Potencialidades e dificuldades interpessoais de universitários: estudo de caracterização

The interpersonal development can stimulate quality social relationship and promote people´s health. Interpersonal relationships are demanded by the university context, which requires the students to develop and to express socially skillful behaviors. However, diffi culties in interpersonal relationship in the university are common. Characterization studies can help the identifi cation of diffi culties and behavioral potentialities of students and promote effi cient trainings with college students This research aimed to: a) describe the prevalence of reports of university students who sought for psychological help, as the behavior called social skills, (b) identify the partners (family, boyfriend (a), friends, colleagues, teachers) with whom such responses are issued, (c) describe consequences reported by students that occur in the interaction with such parties. Data were obtained from semi structured interviews and IHS-Del Prette instrument. The interviews data were categorized by the analysis content and IHS-Del Prette data were computed according to concerning instructions. The outcomes describe potentialities and diffi culties that the students presented in relation to the social skills according to different aspects: university, work, love relationship, friends and family. The behaviors reported with higher frequency are related to speaking in public, talking to the partner about the relationship, speaking with friends and family members and fl irt. It was also observed that in all the categories the behaviors had as consequence more punishing than reinforcing events. The outcomes obtained of IHS-Del Prette found out that 50% of the sample showed [ok] poor social skills repertoire demanding training.

Enantioselective analysis of unbound tramadol, O-desmethyltramadol and N-desmethyltramadol in plasma by ultrafiltration and LC-MS/MS: Application to clinical pharmacokinetics

This study describes the enantioselective analysis of unbound and total concentrations of tramadol and its main metabolites O-desmethyltramadol (M1) and N-desmethyltramadol (M2) in human plasma. Sample preparation was preceded by an ultrafiltration step to separate the unbound drug. Both the ultrafiltrate and plasma samples were submitted to liquid/liquid extraction with methyl t-butyl ether. Separation was performed on a Chiralpak (R) AD column and tandem mass spectrometry consisting of an electrospray ionization source, positive ion mode and multiple reaction monitoring was used as the detection system. Linearity was observed in the following ranges: 0.2-600 and 0.5-250 ng/mL for analysis of total and unbound concentrations of the tramadol enantiomers, respectively, and 0.1-300 and 0.25-125 ng/mL for total and unbound concentrations of the M1 and M2 enantiomers, respectively. The lower limits of quantitation were 0.2 and 0.5 ng/mL for analysis of total and unbound concentration of each tramadol enantiomer, respectively, and 0.1 and 0.25 ng/mL for total and unbound concentrations of M1 and M2 enantiomers, respectively. Intra- and interassay reproducibility and inaccuracy did not exceed 15%. Clinical application of the method to patients with neuropathic pain showed plasma accumulation of (+)-tramadol and (+)-M2 after a single oral dose of racemic tramadol. Fractions unbound of tramadol, M1 or M2 were not enantioselective in the patients investigated. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Oral myiasis in an elderly patient

Background: Myiasis is the invasion of living tissue of humans and other mammals by eggs or maggots of flies of the order of Diptera. It occurs mainly in the Tropics and is associated with inadequate public and personal hygiene. Oral myiases in an older man appears to be rare. Objective: To relate a case of oral myiases in a debilitated older man treated by mechanical removal of the maggots, identifying the adult insect that caused the infestation. Methods: The diagnosis of oral myiasis was established by the clinical examination and it was detected that the infestation involved only soft tissue and the sinus cavity. The patient was submitted to two mechanical removal of the visible maggots. Results: Total of 110 maggots was removed from the oral cavity of the patient and adult insects was identified as belonging to the Calliphoridae Family, Cochliomyia hominivorax species. The patient died two days after the second procedure by severe systemic complications. Conclusions: The mechanic removal and the identification of the maggots must be adopted as soon as possible to prevent further tissue damage and bacterial infection in cases of oral myiasis. Special attention should be given to the debilitated old patients that are particularly susceptible to oral myiasis infestation.

