Organização nuclear do sistema serotonérgico no encéfalo de morcegos Artibeus planirostris

Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a substance found in many tissues of the body, including the nervous system acting as a neurotransmitter. Within the neuro-axis, the location of the majority of the 5-HT neurons is superimposed with raphe nuclei of the brain stem, in the median line or its vicinity, so that neuronal 5-HT can be considered a marker of the raphe nuclei. Serotonergic neurons are projected to almost all areas of the brain. Studies show the participation of serotonin in regulating the temperature, feeding behavior, sexual behavior, biological rhythms, sleep, locomotor function, learning, among others. The anatomy of these groups has been revised in many species, including mouse, rabbit, cat and primates, but never before in a bat species from South America. This study aimed to characterize the serotonergic clusters in the brain of the bat Artibeus planirostris through immunohistochemistry for serotonin. Seven adult bat males of Artibeus planirostris species (Microchiroptera, Mammalia) were used in this study. The animals were anesthetized, transcardially perfused and their brains were removed. Coronal sections of the frozen brain of bats were obtained in sliding microtome and subjected to immunohistochemistry for 5-HT. Delimit the caudal linear (CLi), dorsal (DR), median (MnR), paramedian (PMnR), pontine (PNR), magnus (MgR), pallidus (RPA) and obscurus (ROb) raphe nucleus, in addition to the groups B9 and rostral and caudal ventrolateral (RVL/CVL). The serotonergic groups of this kind of cheiroptera present morphology and cytoarchitecture relatively similar to that described in rodents and primates, confirming the phylogenetic stability of these cell clusters.

Projeto ético-político do serviço social e organização política da categoria: dilemas e tensões contemporâneas

The present study was to apprehend the controversies that underlie the political organization of the category nowadays. The research established time frame as the decade from 2003 to 2013, more precisely the situation that opens with Lula's election to the Presidency and its repercussions for the Brazilian left, social movements and for the category. Through documentary research, we studied the professional aspects that are organized politically in different fields , notably the Federal Council of Social Service (CFESS) and the National Federation of Social Workers (FENAS). Seeking to understand their relationship with the Ethical - Political Project of the profession, public documents were analyzed expressing the political positions of these entities, placing the controversies and political differences between them and understanding the political organization as a means to building professionals and corporate projects many.

Levantamentos epidemiológicos em saúde bucal: análise da metodologia proposta pela Organização Mundial da Saúde

Epidemiological surveys are important for obtaining information on the prevalence and etiology of mouth diseases, since the data collected permit health actions to be planned, performed, and assessed. Methodological uniformity is necessary, however, to maintain reproductibility, validity, and reliability, and to allow national and international comparisons. The initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) as an advisor in ongoing surveys has been extremely useful, stimulating standardization in all countries. In 1991, a Portuguese version of the 1987 third edition of Oral Health Surveys - basic methods, an instruction manual for performing epidemiological surveys, was published and became a reference for many parts of Brazil and the World. The present analysis found conflicting points in relation to the sample size, calibration of the examiners, and criteria for evaluating oral health and treatment needs. In conclusion, due to the dynamic characteristics of scientific knowledge and, considering the regional differences in relation to the development of oral diseases, we recommend that proposals for standardizing surveys be checked periodically. Other important issues may have not been detected in this analysis, urging a thorough discussion within the dentistry community as a whole.

A organização da educação no território federal do Amapá: do "ideal" ao real, do liberal ao conservador (1943-1958)

