A Síndrome do Respirador Bucal (SRB) ocasiona características físicas e comportamentais que interferem na qualidade de vida da criança. O Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) pode estar relacionado à respiração bucal no indivíduo, bem como a presença de Distúrbios Respiratórios do Sono (DRS). Por outro lado, estudos indicam que a adenotonsilectomia reduz a ocorrência de comportamentos sugestivos de TDAH em portadores de SRB, bem como produz melhora significativa nos DRS. Pretendeu-se caracterizar a condição sociodemográfica e de risco e analisar padrões comportamentais indicadores de TDAH e os hábitos de sono de crianças com diagnóstico de Síndrome do Respirador Bucal, observados antes e após a realização de cirurgia de adenoidectomia, tonsilectomia ou adenotonsilectomia. Participaram 44 crianças, de ambos os gêneros, entre dois e 12 anos de idade, atendidas pelo Serviço de Otorrinolaringologia de um hospital universitário, assim como seus cuidadores e professores. A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante aplicação de: (1) Roteiros de entrevistas denominados Informações sobre a família e a criança e História desenvolvimental e médica, aplicados com os cuidadores; (2) Lista de Verificação Comportamental para Crianças – versão para pais (CBCL) e dos critérios para diagnóstico de TDAH do DSM-IV; (2) Lista de Verificação Comportamental para Crianças – versão para professores (TRF); (3) Inventário dos hábitos de sono para crianças pré-escolares e Questionário sobre o comportamento do sono, para escolares; (4) Avaliação comportamental pós-cirúrgica, utilizando-se o CBCL e os Inventários do sono, após dois meses da cirurgia; e (5) Entrevista devolutiva. Os respiradores bucais em sua maioria: (a) eram crianças em período escolar; (b) entre sete e nove anos de idade; (c) do gênero feminino; (d) seu principal cuidador tinha o Ensino Médio Completo; (e) renda familiar mensal entre um e dois salários mínimos; (f) constituição familiar original; e, (g) encontravam-se em risco psicossocial moderado. Observou-se que a maioria das crianças deste estudo teve uma gestação dentro de padrões considerados como normais e seu nascimento se deu de forma adequada; no entanto, uma parcela de respiradores bucais desta amostra ficou cianótica durante ou imediatamente após o parto e apresentou problemas respiratórios nos primeiros meses de vida. A respeito do temperamento do bebê no primeiro ano de vida, grande parte teve dificuldade para dormir, em ser mantido ocupado e foi superativo. A maioria dos marcos desenvolvimentais ocorreu em um período considerado dentro dos padrões típicos do desenvolvimento infantil. Os problemas de saúde mais frequentes foram problemas de apetite e problemas de sono. Tanto as crianças pré-escolares quanto as escolares apresentaram melhoras nos comportamentos característicos do TDAH após a cirurgia, de acordo com dados do CBCL (p=0,723). A maioria dos itens do Inventário dos hábitos de sono para crianças pré-escolares teve redução na frequência dos hábitos inadequados e aumento dos adequados. No Questionário sobre o comportamento do sono, uma minoria apresentou problemas de sono na avaliação pós-cirúrgica e a maior parte dos problemas de sono sofreu redução de frequência. As maiores reduções ocorreram em movimenta-se muito enquanto dorme e ronca enquanto dorme (p=0,000). Sugere-se a avaliação multidisciplinar preventiva da respiração bucal e a incorporação de um grupo controle em estudos futuros, composto por indivíduos respiradores nasais.

