Sustentabilidade de EES: contribuições e desafios do PITCPES/UFPA a partir da análise da Cooperativa dos Fruticultores de Abaetetuba COFRUTA

The study aimed to understand how the methodology of hatching contributes to the sustainability of economic enterprises in solidarity. For analysis, we developed a study on the social economy and the incubation methodology, based on the program of teaching, research and extension - Technological Incubator of Popular Cooperatives and Entrepreneurship Solidarity (PITCPES), and as the survey of the Cooperative of Fruit of Abaetetuba - COFRUTA. We started from the exploratory-descriptive approach in a qualitative and quantitative, in order to demonstrate the process of sustainability under the dimensions of different kinds such as: the economic dimension, social dimension, the political dimension, size and scale management training. Based on the analysis of these different dimensions was reached results as: first the recognition that the incubator contributes to the sustainability of COFRUTA, especially with regard to planning, control and the need to diversify production. However, there was suggestion of cooperative for training and technical assistance is continued, to the extent that the performance of projects under the base leaves gaps for the learning and application of social technologies required to the Incubator. It also concluded that the dissertation contributes to the team of the incubator can assess their strengths and weaknesses in their performance

Escola ativa como semeadora de sonhos nas turmas multianuais: representações das(os) professoras(es) da microrregião de Mossoró-RN.

The issue of multi-classes in schools from the field and methodology for these classes is controversial and contentious, both in terms of teaching, monitoring and organizational, is the perspective of values, training and systematization of public policy. Why the strategy Methodological Active School facing those classes appeared as a significant and exciting topic of research. Thus, it was aimed to apprehend the social representations of active school by teachers (s) to understand the extent to which these representations influence the acceptance and use of the program strategies. Perceiving and analyzing also the various factors related to the management, monitoring and training needs of (the) teachers as alternatives to make this meaningful action. The study focused 112 teachers (s), which for over a year, worked in the program in six municipalities in the micro-region of Rio Grande do Norte / RN - Areia Branca, Baraúna, Grossos, Mossoró, Serra do Mel and Tibau. From this perspective relied on Social Representation Theory and the Theory of the Central Core, attending to the subjectivity of the object searched, inserted in the psychosocial field of knowledge, we opted for multi-methodological approach, using quantitative and qualitative techniques. However, the highlight was a projective technique Free Association of Words from the term Active School is .... The words were systematized by EVOC program, and also applied semi-structured interviews, focusing specific issues that led to trace the socio-demographic profile of (the) participants and wider issues about the object of study. The evocations, justifications and interviews provided the basis for the analysis of the content that followed the steps: formation of the corpus, the composition of the analysis and categorization. The results show the representations an attitude of acceptance and positive appraisal of the participants to the Active School Program. At the core, these representations are objectified around the words "action", "learning", "autonomy" and "interaction". Based on the premise that the representations have a duty to guide the practices and behavior, one can see that the positive attitude of the group favors a systematic methodology and acceptance of the program, but we must look at the changes in management, training, monitoring of (the) teachers (s) and support to schools.

Clinical outcome of a short-term psychotherapeutic intervention for the treatment of dental phobia

Objective: Anxiety before receiving dental treatment is widespread. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of a brief psychologic treatment on adherence to the dental treatment regimen in patients with dental phobia. Method and Materials: Dental phobic patients (n = 160) received 3 sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy that consisted of stress management training and exposure to phobic stimuli. The outcome was determined in terms of 3 subsequent dental visits. Results: Participating patients had not visited a dental clinician for an average of 6 years. Comparison of patients who completed the psychologic treatment with those who dropped out showed that 68% of the former but also 52% of the latter adhered to the subsequent dental treatment regimen. The number of psychologic treatment sessions correlated significantly and positively with anxiety level before treatment. Conclusion: Short-term psychologic therapy of 3 sessions results in a success rate of 70% to adherence to dental treatment among dental phobic patients. Duration of avoidance of anxiety before treatment was not related to success in completing the trial. Nevertheless, the more intense the patient's phobia, the more psychotherapeutic sessions were necessary. (Quintessence Int 2007;38; E589-E596).

