A POSSIBILIDADE DA APLICAÇÃO DOS PRINCÍPIOS DO COACHING NA DINÂMICA DA CONCILIAÇÃO E MEDIAÇÃO A LUZ DO NCPC

O trabalho tem como assunto o Direito e como tema de investigação o uso do coaching na mediação e conciliação conforme proposto no NCPC - Novo Código de Processo Civil brasileiro, de 2015, especificamente quanto à questão dos conciliadores e mediadores judiciais, a utilizarem tal ferramenta como metodologia em suas atividades. Descreve o uso do coaching na mediação e conciliação como alternativa para a resolução de conflitos. Tem como prerrogativa, a seguinte problemática: a aplicabilidade de ferramentas coaching apresenta maior assertividade nas audiências de mediação e conciliação?  Destarte que neste trabalho apresenta aspectos do Direito e da legislação que imprime essa nova modalidade para o atendimento do judiciário, e ainda define o coaching em sua atuação e relata a inserção do coach como profissional atuante no processo de mediação e conciliação para a solução de conflitos.  Realiza pesquisa qualitativa dedutiva, de cunho descritivo, com meios bibliográficos de investigação. Os resultados indicam que as orientações legais para a aplicação da mediação e conciliação oportunizam aos cidadãos falarem por si mesmos sobre os conflitos e de resolverem ou decidirem da forma mais adequada possível. Neste ambiente o papel do coaching/mediador poderá contribuir como um processo que orienta e atua para que as partes exerçam o seu Direito de melhor decidir sobre soluções ao conflito que vivenciam

A aprendizagem colaborativa para a interdependência positiva no processo ensino-aprendizagem em cursos universitários

The central objective of this study was to list and discuss the advantages of Collaborative / Cooperative Learning (CL) as a proposed increase in undergraduate education (Higher Education) in Brazil. The main theoretical reference adopted was the line of study of Alcantara et al. Based on the considerations presented in this article, it is possible to conclude that CL is feasible, dynamic and current, and provides numerous opportunities for successful experiences for learning. The students’ training occurs in participatory, articulate, reflective, and socially contextualized way, contributing to the formation of thorough professionals, who understand their role in society. This present paper contributes to the dissemination and spread of CL to a larger number of higher educational institutions in Brazil.http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/198464447770 A evolução do perfil dos alunos dos cursos de graduação ao longo dos anos, frente às inovações tecnológicas e facilidade de acesso a informações, exige que as metodologias de educação no ensino superior sejam constantemente aperfeiçoadas. É mundialmente reconhecido, tanto no meio acadêmico quanto na literatura científica, que os alunos têm apresentado gradativo envolvimento no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, atuando de maneira participativa e crítica; assim como os docentes têm atuado como facilitadores neste processo. Os métodos de Aprendizagem Colaborativa/Cooperativa (AC) têm apresentado resultados bastante satisfatórios em cursos de graduação, uma vez que durante as atividades educacionais, tanto os alunos quanto os docentes interagem entre si, para a construção do conhecimento. No Brasil, embora em algumas Universidades os métodos de AC já estejam sendo empregados, ainda há a necessidade de divulgação/disseminação desta proposta como forma de incremento educacional para os cursos de graduação. Desta maneira, objetivou-se, com o presente estudo, elencar e ressaltar as vantagens da AC no âmbito do ensino superior e fornecer diretrizes de como constituir ambientes favoráveis e grupos exitosos para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Para tanto, adotou-se como principal referencial teórico a linha construtivista, realizando-se levantamento bibliográfico com base em artigos e textos de abrangência na área, publicados nos últimos dez anos em periódicos e livros de reconhecido impacto científico

Oral peripheral nerve sheath tumors : a clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study of 32 cases in a Brazilian population

Oral peripheral nerve sheath tumors (OPNSTs) are reactive or neoplastic diseases that develop from proliferation of the nerve itself or their limiting sheaths. Here we describe the clinicopathologic data of OPNSTs observed in a sample of the Brazilian population and evaluate the expression of molecules associated with neural biology to determine their usefulness in the diagnosis. Descriptive study of cases diagnosed as OPNSTs, from the Pathology Laboratory at the School of Dentistry/ Federal University of Uberlandia, followed by an immunohistochemical study of S-100, CD57, neurofilament protein (NFP) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). OPNSTs comprised 0.27% of all biopsies. There were eight patients with neurofibromas, eight with traumatic neuromas, seven with schwannomas, five with granular cell tumor (GCT), and four with palisaded encapsulated neuromas (PEN). Women were more frequently affected (60.6% of the cases). Tongue and lips prevailed as the most frequent sites. S-100 was reactive in 100% of the cases. Neural fibers evidenced by CD57 reactivity of their Schwann cells were always nested in bundles within neurofibromas and GCT, absent within schwannomas and dispersed within PEN. Reactivity for NFP was limited to axons and then followed the same pattern of CD57, though much less evident. Reactivity for EMA was observed in the capsular tissues and perineurium of nerve fascicles, and absent in parenchymal cells of GCT. This study showed that OPNSTs are rare, widely benign and often found in tongue and lips. OPNSTs evolve from a common origin to distinct histological patterns, with eventual overlapping in their clinical and morphologic features. The arrangement of reactive residual neural fibers for CD57 can be a useful staining in the differential diagnosis of OPNSTs