O acompanhamento do desenvolvimento de bebês implica na consideração de fatores de risco para os mesmos e na utilização de instrumentos que possibilitem a identificação de defasagens, comportamentais, visando à elaboração de intervenções pontuais junto a pais e outros cuidadores. O presente estudo prendendeu descrever variáveis distais e proximais do desenvolvimento de uma amostra de bebês, a partir de suas características peculiares, bem como das dos seus familiares e avaliar o repertório comportamental dos bebês, correlacionando-o com variáveis de risco como prematuridade, baixo peso ao nascer e filhos de mães adolescentes, comparando-o com bebês sem condição de risco identificada. Pretendeu, também, identificar comportamentos típicos nas áres do desenvolvimento avaliadas pelo inventário portage operacionalizado, mês a mês, durante o primeiro ano de vida, utilizando os critérios de estabilização, normalização e aparecimento destes comportamentos entre os meninos e meninas. Participaram do estudo 217 bebês que foram avaliados no decorrer do primeiro ano de vida, sendo que 33% eram prematuros, 28% filhos de mães adolescentes, 11% com baixo peso nascidos a termo, 3% sindrômicos ou filhos de mães portadoras de HIV+ e 25% do Grupo Controle, sem condições de risco identificado no nascimento. Os dados foram coletados a partir da entrevista inicial e da avaliação mensal do inventário. Os dados foram coletados a partir da entrevista inicial e da aplicação mensal do inventário portage operacionalizado (IPO), em um Centro de Psicologia Aplicada de uma universidade pública. Os desempenhos dos bebês no IPO e as condições de risco identificadas foram submetidas ao tratamento por meio do Statistic Package Social for Science (SPSS, versão 12.0). para a identificação de comportamentos típicos utilizaram-se os critérios de Estabilização...

The objective of this research was to describe the use of an augmentative and alternative system for a student with cerebral palsy during intervention. A 10-year-old male student with cerebral palsy participated in this investigation. He attended special classes for people with disability in a public school in a city of the interior of Sao Paulo. The scheduled activities were carried out twice a week for two years at the Laboratory of Special Education of a public University of São Paulo. All of the tapes describing the activities that were filmed during the assessment and implementation of augmentative and alternative communication resource were watched and described using a specific protocol. Based on the information from the protocols, the sessions with intervals greater than 20 days and the ones with activities involving the communication board with the time equal or greater than 20 minutes during the first year of intervention were selected. The chosen sessions were transcribed in full and, after analyzing the text, the following categories were established, according to the stated goal: the graphic system helped the student with utterances of vertical structure (56%) associated with the oral (14%) and non-oral and non-verbal form (30%), while the use of the graphic system along with other forms collaborated to enhance statements, enabling better understanding of the child s intention. The use of augmentative and alternative communication systems provided the expansion of effective dialogical situations for the student during the activities carried out in speech therapy.

The aim of this study was to compare the mean scores of perceived risk factors for the development of musculoskeletal disorders in dental students presently pursuing work/study, according to gender, course series, and the presence of pain/discomfort. The participants were 348 students from the undergraduate course in dentistry at a Brazilian public university. The instrument on work-related factors that could contribute to osteomuscular symptoms and part of the Nordic questionnaire were used. The psychometric properties of the first instrument were estimated. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed that the instrument had a tri-factorial structure (s2 retained: 62.72 percent). The retained factors were repetitiveness, work posture, and external factors. The internal consistency and reproducibility were adequate (α=0.746 to 0.873; p=0.729 to 0.940). Lower mean scores of perceived external factors were observed for the male participants, as well as lower scores in the three dimensions of the instrument for first-year students of the course and for those who did not report pain/discomfort in the neck, feet, and ankles. The authors concluded that the perception of risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders reported in the work/study environment of dental students was significantly related to gender, the course series, and the presence of pain/discomfort.

Most research on the psychology of morality defines moral as the rules and values whose purpose is to regulate interpersonal relations. In this study, although I have considered such premise valid, I have also taken into account aspects related to the self. Thus, aiming at verifying whether university students are guided by values which are public, private and/or linked to glory, I have analyzed the values prioritized by them. Informants were 170 first-year psychology undergraduates in a public university located in western São Paulo state, male and female, with an average age of 20 years. To collect the data, I applied a questionnaire concerning factual factors (age, sex and religion) and the values cherished by the undergraduates. The results – analyzed according to the psychology of virtues – have shown that approximately 70% of the valid answers given by students pointed friendship (32%) and intelligence (35%) as the most prioritized values. Public values were hardly mentioned. Concerning the forms of glory, although the percentage for money and fame was not significant, when the informants justified the choice of friendship and intelligence, they conceived such values as a means to obtain money and fame. I have concluded that these individuals give little importance to the values related to duties (which are public) and to some form of individual harmony.

