The expansion of English teaching in state education systems places increasing demands on English language teachers and how they are trained. A major thrust of these efforts has focused on improving teachers' English language proficiency. This expectation is manifested in policy and pedagogical directives that teachers 'teach English in English'. We argue for a reconceptualization of teacher language proficiency, not as general English proficiency but as a specialized subset of language skills required to prepare and teach lessons. This concept of English-for-Teaching as a bounded form of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) for the classroom builds on what teachers know about teaching, while introducing and confirming specific classroom language. This article describes how the construct was developed and then describes sample classroom tasks and the language needed to enact them in three major areas: managing the classroom, understanding and communicating lesson content, and assessing students and giving feedback.

The Brazilian juridical ordain has suffered several transformations on Family Law as of the 1988 Federal Constitution, which incorporated the changes in socio-cultural values and behaviors that appeared in the post-modern Brazilian society, with the repersonalization of the family, beginning with the principles of human dignity, affectivity and familiar solidarity; occurring an enlargement of the concept of family, increasing the relevance of socioaffectivity and eudaimonia. The general purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the constitutional interpretations of paradigmatic cases of the Brazilian Superior Courts checking the conditions and behaviors required to achieve the principles of affectivity and familiar solidarity. To do so, uses an exploratory and descriptive research trough books, scientific papers, jurisprudence, monographs and consult to specialized magazines to identify the reasons and specific purposes of the principles of affectivity and family solidarity within the constitutional norms, systematizing the primary meaning of these principles, then to observe the trial of patriotic courts, the criteria and standards of behavior used in their application. The analysis of recent decisions of the Supreme Federal Court and the Superior Court of Justice on the topic of the familiar relations, utilizing the new interpretative approach to the law that considers man as an ontological being of language, demonstrate that the affectivity and familiar solidarity are constitutional principles concretized in decisions, that don’t affect the principle of protection of the juridical security, that is, don’t cause uncertainty despite the incipient specification of criteria to its use

The antimanicomial psychiatric reform is a process that seeks to deconstruct the exclusionary logic caused by hospitalizations, providing strategies for social reintegration of individuals. In this sense, the primary care through the Family Health Strategy - FHS comes progressively becoming strategic space in mental health interventions, configured as a field of practice and production of new modes of care. In this perspective, there has been a process of implementing this proposal in the Areia Branca City/RN, through the articulation of Psychosocial Care Network and the Family Health Strategy / ESF. However, this process has not been able to bring changes in practices. From the view that the relationship between mental health and primary care is a challenge currently being faced, that improving the care provided and the expansion of the access to services with guaranteed continuity of care depend on the effectiveness of this joint, established themselves as research objective: To investigate how is the relationship between the FHS team and CAPS team in care mental health in the town of Areia Branca - RN from the speeches of professionals. And if you had specific purposes: 1) Know the demand in existing mental health in the town of White Sand - RN served by FHS; 2) Identify limits and difficulties in the relationship between the ESF teams and CAPS; 3) Identify potential for linkages between ESF teams and CAPS for the establishment of local RAPS. This was a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative methodological design, whose subjects were professionals from the Family Health Strategy, professionals Psychosocial Care Center and responsible for the conduct / management of mental health in the municipality. The research tools used informal observations, semistructured interviews and focus groups were used. The data obtained were analyzed for the content analysis of Bardin, allowing discuss the relevance of the theoretical framework with data obtained through observation and interpretation of the relationship between the Family Health Strategy and the network of Psychosocial Care in Areia Branca-RN. On the one hand, there was strong demand for mental health arising from users and their families and / or caregivers. On the other, it was verified that although there is some progress with regard to perceptions of mental health, there are still practical, historical and contextually rooted, which act as barriers to effective response to this demand in view of deinstitutionalization. In this sense, it is considered important to emphasize that the teams of the Family Health Strategy should be trained to ensure the health practice with integrity and incorporating the mental health network in the municipality. This training must occur through continuing health education.

The present study focuses on the frequency of phrasal verbs with the particle up in the context of crime and police investigative work. This research emerges from the need to enlarge McCarthy and O’Dell’s (2004) scope from purely criminal behavior to police investigative actions. To do so, we relied on a corpus of 504,124 running words made up of spoken dialogues extracted from the script of the American TV series Castle shown on ABC since 2009. Based on Rudzka-Ostyn’s (2003) cognitive motivations for the particle up, we have identified five different meaning extensions for our phrasal verbs. Drawing from these findings, we have designed pedagogical activities for those L2 learners that study English at the Police Academy.

