceis de serem combatidos e que é essencial para o desenvolvimento de infecção. Além disso não existem muitas opções terapêuticas antifúngicas que não sejam tóxicas com o uso prolongado disponíveis no mercado atualmente. Estes fatos, deixam claro a necessidade de pesquisar novas formas de combater esses microrganismos, com o intuito de desenvolver fármacos menos tóxicos e mais eficientes. Uma nova possibilidade de opções terapêuticas com novas substância antifúngica são as chalconas, que foi o objeto de estudo desta pesquisa. Foi estudada a ação antifúngica de diversas moléculas de chalconas contra as formas planctônica e de biofilme dos dois fungos em questão. As chalconas que apresentaram menor valor de CIM90 durante os ensaios com a forma planctônica foram selecionadas para o teste contra biofilme fúngico, estas chalconas foram T3, T24, T19, J4 e A20. Foi observado que estas substâncias possuem atividade antifúngica capaz de inibir 90% do crescimento fúngico do biofilme de Pb. Em relação ao biofilme de Hc, não obtivemos uma inibição de 90% com nenhuma molécula, a chalcona T3 foi a que apresentou a maior inibição atingindo 70%. Também foi estudado a citotoxicidade destas chalconas e algumas delas apresentaram bons valores de seletividade para o Pb, como a T3, T24, T19 e A20 porém, em relação ao Hc, apenas a T3 apresentou um valor de seletividade...
