Encouraging adolescents toward mental health careers via website biographies.

This project designed, developed, implemented and is currently evaluating the effectiveness of an interactive, multi-media website designed to encourage adolescents to consider careers in mental health. This Web-based learning environment features biographies of mental health scientists. Evaluation is conducted in a systematic, structured way using cognitive achievement, usability (ease of use), and affective scales (e.g., fun to use) as outcome measures

Emotion in organizations: A neglected topic in I/O psychology, But with a bright future

In this chapter we present a review of some of the main threads of research on the role played by emotion and affect in organizations. In this respect, we refute the notion that organizations are totally rational., where the role of emotion is something that can be discounted or 'managed' out of existence.

The ambivalent practices of reflexivity

Reflexivity involves turning one's reflexive gaze oil discourse-turning language back on itself to see the Work it does in constituting the world. The subject/researcher sees simultaneously the object of her or his gaze and the means by which the object (which may include oneself as subject) is being constituted. The consciousness of self that reflexive writing sometimes entails may be seen to slip inadvertently into constituting the very (real) self that seems to contradict a focus on the constitutive power of discourse. This article explores this site of slippage and of ambivalence. In a collective biography oil the topic of reflexivity, the authors tell and write stories about reflexivity and in a doubled reflexive arc, examine themselves at work during the workshop. Examining their own memories and reflexive practices, they explore this place of slippage and provide theoretical and practical insight into what is going on in reflexive research and writing.

Topic-Neutrality

The paper suggests a definition of the idea of topic-neutrality, and indicates some of the consequences of identifying logicality with topic-neutrality so defined.

Timely topic: Premalignant lesions associated with adenocarcinoma of the upper gastrointestinal tract

The changing incidence of adenocarcinomas, particularly in the oesophagus and gastric cardia, has led to the rapid expansion of screening programmes aimed at detecting the precursor lesion of dysplasia before adenocarcinoma develops. The pathologist now has an important role in first diagnosing patients at risk for developing dysplasia, and then correctly classifying dysplasia when it occurs. Barrett's oesophagus has had different diagnostic criteria in previous years but is currently diagnosed by the presence of intestinal metaplasia of any length in the true oesophagus. Intestinal metaplasia confined only to the gastro-oesophageal junction or cardia is of uncertain significance but is probably common, with less risk of progressing to dysplasia or malignancy. In the stomach, patients with autoimmune atrophic gastritis and Helicobacter-associated multifocal atrophic gastritis have an increased risk of adenocarcinoma, but screening protocols are not well-developed compared with those used for Barrett's oesophagus. Dysplasia of glandular epithelium can be classified using well-described criteria. Low grade dysplasia is the most common type and regresses or remains stable in the majority of patients. High grade dysplasia is more ominous clinically, with a propensity to coexist with or progress to adenocarcinoma.

Das prescrições às práticas de pesquisa/formação compartilhadas : o lugar do livro didático na educação física

Investiga o livro didático na Educação Física tendo como fonte a produção acadêmica publicada em periódicos, a forma e conteúdo de sete propostas didáticopedagógicas e a análise de proposta construída pelo Proteoria, que tem como eixo central as práticas pedagógicas de professores. Caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa plurimetodológica, utilizando-se de estudo bibliográfico, documental e da (auto)biografia. Na pesquisa bibliográfica, mapeia e analisa textos que abordam propostas didático-pedagógicas para o ensino da Educação Física e aponta aumento de interesse sobre o tema, sobretudo a partir da década de 2000, publicações que têm sido produzidas na relação de parceria entre consultores das universidades e professores das instituições escolares, valorizando a participação dos docentes. Na pesquisa documental, analisa sete propostas didáticopedagógicas com o objetivo de investigar, nas suas formas, os dispositivos de leitura elaborados para projetar as práticas pedagógicas, e, no conteúdo, as representações sobre identidade da Educação Física como componente curricular. Conclui que essas propostas são produto da parceria entre universidade e instituições escolares, dialogando com os professores das redes de ensino. Suas formas e conteúdo indicam relação com as atuais políticas nacionais de reconfiguração da educação básica pelos princípios da integralização, interdisciplinaridade em áreas de conhecimento, especialmente no ensino médio. Na pesquisa (auto)biográfica, ao investigar o livro didático produzido pelos professores de Educação Física das redes de ensino da Grande Vitória-ES em parceria com docentes e alunos da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, observa coerências entre o propósito do projeto, como o protagonismo e autoria do professor, a produção de conhecimento a partir das experiências e o livro didático como caixa de utensílios. Discute, ainda, a necessidade de se aprofundar a progressão e complexidade dos conteúdos, o diálogo entre diferentes conhecimentos escolares e a valorização do protagonismo dos alunos na produção de livros didáticos.