In a highly dynamic society such as we live, have access to the virtual world is an increasingly common practice, is aiming to study, work or to search leisure through chat rooms, sites and games, being incorporated by the most varied groups that end up appropriating these new possibilities of interaction, shaping them in order to adapt them to their needs / wants. The specific purposes pursued through the use of tools available over the Internet can vary considerably when one takes into account specific user groups, which makes the topic quite relevant to problematization, especially when we take into account access through lan houses. This research seeks to study the networks of knowledge, sociability and leisure formed by young people who frequented the "Lan house do Paulo" in São Gonçalo do Amarante - RN based on the use of the online role-playing-game World of Warcraft, which makes possible the interaction of several users through an avatar resident in a virtual world, theoretically questioning the importance of this type of platform for the development and maintenance of social interactions among its users

O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral elaborar uma proposta de processo de enfermagem contemplando históricos de enfermagem, diagnósticos de enfermagem, prescrição de cuidados de enfermagem para gestantes e puérperas em Unidade de Internação Obstétrica à luz de Horta, fundamentada em NANDA e, como objetivos específicos: identificar os dados clínico-obstétricos mais frequentes das gestantes em Unidade de Internação Obstétrica; identificar os dados clínico-obstétricos mais frequentes das puérperas em Unidade de Internação Obstétrica; identificar os diagnósticos de enfermagem a partir dos dados clínico-obstétricos mais frequentes das gestantes em Unidade de Internação Obstétrica; identificar os diagnósticos de enfermagem a partir dos dados clínico-obstétricos mais frequentes das puérperas em Unidade de Internação Obstétrica; elaborar modelos de histórico de enfermagem e de prescrição de cuidados de enfermagem para os diagnósticos de enfermagem identificados; e obter o consenso dos enfermeiros assistenciais da Unidade de Internação Obstétrica sobre a proposta construída. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, realizada em uma Unidade de Internação Obstétrica de um hospital universitário do Sul do Brasil. Realizou-se uma consulta documental em 148 prontuários, com vistas à identificação dos diagnósticos e cuidados de enfermagem, baseados, respectivamente, na taxonomia II da North American Diagnosis Association 2009-2011 e da Nursing Intervention Classification. Desenvolveu-se um modelo de histórico de enfermagem para gestante/puérpera e outro para o recém-nascido. No total, identificaram-se 26 diagnósticos de enfermagem, assim distribuídos: nove direcionados às gestantes; nove, às puérperas; dois, ao binômio mãe/filho; seis, ao recém-nascido. A análise foi realizada por meio da apresentação da proposta construída e discussão com base em autores da área. Com isso, almeja-se contribuir para direcionar o cuidado de enfermagem às necessidades das gestantes, puérperas, binômios mãe/filho e recém-nascidos nesse microcenário, favorecendo a educação em saúde, a identificação precoce e a prevenção de complicações. Permanecem lacunas quanto às necessidades psicoespirituais, visto que elas não foram abordadas nos resultados. Assim, essa proposta de Processo de Enfermagem em Unidade Obstétrica contemplando históricos, diagnósticos e cuidados de enfermagem mantém em aberto o aperfeiçoamento do modelo, visando à inclusão de outros diagnósticos de enfermagem, de forma a aproximar-se de um cuidado mais holístico.