Efficacy and safety of flexible-dose oral sildenafil citrate (Viagra((R))) in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in Brazilian and Mexican men

A 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study evaluated the efficacy and safety of flexible-dose sildenafil citrate (Viagra((R))) treatment (25, 50 or 100 mg) in Brazilian and Mexican men with erectile dysfunction (ED) of broad-spectrum etiology. Efficacy was assessed on the basis of responses to the 15-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire, completed at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment. At end point, mean scores for all IIEF domains of sexual function (erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction and overall satisfaction) were significantly (P < 0.0001) higher in the sildenafil group (n = 109) than in the placebo group (n = 105). These findings confirm the significant increases in frequency of penetration and frequency of maintained erections reported previously. Sildenafil treatment was well tolerated. the most common adverse events were headache and flushing. in conclusion, sildenafil is a well-tolerated and effective treatment for ED of broad-spectrum etiology in Latin American men.Hosp Albert Einstein, BR-01250000 São Paulo, BrazilTorre Hosp Angeles del Pedregal, Consultorio 827, MexicoFac Ciencias Med Santa Casa, Porto Alegre, RS, BrazilHosp Clin Cuiritiba, Curitiba, Parana, BrazilUniv Estadual Campinas, Fac Ciencias Med, Campinas, SP, BrazilClin Rio Claro, Rio Claro, SP, BrazilUniv Estadual Rio de Janeiro, Fac Med, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Escola Paulista Med, São Paulo, BrazilHosp Servidor Publ Estadual, São Paulo, BrazilUniversidade Federal de São Paulo, Escola Paulista Med, São Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc

Simple bone cyst : description of 60 cases seen at a Brazilian School of Dentistry and review of international literature

The aim of this study was to describe the relative frequency and the main demographic and clinic-radiographic features related to patients diagnosed with Simple bone cyst (SBC) in an Oral Diagnosis Service in Southeast Brazil and present a review and discussion of international literature on this topic. SBC cases from our service encompassing the period between 1978 and 2017 were selected. In addition, a literature search was performed in the Pubmed/MEDLINE online electronic database published between 1951 and 2019. A total of 2,459 cystic lesions were documented in our service, thus 60 patients were diagnosed with the SBC representing 2.4% of all jaw cystic. Most of cases were asymptomatic. Multiple SBC lesions were seen in two patients (3.4%) and association with cemento-osseous dysplasia was seen in one female patient (1.7%). A total of 793 cases were enrolled in this literature review. The SBC is an asymptomatic lesion often discovered in routine image exams in young patients. The unilocular, well defined margin with scalloped appearance is characteristic and helps the definition of diagnosis. This review suggests a different epidemiologic trend concerning to the sex and it confirms the posterior region of mandible as the more frequent location. The conservative treatment with limited exploration and curettage remains as the gold-standard treatment

Molecular epidemiological investigation of Mayaro virus in febrile patients from Goiania City, 2017-2018.

Mayaro virus (MAYV) has historically been associated with sylvatic transmission; however, urban outbreaks have been reported in Brazil, including cases of co-detection with dengue virus (DENV). Therefore, we performed a molecular survey to investigate MAYV circulation and cocirculation with DENV within Goiania, a major city in Central-West Brazil. Among 375 subjects with arbovirus-like symptoms, 259 were positive for DENV and 26 for MAYV. Of these, 17 were coinfected with DENV-2, suggesting co-transmission of the viruses. The most common complaints at the time of inclusion were myalgia, headache, fever, arthralgia, retro-orbital pain, and skin rash. No specific symptoms were associated with MAYV when either detected alone or co-detected with DENV, compared to that when DENV was detected alone. Most MAYV-infected subjects were women with no recent travel history to rural/sylvatic areas. Phylogenetic reconstruction indicated that the MAYV identified in this study is closely related with a lineage observed in Peru, belonging to genotype D. Our results corroborate the growing circulation of MAYV in urban environments in Brazil and reinforce the need to implement laboratory diagnosis in the Unified Health System, considering that the clinical manifestations of Mayaro fever are similar to those of other arboviruses, particularly dengue. Furthermore, most cases occurred in association with DENV-2. Further phylogenetic studies are needed to evaluate MAYV, which has not been widely examined

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