The effectiveness of an intelligent tutoring system on the attitude and achievement of developmental mathematics students in a community college

This study examined the effectiveness of intelligent tutoring system instruction, grounded in John Anderson's ACT theory of cognition, on the achievement and attitude of developmental mathematics students in the community college setting. The quasi-experimental research used a pretest-posttest control group design. The dependent variables were problem solving achievement, overall achievement, and attitude towards mathematics. The independent variable was instructional method. Four intact classes and two instructors participated in the study for one semester. Two classes (n = 35) served as experimental groups; they received six lessons with real-world problems using intelligent tutoring system instruction. The other two classes (n = 24) served as control groups; they received six lessons with real-world problems using traditional instruction including graphing calculator support. It was hypothesized that students taught problem solving using the intelligent tutoring system would achieve more on the dependent variables than students taught without the intelligent tutoring system. Posttest mean scores for one teacher produced a significant difference in overall achievement for the experimental group. The same teacher had higher means, not significantly, for the experimental group in problem solving achievement. The study did not indicate a significant difference in attitude mean scores. It was concluded that using an intelligent tutoring system in problem solving instruction may impact student's overall mathematics achievement and problem solving achievement. Other factors must be considered, such as the teacher's classroom experience, the teacher's experience with the intelligent tutoring system, trained technical support, and trained student support; as well as student learning styles, motivation, and overall mathematics ability.

"En personalstyrka som går på knäna" : - En kvalitativ studie om betydande faktorer i sjuksköterskeyrket

I sjukhuskorridorerna står flera rum tomma och operationssalar används inte fullt ut. Anledningen är inte att medborgarna blivit friskare, inte heller är det ekonomin som är huvudorsaken, skälet är bristen på sjuksköterskor1. År 2015 publicerades en artikel om att allt fler sjuksköterskor lämnar Falu Lasarett på grund av dess tunga tre skift2. Vid denna studies början ville vi gå till botten med vad som är attraktivt i sjuksköterskeyrket, varför man väljer att bli sjuksköterska när yrket tycks vara kantat av negativa faktorer. Det vi tidigt märkte var att yrket inte endast kunde beskrivas som antingen attraktivt eller oattraktivt. Syftet med studien blev därför att identifiera attraktiva och oattraktiva faktorer i sjuksköterskeyrket. För att nå syftet eftersöktes respondenter via sociala medier där spridningen blev stor och stoppades när nio sjuksköterskor valt att delta. Respondenterna hade anställning på Falu Lasarett och intervjuas med hjälp av processmetoden "attraktivt arbete". Denna metod har varit ett verktyg i insamlandet av teori och empiri, faktorerna har gett oss handfasta sökord och varit användbara för respondenterna att resonera kring. Resultatet visade att respondenterna upplevde att relationer och social kontakt bidrog till yrkets attraktivitet. De ansåg sig även bli stimulerade av det varierande arbetet i form av tankearbete, praktiskt arbete och det resultat de presterade. De förbättringsområden som studien identifierat är föga förvånande; lön, arbetstid, arbetstakt, status, erkänsla, företaget, ledarskap men även faktorn eftertraktad bedömdes som mindre attraktiv då respondenterna ansåg att de endast var eftertraktade på grund av sin yrkestitel. Störst fokus har lagts på ledarskap, en faktor som tidigt identifierades som ett förbättringsområde. Problematiken kring ledarskapet tycks bottna i det faktum att chefsrekryteringar sker internt på arbetsplatsen och att de chefsutbildningar som erbjuds inte räcker till. Studien har för avsikt att identifiera förbättringsområden, ingen intention har funnits om att studien skulle resultera i en handlingsplan. Vi ser ämnet för komplext för att en C-uppsats skulle kunna landa i en lösning på de problem som sjuksköterskeyrket dras med.
