Effects of a brief mindfulness-based intervention on emotional regulation and levels of mindfulness in senior students

Mindfulness-based interventions have been applied in diverse populations and achieved mental health benefits. This study examined the effects of a brief mindfulness program for emotional regulation and levels of mindfulness on senior students in Brazil. The intervention consisted of six weekly meetings attended by 30 participants. It is a pre-experimental research, with pre- and post-test comparative and correlation measurements. The preliminary results, which relied on parametrical and non-parametrical tests, revealed a reduction in total emotional regulation difficulties (p = 0.0001; r = − 0.55). Also, there was an increase in the levels of mindfulness in the subtests for both dimensions under evaluation: “Awareness” (p = 0.0001; d = 0.77) and “Acceptance” (p = 0.048; d = 0.37). By associating the amount of meditative practices performed by students with the variables, a significant positive correlation was found with the mindfulness dimension “Awareness” (rP = 0.422; p = 0.020), and there was a significant negative correlation with Difficulties in emotion regulation (rS = − 0.478; p = 0.008) and with its respective subscales “Non-acceptance” (rS = − 0.654; p = 0.0001) and “Clarity” (rS = − 0.463; p = 0.010). In conclusion, the application of a brief mindfulness-based intervention is promising in Brazilian university contexts; moreover, it can bring benefits to students, e.g., an increase in emotion regulation as well as in levels of mindfulness. We suggest that further research should use an experimental design and follow-up.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Experiências de Estágio: Contribuições para a Transição Universidade-Trabalho

As experiências de formação no ensino superior são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento profissional. Este estudo teve por objetivo compreender de que forma as experiências de estágio contribuem para o desenvolvimento da adaptabilidade de carreira e para a transição entre os papéis de estudante a profissional em formandos universitários. Participaram seis formandos de um curso de Engenharia Civil, com idades entre 22 e 29 anos. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas individuais, posteriormente analisadas quanto ao conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram que as experiências de estágio influenciam o desenvolvimento da adaptabilidade de carreira, especialmente nas dimensões de curiosidade e confiança. Além disso, várias características dos estágios mencionadas pelos entrevistados mostraram-se relacionadas ao desenvolvimento de carreira, revelando sua importância para o processo de transição do papel de estudante para o de profissional. O artigo conclui com implicações para a prática e a pesquisa

The earliest phases of high-mass star formation, as seen in NGC 6334 by Herschel-HOBYS

To constrain models of high-mass star formation, the Herschel/HOBYS KP aims at discovering massive dense cores (MDCs) able to host the high-mass analogs of low-mass prestellar cores, which have been searched for over the past decade. We here focus on NGC 6334, one of the best-studied HOBYS molecular cloud complexes. We used Herschel PACS and SPIRE 70-500 µm images of the NGC 6334 complex complemented with (sub)millimeter and mid-infrared data. We built a complete procedure to extract ~0.1 pc dense cores with the getsources software, which simultaneously measures their far-infrared to millimeter fluxes. We carefully estimated the temperatures and masses of these dense cores from their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). We also identified the densest pc-scale cloud structures of NGC 6334, one 2 px x 1 pc ridge and two 0.8 pc x 0.8 pc hubs, with volume-averaged densities of ~105 cm-3. A cross-correlation with high-mass star formation signposts suggests a mass threshold of 75 Mʘ for MDCs in NGC 6334. MDCs have temperatures of 9.5-40K, masses of 75-1000 Mʘ, and densities of 1 x 105- 7 x 107 cm-3. Their mid-infrared emission is used to separate 6 IR-bright and 10 IR-quiet protostellar MDCs while their 70 µm emission strength, with respect to fitted SEDs, helps identify 16 starless MDC candidates. The ability of the latter to host high-mass prestellar cores is investigated here and remains questionable. An increase in mass and density from the starless to the IR-quiet and IR-bright phases suggests that the protostars and MDCs simultaneously grow in mass. The statistical lifetimes of the high-mass prestellar and protostellar core phases, estimated to be 1-7 x 104 yr and at most 3 x 105 yr respectively, suggest a dynamical scenario of high-mass star formation. The present study provides good mass estimates for a statistically significant sample, covering the earliest phases of high-mass star formation. High-mass prestellar cores may not exist in NGC 6334, favoring a scenario presented here, which simultaneously forms clouds and high-mass protostars
