Single parenting: Interventions in the transitional stage

Following divorce or separation, many mother-headed families need to mourn losses, including reduced economic resources. They need to reestablish family rituals, confront such issues as time management and structural changes that can result in scapegoating or over-reliance on a parental child. Normalizing difficulties associated with parenting is important because single parents tend to internalize societal attribution of family difficulties to inadequate family structure rather than developmental stages, limited economic resources, and negative expectations about the capacity of women to head families.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/44289/1/10591_2004_Article_BF00891869.pd

Plantas daninhas em ilhas de vegetação em processo de regeneração natural

Neste trabalho é apresentada a composição florística e estrutural de ilhas de vegetação de um inselberg do Vale do Moxuara, localizado no município de Cariacica-Espírito Santo, onde avaliou-se a riqueza das ilhas de vegetação está relacionada com seu tamanho e com a profundidade do solo. Foram avaliadas 45 ilhas de vegetação para estimativa dos parâmetros fitossociológicos necessários às análises. Foram encontradas 53 espécies de plantas vasculares, pertencentes a 24 famílias e 48 gêneros. As famílias com maior representatividade foram Poaceae, com sete espécies, seguida de Asteraceae, Malvaceae e Fabaceae, com seis espécies cada. Plantas daninhas representaram 39,6% da flora inventariada e 25,5% da cobertura vegetal das ilhas. As espécies com maior frequência e cobertura relativa foram Selaginella convoluta e Anemia tomentosa. A regressão múltipla não se mostrou significativa, o que foi discutido considerando o papel inibidor de espécies daninhas.This study presents the floristic and structural composition of vegetation islands of an inselberg in Vale do Moxuara, in Cariacica-ES, to evaluate whether the islands' richness is related to their size and soil depth. A total of 45 vegetation islands were evaluated by estimating the phytosociological parameters needed for the analysis. Fifty-three vascular plant species of twenty-four families and forty-eight genders were found. The most outstanding families were Poaceae, with seven species, followed by Malvaceae and Fabaceae, with six species each. Weeds represented 39.6% of all flora listed and 25.5% of the islands' vegetation cover. Selaginella convoluta and Anemia tomentosa had the most frequency and relative cover. Multiple regression was not significant, considering the inhibiting role played by the weed species
