Post-stocking evaluations were conducted at 45 sites in the fall and spring and 8 thermal refuges in the summer. 8. Completed fishery surveys on 4 ponds on Eglin AFB totaling 53 acres, and completed a report with recommendations for future recreational fishery needs. 9. Completed final report for aquatic monitoring at Eglin AFB from 1999 to 2004. 10. Completed a field collection of the endangered Okaloosa darter to be incorporated into a status review to be completed in FY06. 11. Provided technical assistance to the Region 4 National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) program on changes to the fishery conservation targets for the region. Also provided technical assistance to four NWRs (i.e., Okefenokee NWR, Banks Lake NWR, St. Vincent NWR, and St. Marks NWR) relative to hurricanes and recreational fishing. 12. A draft mussel sampling protocol was tested in wadeable streams in Northwest Florida and southwest Georgia, and an associated field guide, poster, and Freshwater Mussel Survey Protocol and Identification workshop were completed in FY05. 13. Implemented recovery plan and candidate conservation actions for 14 listed and candidate freshwater mussels in the Northeast Gulf Watersheds. 14. Initiated or completed multiple stream restoration and watershed management projects. A total of 7.5 stream miles were restored for stream fishes, and 11 miles of coastline were enhanced for sea turtle lighting. A total of 630 acres of wetlands and 2,401 acres of understory habitat were restored. 15. Conducted a watershed assessment to develop a threats analysis for prioritizing restoration, protection, and enhancement to natural resources of Spring Creek, Georgia and Canoe Creek, Florida. 16. Continued the formation of an Unpaved Road Interagency Team of Federal, State, and local agencies in Northwest Florida to promote stream protection and restoration from unpaved road sediment runoff. Began the development of a technical committee agreement. 17. Conducted Alabama Unpaved Road Inventory within the Northeast Gulf Ecosystem. Data collection will be completed during FY06. 18. Finalized the development of two North Florida hydrophysiographic regional curves for use by the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) and others involved with stream restoration and protection. Initiated the development of the Alabama Coastal Plain Riparian Reference Reach and Regional Curves for use by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). 19. Provided technical assistance in collecting data, analysis, and thesis formulation with Troy University, Alabama, to identify the influence of large woody debris in southeastern coastal plain streams. 20.

Práticas dos psicólogos no Sistema Único de Saúde em Umuarama - PR: um caminho em construção

A crescente inserção dos psicólogos na rede de serviços do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e a demanda por novas habilidades e competências profissionais vem gerando muitas discussões em relação aos saberes e fazeres da Psicologia. Neste contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a formação e as práticas dos psicólogos inseridos no SUS do Município de Umuarama-Pr, tendo como parâmetro a integralidade. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas com roteiro semi-estruturado com os psicólogos em atuação nos serviços do SUS e profissionais envolvidos com a gestão da saúde no município. Para a análise foi utilizado o método de análise do conteúdo, com ênfase em três eixos: formação acadêmica, práticas profissionais e percepção sobre o papel do psicólogo no SUS. Os resultados demonstraram uma formação acadêmica orientada para o modelo clínico tradicional, detectando algumas lacunas para o trabalho na área da saúde pública. Em relação à atuação do psicólogo na saúde, as atividades que realizam incluem psicoterapia individual, grupal, visita domiciliar, reunião/orientação de equipe. Os entrevistados identificam uma falta de reconhecimento do trabalho da Psicologia no SUS por parte da população, da gestão e dos próprios psicólogos, talvez por pouca clareza de suas possibilidades de atuação. Foram identificadas algumas tendências de mudança na formação profissional e de inovação nas práticas profissionais nos serviços da saúde pública. Contudo, alguns desafios precisam ser superados para a efetiva construção da integralidade no trabalho do psicólogo no município, como por exemplo, a formação profissional e a organização dos serviços, fazendo-se necessária a continuidade de discussões sobre a formação e a configuração de suas práticas, para que possam contribuir plenamente para a inserção e desenvolvimento da Psicologia no SUS.
