A psicanálise na cultura: novas formas de intervenção

Este trabalho foi produzido a partir da experiência depsicanalistas no contexto de uma pesquisa-intervençãodesenvolvida no âmbito da Universidade Federal do Rio deJaneiro (UFRJ), em parceria com o governo do Estado doRio de Janeiro. Baseou-se na implantação de “grupos dereflexão” com jovens de diversas comunidades, coordenadospor estudantes de psicologia e supervisionados por professoresresponsáveis pelo projeto. O trabalho traz algumas reflexõessobre a transferência no contexto atual das novas formas deintervenção da psicanálise na polis. Trata da presença doanalista e, portanto, da psicanálise, não somente fora do espaçode um consultório, mas igualmente fora do enquadre de umtratamento. Destaca a importância dos laços transferenciaisque puderam ser estabelecidos entre os coordenadores doprojeto e os líderes comunitários como representantes do poder local na instauração da transferência amorosa entre osjovens universitários e os jovens da comunidade

Estimating the burden of disease attributable to four selected environmental risk factors in South Africa

The first South African National Burden of Disease study quantified the underlying causes of premature mortality and morbidity experienced in South Africa in the year 2000. This was followed by a Comparative Risk Assessment to estimate the contributions of 17 selected risk factors to burden of disease in South Africa. This paper describes the health impact of exposure to four selected environmental risk factors: unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene; indoor air pollution from household use of solid fuels; urban outdoor air pollution and lead exposure.The study followed World Health Organization comparative risk assessment methodology. Population-attributable fractions were calculated and applied to revised burden of disease estimates (deaths and disability adjusted life years, [DALYs]) from the South African Burden of Disease study to obtain the attributable burden for each selected risk factor. The burden attributable to the joint effect of the four environmental risk factors was also estimated taking into account competing risks and common pathways. Monte Carlo simulation-modeling techniques were used to quantify sampling, uncertainty.Almost 24 000 deaths were attributable to the joint effect of these four environmental risk factors, accounting for 4.6% (95% uncertainty interval 3.8-5.3%) of all deaths in South Africa in 2000. Overall the burden due to these environmental risks was equivalent to 3.7% (95% uncertainty interval 3.4-4.0%) of the total disease burden for South Africa, with unsafe water sanitation and hygiene the main contributor to joint burden. The joint attributable burden was especially high in children under 5 years of age, accounting for 10.8% of total deaths in this age group and 9.7% of burden of disease.This study highlights the public health impact of exposure to environmental risks and the significant burden of preventable disease attributable to exposure to these four major environmental risk factors in South Africa. Evidence-based policies and programs must be developed and implemented to address these risk factors at individual, household, and community levels

Color and perceptual variation revisited: Unknown facts, alien modalities, and perfect psychosemantics

An adequate ontology of color must face the empirical facts about perceptual variation. In this paper I begin by reviewing a range of data about perceptual variation, and showing how they tell against color physicalism and motivate color relationalism. Next I consider a series of objections to the argument from perceptual variation, and argue that they are unpersuasive. My conclusion will be that the argument remains a powerful obstacle for color physicalism, and a powerful reason to believe in color relationalism instead

Caractérisation de l'effet de la pression et de l'ajout de CO2 sur les flammes laminaires et turbulentes de prémélange pauvre méthane-air

Ce projet a pour but d approfondir les connaissances de l effet de la haute pression sur les flammes laminaires et turbulentes et d appliquer ces connaissances et les moyens techniques développés à l institut aux flammes diluées avec du dioxyde de carbone. L étude est effectuée à l aide d un brûleur de type Bunsen placé dans une chambre de combustion haute pression. De nombreux diagnostics optiques furent utilisés. La structure générale de flamme est e tudiée avec la tomographie par plan laser. Les vitesses de flammes sont mesurées à partir des acquisitions de PIV. La LDV a permis d obtenir les échelles de turbulence. Enfin l ensemble de ces données ont été utilisées pour tester différents modèles de combustion.ORLEANS-BU Sciences (452342104) / SudocSudocFranceF

The Value of Forgiveness in the Eyes of High-School Teachers: Do They Perceive it as Related yo Testing and Grading Students?

Rola przebaczenia według nauczycieli szkół średnich – czy uważają, że testowanie i ocena uczniów wiążą się z przebaczeniem? Podczas gdy przebaczanie uznaje się za istotną wartość, ocena uczniów prowadzona z użyciem standardowych metod testowania jest rozwiązaniem bezlitosnym. Celem tego opracowania było zbadanie kwestii, jak nauczyciele postrzegają związek między testowaniem a przebaczeniem? Trzydziestu jeden nauczycieli szkół średnich poproszono o odpowiedzi na cztery pytania, po przedstawieniu im konkretnej definicji przebaczenia, sugerującej, że przebaczenie oznacza pozwolenie ludziom i uczniom na popełnianie błędów bez osądzania, dopóki nie zaczną robić tego, co należy. Odpowiedzi respondentów nagrano, przepisano i przeanalizowano. Po przeanalizowaniu zawartości uzyskano dziesięć kategorii. Niektóre z nich wskazują, że istnieje napięcie pomiędzy (a) uczuciami nauczycieli wobec uczniów i ich chęcią wspierania i pomagania im, a (b) formalnymi, odgórnymi wymaganiami systemu szkolnictwa. Badani nauczyciele wskazywali również na rolę istnienia granic wybaczania uczniom ich przewinień.While forgiveness is considered an important value in life, the assessment of students through standardized tests is an unforgiving system within the educational setting. How do teachers perceive the connection between testing and forgiveness? The purpose of this study was to investigate this question. Thirty-one high school teachers were asked to respond to four questions, after being presented with a specific definition of forgiveness, suggesting that forgiveness means allowing people, and students, to make mistakes without judgment until they start doing things right. Teachers’ responses were recorded, transcribed and analyzed. The content analysis yielded ten categories, some of which indicate that there is a tension between a) teachers’ feelings toward their students and their wish to support and help them, and b) the formal top-down demands of the educational system. Teachers also pointed to the importance of there being limits to forgiving students’ wrongdoing