Estudos sobre notificação da violência intrafamiliar contra crianças e adolescentes têm suscitado, entre os profissionais, diversas abordagens e perspectivas de interpretação, mostrando a complexidade e amplitude desse fenômeno, tão presente na sociedade. Nesse estudo, apoiando-se em Foucault, defende-se a seguinte tese: O ato de implementação da notificação da violência constitui-se em exercício de poder do denunciante e um ato de resistência contra a sua manutenção. Como objetivo geral do estudo, buscou-se compreender o processo de notificação de violência intrafamiliar contra crianças e adolescentes, no Município do Rio Grande/RS; e como objetivos específicos: analisar as notificações realizadas entre janeiro de 2009 e maio de 2014, em uma instituição de proteção à crianças e adolescentes de Rio Grande/RS; conhecer como os profissionais da saúde tem se fortalecido e encorajado para proceder às notificações de violência contra crianças e adolescentes no Rio Grande/RS. O estudo foi desenvolvido em duas etapas, uma quantitativa, mediante pesquisa documental em 800 prontuários de um Centro de Referência Especializada em Assistência Social (CREAS) do Rio Grande, abertos entre janeiro de 2009 e maio de 2014, enfocando variáveis sociodemográficas das vítimas, agressores e a modalidade de violência e da notificação. Constata-se que o perfil prevalente foi de crianças e adolescentes brancas, do sexo feminino, com idades entre sete e 14 anos, residentes em bairros periféricos. A maioria dos agressores é do sexo masculino, com idades entre 20 e 40 anos, e baixo nível de escolaridade. Identificou-se também a mãe como a principal responsável pelas agressões, seguida do pai e padrasto. Houve o predomínio da violência sexual, física e psicológica. A maioria das notificações encaminhadas aos órgãos de proteção foi realizada pelos familiares, desencadeada, principalmente, pela evidência de sinais fisicos. A etapa qualitativa foi realizada através de entrevista semi-estruturada com profissionais de saúde que notificaram atos de violência. Realizou-se análise textual discursiva dos dados, emergindo duas categorias: Coragem da verdade fortalecida pelo conhecimento e Coragem da verdade: conhecimento de si e cuidado de si. Os profissionais de saúde adotaram a notificação como um exercício de poder frente ao agressor e uma forma de resistência e enfrentamento da violência. No exercício da sua liberdade, procederam a notificação, que se constitui em uma ação ética, especialmente porque se consideram profissionais comprometidos com o bem-estar e proteção de seus pacientes. Foram respeitados todos os procedimentos éticos, a partir da Resolução n. 466/2012.

This thesis focused on medical students’ language learning strategies for patient encounters. The research questions concerned the types of learning strategies that medical students use and the differences between the preclinical students and the clinical students, two groups who have had varying amounts of experience with patients. Additionally, strategy use was examined through activity systems to gain information on the context of language learning strategy use in order to learn language for patient encounters. In total, 130 first-year medical students (preclinical) and 39 fifth-year medical students (clinical) participated in the study by filling in a questionnaire on language learning strategies. In addition, two students were interviewed in order to create activity systems for the medical students at different stages of their studies. The study utilised both quantitative and qualitative research methods; the analysis of the results relies on Oxford’s Strategic Self-Regulation Model in the quantitative part and on activity theory in the qualitative part. The theoretical sections of the study introduced earlier research and theories regarding English for specific purposes, language learning strategies and activity theory. The results indicated that the medical students use affective, sociocultural-interactive and metasociocultural-interactive strategies often and avoid using negative strategies, which hinder language learning or cease communication altogether. Slight differences between the preclinical and clinical students were found, as clinical students appear to use affective and metasociocultural-interactive strategies more frequently compared to the preclinical students. The activity systems of the two students interviewed were rather similar. The students were at different stages of their studies, but their opinions were very similar. Both reported the object of learning to be mutual understanding between the patient and the doctor, which in part explains the preference for strategies that support communication and interaction. The results indicate that the nature of patient encounters affects the strategy use of the medical students at least to some extent.

Artykuł przedstawia news telewizyjny jako akt retoryczny. News telewizyjny rozumiany jest jako relacja o wydarzeniu zbudowana zazwyczaj z zapowiedzi i krótkiego kilkuminutowego materiału filmowego (nazywanego czasem felietonem), będącego rezultatem pracy reporter-skiej, wyemitowana w telewizji, zazwyczaj jako jeden z elementów w strukturze magazynu informacyjnego, ale również jako element bloków programowych telewizji informacyjnych. Newsy telewizyjne funkcjonują w mediach jako jeden z elementów działań strategicznych nadawców medialnych nastawionych na określone cele, w tym cele wizerunkowe, polityczne i ekonomiczne. Newsy powstają jako reakcja na konkretne wydarzenia, zaspokajają potrzebę informacji, ale służą też kreowaniu obrazu świata, skupianiu uwagi na pewnych aspektach rze-czywistości, wartościowaniu jej, przekonywaniu o ważności lub nieważności pewnych zda-rzeń. Pełnią funkcje informacyjne, ale też kreacyjne, wzorcotwórcze, stymulacyjne, wartościu-jące, i w końcu estetyczne. Dla osiągnięcia tych celów są odpowiednio konstruowane, z uwzględnieniem specyfiki i potrzeb odbiorcy oraz ethosu nadawcy. W tym sensie są więc ak-tami „retorycznymi”, a więc zamierzonymi, celowymi, będącymi odpowiedzią na określoną sytuację (uwarunkowane są historycznie, społecznie i politycznie) i adresowanymi do określo-nych odbiorców.
