Kuinka 2 - 4-vuotias lapsi ilmaisee itseään? : kirjallisuuskatsaus

Opinnäytetyömme on kirjallisuuskatsaus hankkeeseen Musiikki ja draama lapsen kivun ja pelon lievittäjänä. Opinnäytetyömme tarkoituksena on ollut kartoittaa tutkittua tietoa 2 - 4-vuotiaan lapsen ilmaisukeinoista, jotka koemme hyödyllisiksi lapsen ja sairaanhoitajan vuorovaikutusta ajatellen. Työssämme olemme soveltaneet systemaattinen kirjallisuuskatsauksen metodia aineiston hankinnassa. Olemme koonneet opinnäytetyömme aineiston tekemällä hakuja sosiaali- ja terveysalan tietokannoista. Valitun aineiston piti täyttää asettamamme kriteerit. Artikkeleiden tuli olla julkaistu vuosina 2004-2007 ja niiden tuli olla tieteellisiä julkaisuja. Artikkeleiden piti myös vastata tutkimuskysymykseemme: kuinka 2 - 4-vuotias lapsi ilmaisee itseään. Opinnäytetyö on jäsennetty teemoittain aineistosta nousseiden ilmaisukeinojen mukaan. Keskeinen käsite työssämme on leikki-ikäinen lapsi, tarkoittaen tällä ikävuosia 2 - 4. Käsittelemme tuloksissa lapsen ilmaisukeinoina puhetta, leikkiä, piirtämistä ja eleitä. Piirtäminen on nopea, halpa sekä helppo kommunikoinnin väline. Leikin kautta lapsi oppii käsittelemään tunteitaan rakentavasti ja emotionaalisen kehityksen kannalta on tärkeää, että lapsi saa ilmaista tunteitaan. Kielen ja puheen kehitys on kiinteässä yhteydessä varhaisen vuorovaikutuksen kanssa. Kuukausia ennen kuin lapset tuottavat sanoja, he käyttävät eleitä asiansa ilmaisemiseen. Hoitajan tulisi työssään ottaa perhe- ja lapsilähtöinen työskentelyote. Hoitajan käyttäessä lapsen kehitystason mukaista kieltä sekä ikätasolle sopivia vaihtoehtoisia keinoja kuten leikkiä apunaan, pysyy lapsen stressitaso hallittavissa. Ennen kuin lapsi oppii kielelliset taidot ilmaista itseään, on hänellä käytössään vaihtoehtoisia menetelmiä tunteidensa sekä ajatustensa esille tuomiseen. Kun hoitaja on perillä lapsen oletetusta kyvystä ilmaista itseään, voi myös hoitaja ilmaista itseään niin, että lapsi tämän ymmärtää.

Efeitos de mbta [cloridrato de n,n-dietil-2-(4-metilbenziloxi) etilamina] na produtividade e na qualidade dos frutos da laranjeira 'pêra' (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck)

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos do biorregulador MBTA [cloridrato de N,N-dietil-2-(4-metilbenziloxi) etilamina] aplicado em diferentes épocas e concentrações na produtividade e qualidade dos frutos da laranjeira 'Pêra'. Em duas safras consecutivas, o MBTA foi aplicado em três diferentes concentrações (8; 16 e 32 mg L-1) e em duas diferentes fases fenológicas (25% e 100% de flores abertas), em árvores cítricas adultas, utilizando um volume de 7 litros de solução por planta, acompanhado do adjuvante Silwett L-77 0,05%. Foram amostrados 20 frutos por planta, em quatro diferentes épocas estudadas, para determinar o teor de sólidos solúveis (SS); acidez titulável (AT); quantidade de sólidos solúveis por caixa de 40,8 kg; pH; rendimento de suco; "ratio" (relação SS/AT), e a massa média dos frutos. Os efeitos do MBTA variaram de acordo com a concentração aplicada e com a fase fenológica de aplicação. O MBTA, na concentração de 8 mg L-1, aplicado com 25% das flores abertas, incrementou o teor de sólidos solúveis, a acidez, a quantidade de sólidos solúveis por caixa de 40,8 kg e a produtividade. Esse mesmo tratamento também reduziu a massa média dos frutos e não alterou o rendimento de suco e o "ratio" do suco dos frutos. O incremento médio foi de 0,49 a 0,65% na concentração de sólidos solúveis, de 0,11 a 0,13 kg na quantidade de sólidos solúveis por caixa de 40,8 kg e de 20,4 kg/planta na produtividade.

2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid as an alternative auxin for rooting of vine rootstock cuttings

Viticulture is an important agricultural activity in semiarid northeastern Brazil, and the quality and ease of vine propagation are very important in this context. This study evaluated the use of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) as an alternative to indolebutyric acid (IBA) in the rooting of vine rootstock cuttings. The trial was conducted at the Universidade Federal de Sergipe (São Cristóvão-SE) between January and March 2010 with cuttings of the rootstocks of 'IAC-766', 'IAC-572', and 'Paulsen 1103' treated with 2,4-D or IBA applied at concentrations of 0, 1000, 2000, or 3000 rng-L-1 for 5 s and planted in a field on washed sand. At 56 days after planting, the percentages of rooted, sprouted, callused, and dead cuttings were evaluated, and also the average number and length of the rooted cuttings. The results showed that 2,4-D was not superior to IBA in the characteristics wanted for the rooting process of the vine rootstock cuttings. The vine rootstocks showed potential for propagation by cutting without auxin application. It was observed that the high concentrations were the worst for the rooting of the cuttings.