The present study on “organization education on Amapá’s Federal Territory (1943-1958)”, looked forward to answering the following questions: Was there an educational policy, in a systemic way, on the former Amapá’s federal territory? On the other hand, what were the main initiatives of the first intervenors for the education dissemination? After facing these questions, we established, as hypothesis, that the developed actions in the education’s scope on that territory back in the 40’s and 50’s were not able to implant an educational project in Amapá, since there was no preoccupation to understanding the sociocultural reality of Amapá’s population. Given this hypothesis, we analyzed the relation between the political practices developed by the first intervenor on the territory and the brazilian political scenario, from the legal-administrative nature of the federal entities and political conjuncture of the “New State” (1937-1945). To achieve that, we sought some similarities between Janary Gentil Nunes’s ways of governing and Getúlio Vargas’s political actions. To make this happen, it was necessary to check official documents out, as well as unofficial ones, especially the old articles published by “Amapá”, the local newspaper, official press tool back then, which disseminated the beliefs and values of the constituted authorities, with the purpose of “strengthen” the “modernization” ideal on the people. Such practice was based on the attempt of breaking off sociocultural economic backwardness of the territory, hiding out the reality of the Amapá’s population, marked by poverty, a high illiteracy rate and the typical tropical diseases from Amazon (Malaria). During the rupture’s process between the old and the modern, the education takes on a major role in the official speech, being used as political advertisement and as essential element to the modernization and to the development of a “new man”: now “civilized”. However, the investigation on the expansion of the elementary education in Amapá, showed us the presence of a significant number of rural schools, in contradiction to the disseminated urban modernization promise around there. In this sense, we can affirm that educational policy on Amapá’s territory failed by reasons of being based on the “transplantation” of the Federal District’s educational project, and it is important to recall that, back then, the brazilian Federal District was Rio de Janeiro. Despite the public agents had established uncountable schools on rural areas, these were not carried out from a more systemic process, this is, considering the reality of the Amazon’s "cabloco". So, we observed the existence of the separation between the modern speech and the maintenance of old oligarchic practices by that time.

Organização de Aprendizagem e Administração do Conhecimento: estudo de caso do Porto de Suape - PE

Este trabalho pretende refletir o papel da organização de aprendizagem e administração do conhecimento como condição de necessidade para o desenvolvimento das organizações no século XXI. São cinco as disciplinas que vêm convergindo para facilitar a inovação nas organizações que aprendem. Embora desenvolvidas separadamente, cada uma delas é crucial para o sucesso das outras quatro. São elas: Domínio pessoal, Modelos mentais, Objetivo comum (visão compartilhada), Aprendizado em grupo e Raciocínio sistêmico (a quinta disciplina). A quinta disciplina - raciocínio sistêmico - é o alicerce da organização que aprende. É fundamental que as cinco disciplinas funcionem em conjunto. Este é um grande desafio, pois é muito mais difícil integrar novos instrumentos do que aplicá-los separadamente. Nesse sentido, o problema levantado por este estudo consistiu em verificar por que as organizações não atuam através de uma política de aprendizagem e administração do conhecimento. A metodologia utilizada na presente pesquisa quanto aos fins de investigação foi quantitativa, a presente pesquisa foi descritiva e quanto aos meios de investigação a pesquisa foi bibliográfica e estudo de caso. Conclui-se a pesquisa afirmando que a aprendizagem organizacional pressupõe, também, a maior capacidade de absorver as mudanças. Para que isso aconteça, é necessário criar, adquirir e transferir conhecimentos, mudando o próprio comportamento em função de novos conhecimentos e perspectivas. / This work aims to reflect the role of learning organization and knowledge management as a condition necessary for the development of organizations in the XXI century. There are five disciplines that are converging to facilitate innovation in learning organizations. Although developed separately, each is crucial to the success of the other four. They are: personal mastery, mental models, common goal(shared vision), Learning and Reasoning systemic group (the fifth discipline). The fifth discipline - systems thinking - is the foundation of the organization that learns. It is essential that the five disciplines to work together. This is a great challenge because it is much more difficult to integrate new tools than applying them separately. In this sense, the problem raised by this study was to determine why organizations do not operate through a policy of learning and knowledge management. The methodology used in this research as to the purpose of research was quantitative, this research was descriptive and the means of investigation was the research literature and case study. It follows research by stating that organizational learning also implies a greater capacity to absorb change. For that to happen, it is necessary to create, acquire and transfer knowledge, changing their own behavior in light of new knowledge and perspectives.