Das saudades que se tem: a representação paterna na escrita autobiográfica de Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós

In our work, we analyze some works of Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós that compose the “autobiographical cycle”, especially those ones that bring the image of father’s absence/presence, the relationship between life and writing, as well as the father’s figurations and his intermediates and substitutes. We especially investigated the aspect of repetition about how the family relations are articulated, highlighting those ones that happen between father and son and that appear in these texts. This problematic interested us as a research object, a priori, because the works of Bartholomeu Campos de Queirós are an exponent of literature for children field, as far as they show that the childhood is not always “colorful”, happy and perfect as several productions supposedly made “for children” seek to have us believe. In addition, the selected texts that have an autobiographical characteristic and put the issue of child suffering because of the father’s absence are configured as a very rich corpus for studies related to the relation between life/work and investigations in the dialogue between Literature and Psychoanalysis. These aspects will permit us to understand why the pain of missing father be repetitive and insistent in these books. Thus, we problematize, by the selected works for this study, the concept of literature for children and young people and the notion of literary reading. We also analyzed in the “statements” given by the author the relationship between life and writing and we investigated, based on psychoanalytic studies, the literary writing as a possibility of both unconscious development of memory marked by the father’s absence – remedy – as of a perpetuation of this same conflict – poison. Furthermore, we analyzed how the relationship between son and father are processed considering the mother’s absence, since the works that have this person’s presence, she seems to mediate such relationships in a certain way.

A PRESENÇA NA GEOGRAFIA DE JOSUÉ DE CASTRO

Este artigo trata da citação ou não das obras de Josué de Castro nas publicações referentes à Geografia, principalmente no Brasil, durante o século XX. Discute-se se ele pode ser considerado geógrafo ou não, seu ponto de vista sobre a Geografia, sua proposta de divisão regional e a visão da Geografia oficial do período. Procurou-se ainda verificar a presença do autor em livros didáticos, em revistas especializadas e em alguns livros. No final, levanta algumas hipóteses que ajudam a entender o seu esquecimento pela Geografia.

Una retrospectiva a El Niño 1982-83: ¿qué hemos aprendido?

El "Niño del siglo" 1982-83, debido a sus peculiaridades inesperadas, sorprendió fuertemente a la comunidad científica. Como consecuencia, incluso en las ciencias biológicas marinas, donde los efectos fueron drásticos y a menudo obvios, en general se colectó menos información de lo que hubiera sido posible y deseable. De este panorama hay algunas excepciones, principalmente en lo referente al estudio de las comunidades bénticas y costeras. La reciente información acumulada en estos campos forma la base para una evaluación crítica del avance científico durante y después del fenómeno. Al mismo tiempo permite la ubicación de problemas y la formulación de proyectos de investigación para el futuro. Si bien es evidente que en este momento ya disponemos de una visión más clara de los efectos inmediatos, sean positivos o negativos, de un fenómeno extraordinariamente fuerte, la incertidumbre ante un nuevo El Niño mucho más tenue en 1986-87, nos dió una lección que hay que evaluar. Por otro lado, se ha avanzado muy poco en el estudio de los mecanismos que desencadenan elevadas mortandades de algunas especies y la proliferación inusual de otras. Sin embargo, ya tenemos alguna visión más integral sobre el efecto latitudinal, la gradiente vertical, los efectos previos a la llegada de las ondas Kelvin, los efectos post-Niño y los efectos de largo plazo. No obstante, hasta el momento, sólo podemos hipotetizar tanto sobre la historia evolutiva de El Niño, como sobre su significancia para el origen de las comunidades marinas del presente. Las investigaciones futuras deben tener un enfoque multidisciplinario, sin descuidar los aspectos básicos. Esto debería implicar: un mayor esfuerzo de las universidades a lo largo del litoral pacífico; investigaciones más continuadas; trabajos experimentales comparativos en diferentes lugares, a fin de saber más sobre los mecanismos involucrados; una mayor cooperación entre los científicos que trabajan en comunidades y problemas semejantes de las diversas latitudes; y un mayor intercambio de información entre los investigadores de comunidades actuales, paleontólogos, sedimentólogos y arqueólogos. Se concluye que sin duda hemos aprendido algo durante El Niño 1982-83; sin embargo, estaríamos aprovechando muy poco si no aceptamos nuestro reto de continuar profundizando estas investigaciones.