Highly efficient, multigram and enantiopure synthesis of (S)-2-(2,4′-bithiazol-2-yl)pyrrolidine

(S)-2-(4-Bromo-2,4"-bithiazole)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine ((S)-1) was obtained as a single enantiomer and in high yield by means of a two-step modified Hantzsch thiazole synthesis reaction when bromoketone 3 and thioamide (S)-4 were used. Further conversion of (S)-1 into trimethyltin derivative (S)-2 broadens the scope for further cross-coupling reactions.

An enantioselective synthetic route to cis-2,4-disubstituted and 2,4-bridged piperidines

A synthetic route to enantiopure cis-2,4-disubstituted and 2,4-bridged piperidines is reported, the key step being a stereoselective conjugate addition of an organocuprate to a phenylglycinol-derived unsaturated lactam bearing a substituent at the 8a-position.

Estudo da adsorção/dessorção do ácido 2,4 diclorofenoxiacético (2,4d) em solo na ausência e presença de matéria orgânica

The herbicides are being used in huge quantities for various porpouses. Once the herbicide finds its way into the environment, a major part of it comes in contact with soil. Humic substances are major organic constituents of soil. These substances may interact with herbicides in different modes and adsorption is probably the most important one. Adsorption will control the quantity of herbicide in the soil solution, and determines its persistence, leaching, mobility and bioavailability. In this work we studied the interaction between the herbicide 2,4D and soil in the presence and absence of organic matter. The methodology utilized for the determination of 2,4D was gas chromatography with eletron capture detector. The behavior of 2,4D was evaluated through Freundlich isotherms. It was verified that the herbicide 2,4D has a large adsorption in the humic acid .

Síntese e avaliação da atividade fitotóxica de lactonas derivadas do 2,4-dimetil-8-oxabiciclo[3.2.1]-oct-6-en-3-ona

The alkene 2,4-dimethyl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]-oct-6-en-3-one (3) was converted to 1,3,10-trimethyl-8-oxabicyclo[5.3.0]-dec-3-ene-2,9-dione (7) and 1,3-dimethyl-8-oxabicyclo[5.3.0]-dec-3-ene-2,9-dione (8) with a 55% overall yield in both cases. Lactones (7) and (8) were converted in two steps to 1,3,4-trimethyl-13-methylene-6-oxatricyclo[8.3.0.0(3,7)]-trideca-2,5,12-trione (12) (63%) and 1,3-dimethyl-13-methylene-6-oxatricycle[8.3.0.0(3,7)]-trideca-2,5,12-trione (13) (45% from 8). The effect of lactones (7), (8), (12), (13) and the intermediates (5) and (6), at the concentration of 250 mug mL-1, on the growth of Cucumis sativus L. and Sorghum bicolor L. was evaluated. The best results were observed for lactone (13) that caused 100% inhibition on the root growth of C. sativus and lactone (12) that inhibited 90% of the root growth for S. bicolor.

Descomposicion termica del diperoxido de pinacolona (3,6-diterbutil-3,6-dimetil-1,2,4,5-tetraoxaciclohexano) en solución de 2-metoxietanol

The thermal decomposition reaction of pinacolone diperoxide (DPP; 0.02 mol kg-1) in 2-methoxyethanol solution studied in the temperature range of 110.0-150.0 °C, follows a first-order kinetic law up to at least 50% DPP conversion. The organic products observed were pinacolone, methane and tert-butane. A stepwise mechanism of decomposition was proposed where the first step is the homolytic unimolecular rupture of the O-O bond. The activation enthalpy and activation entropy for DPP in 2-methoxyethanol were calculated (deltaH# = 43.8 ± 1.0 kcal mol-1 and deltaS# = 31.9 ± 2.6 cal mol-1K-1) and compared with those obtained in other solvents to evaluate the solvent effect.

Estudo da degradação do herbicida ácido 2,4- diclorofenoxiacético (2,4-D) por meio da radiação gama do cobalto-60 em solução aquosa contendo ácido húmico

The use of pesticides in agriculture presents some problems to ecosytems as a consequence of their remaining in the environment. Conventional methods for environmental decontamination sometimes just transfer these residues from one place to another. The use of gamma radiation from cobalt-60 to induce 2,4-D degradation in aqueous solution containing humic acid was studied. Results show that the herbicide is completely degraded after treatment with a 30 kGy dose. There were decreases in the degradation of the 2,4-D when humic acid was added at all doses. Some radiolytic products are proposed. The 2,4-D radiolytic yields (G) from 2,4-D were calculated.