Internationally there are validated instruments that are used on a large scale to verify the information literacy of individuals in different contexts. Their results serve as a diagnostic for the planning and implementation of information literacy activities. In Brazil there is no validated assessment tools of information literacy. An analysis of contents of four international instruments attached to the upper level educational institutions duly recognized in the literature of the field and validated. The results will be presented related to information literacy addressed in these instruments. It was found that the instruments analyzed the skills focused on the identification of terms of the informational needs, the preparation and construction of search strategies available in parameter two of the Association of College and Research Libraries; differentiation of information sources (parameter one); evaluation and selection of informational sources and selection of the theme searched information (parameter three); and, finally, the abilities of the ethical issue related to use of the information (parameter five). The parameter four, which is facing the communication of information, was not addressed by the instruments. It was concluded that there is a concern of those responsible for preparing the instruments covered with more traditional technical aspects of training users and aspects of information literacy at the expense of ethical and aesthetic aspects.

Studies show that children with Down’s syndrome have deficits in social skills, which can interfere in their social interactions and also in their academic performance. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical significance and reliable change in repertory of social skills of a child with Down’s syndrome, from interventions in the clinic, at home and at school. A seven year old girl with Down’s Syndrome who had frequented the first year of regular school, her parents and her teacher participated in this study. They were attending in a Center of Applied Psychology, of a public university in São Paulo State. Before and after the intervention parents and teacher answered the Rating System Social Skills (SSRS). The intervention with the child had been conducted for six months, through playful activities in weekly meetings. It was discussed various topics related to social skills with parents and teacher in biweekly and monthly meetings. The results were analyzed using JT method. With parents, comparing the two assessments conducted, the data pointed to positive change reliable for four of the six skills assessed. Of the five skills assessed by the teacher, one of them was not in the clinical level since the first application. The other two went from clinical to non-clinical level, featuring reliable positive change. The study showed the importance of pre and post measures in case study, enabling the assessment of the effects of the intervention performed on the various factors of social skills. Further studies with larger populations may ratify the data obtained.

PIBID's subproject from the Letras course at a public university from the interior of Sao Paulo has, as a vision, the teaching of languages in a different way, where the culture is something to be known, not only mentioned, and, because of that, students feel close to the language learning process, for the language is not something to be learned just as grammar, it is, in fact, to be learned as something more complex than that, making the connection between student and language and its values. The students have, as an objective the knowledge and formation in teaching, by participation in public schools where they could put the theory learned during the Letras course in the university in practice with students that could benefit from learning new languages. The public school, mentioned in this research, offered the opportunity for the PIBID students to participate in a project that already existed in this school, where the students were supposed to produce a script based in a tale, and with the script, they were supposed to produce a short movie and a trailer. In 2014, in the first year of the participation of PIBID in the project, PIBID students were asked to choose a tale in the languages that are currently part of the subproject, for the students could use as a base to the production of the short movie. This project is called Luz, Câmera… Action! and the main objective of this research was to verify the participation of PIBID in the project. For such, it was used a semi-structured open questionnaire, which sought to investigate how students and supervisors from the school understood and analyzed PIBID's participation in the project

Objetivou-se identificar as especialidades mais desejadas pelos alunos de Medicina do Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará (Cesupa) e fatores determinantes dessa escolha. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e analítico, realizado mediante aplicação de questionários a alunos do primeiro, quarto e sexto anos, no período de novembro de 2012 a março de 2013. A maioria dos alunos era do sexo masculino (59,2%), com média de idade de 22 ± 2 anos, possuindo renda familiar acima de dez salários mínimos e apresentando pelo menos um parente médico. As principais especialidades escolhidas foram: Cirurgia Plástica (10,4%), Endocrinologia (15,7%), e Oftalmologia (14,0%) no primeiro, quarto e sexto anos, respectivamente. O principal fator influenciador na escolha no primeiro ano foi a influência dos pais (17,2%), e no quarto e sexto anos o fator financeiro, com 15,8% e 22,8%, respectivamente. Conclui-se que muitos fatores influenciam a escolha de especialidades, sendo necessário buscar formas de atrair alunos para áreas de caráter mais generalista.
