    Objective: To assess self-esteem and depression in patients submitted for orthognathic surgery. Methods: Assessment was realized on 29 patients, male and female, aged 17 to 46, presenting Angle Class III malocclusion and referred for surgical treatment, during the preoperative (orthodontic preparation) and postoperative (six-month postoperative) periods. Either maxillomandibular or isolated procedures were performed. Two previously validated standardized measurement instruments for this area were used: the UNIFESP-EPM Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the SelfReport Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20). Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis (Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance and the Bonferroni test) verified possible interactions between the pre and postoperative periods, genders and types of surgery. Significance was determined at 5%. Results: Females showed improved self-esteem, presenting lower mean values after surgery (8.9 to 6.3). Regarding depression, a significant reduction in the number of depressive symptoms (p=0.002) occurred for female patients. Conclusions: Female patients presented improved self-esteem and diminished depressive symptoms due to surgical intervention; whereas male patients showed no alteration in self-esteem and depression with surgical intervention

    A MATRIZ

    O artigo contempla uma reflexão sobre as possibilidades de simulação e a filosofia desenvolvida no filme “Matrix” para inserção do espectador nas questões filosóficas da existência. A escolha, as possibilidades e a codificação são o ponto de partida para pensarmos a complexidade de fatores que norteiam nossas decisões, os seres e as coisas que fazem parte de nossa ambiência. Sistemas, processos e tarefas revolucionam as rotinas tecnologicas através da visão sistêmica postulada pela administração, o mundo visto por uma filosofia pósmoderna, fruto da própria cibercultura descrita pelos Irmãos Wachowski e que encontra embasamentos em Platão (Conto da Caverna). Analisando a produção cinematográfica que faz parte de uma trilogia, busca-se perceber os fatos que permeiam o imaginário atual em busca das questões ontológicas da humanidade

    The privacy and control paradoxes in the context of smartphone apps

    This research examines how various factors, such as the degree of e-privacy concerns and control over data access permissions, can influence a user's intention to install a smartphone app. We conducted two survey-based experiments with 441 participants. In each experiment, we manipulated the degree of control over the number and type of data access permissions granted to different fictional apps. In Study 1, participants were informed about the set of permissions the apps required. In Study 2, participants indicated which individual permissions they were willing to grant to the apps. In both experiments, we assessed the level of e-privacy concerns, perceived app importance, and the intention to install the apps. The results suggest that the type of app plays a central role in determining both the perceived benefit of installing the app and the level of e-privacy concerns. The intention to install an app is more strongly associated with perceived app importance than with e-privacy concerns (especially when app importance is high, and users have explicit control over which specific data access permissions they want to grant). The implications of these results are discussed regarding psychological factors involved in app installation decision-making process and the importance of promoting data protection by design

    This research aimed to understand the discursive processes of contextualization and recontextualization of the National Curricular Common Base and the Connected Education Innovation Policy, aiming at the insertion of digital information and communication technologies and the appropriation of digital culture in elementary education in the Municipal Public Network. of Education of Aracaju (RPMEA). The theoretical script took as a reference the approach of the Educational Policy Cycle, to analyze the intercontext discursive processes of transfer policies, revealed by the categories of the theoretical approach that were represented by the macrocontexts of the transnational networks of influence and text production of educational policies, and by the local microcontext, represented by the Municipal Department of Education (SEMED) and the Municipal School of Elementary Education Oviedo Teixeira, in Aracaju. The course included a bibliographic review of liberalism, its doctrinal origin in the 17th century, in England, and a historical clipping of its political developments, in the legal system and, above all, in capitalist production and in classical economics, to understand the expression neoliberal imaginary and its mechanisms of influence, action and power, under which the Educational Policy Cycle and its contextual macro and micro categories and respective discourses of truth and power are analyzed in the post-structuralist perspective. The investigation data were collected and analyzed by the methods of network ethnography and research and documental analysis of policies, resolutions, guidelines, norms, ordinances, protocols, notebooks, and other documents, as well as semi-structured interviews with education professionals from the local microcontext. The analysis of the categories in relation to the research object revealed the presence of an emerging education ecosystem in the national market, exercised by family philanthropy organizations in partnership with corporate business organizations, startups and educational entrepreneurship, operating in public and private basic education; that the National Curricular Common Base is an integrating norm of policies of the National Education System, inspired by the theory of lifelong learning and structured in a matrix of competences and skills to be developed by students through a hybrid education for educational innovation , supported by the Connected Education Innovation Policy that links public investment funds and monitoring of resources and results. In the local microcontext, the standardization of the common base was concluded with the Pedagogical Notebooks of the Municipal Network and with the Sergipe Curriculum, schools were equipped with infrastructure, internet access technology and digital devices for teachers, but they did not advance in the implementation of the hybrid pedagogy and in the objective evaluation of the results of connected innovation policies. The analysis of the intercontext discursive process of educational policies led to the following thesis defended here: the insertion of Digital Information and Communication Technologies and the appropriation of digital culture in a structured and instrumental way as established by the BNCC will require a disruptive change in the planning process and in the implementation of pedagogical policy at SEMED and RPMEA. The change process should prioritize an inversion of the meaning of the demands for the construction of the school and the pedagogical model adapted to hybrid education, with compatible valorization, commitment, and the active participation of the actors in the RPMEA. The thesis projects that the non-occurrence of the proposed disruptive transformation will maintain the hegemony of conventional pedagogy in the school practices of the RPMEA, will hinder innovation for a connected education network, accentuate the differences in the quality of education between private and public networks and between these and it will make unfeasible equity in basic education established by law.Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender os processos discursivos de contextualização e de recontextualização da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e da Política de Inovação Educação Conectada, visando a inserção de tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação e a apropriação da cultura digital no ensino fundamental da Rede Pública Municipal de Ensino de Aracaju (RPMEA). O roteiro teórico tomou como referencial a abordagem do Ciclo de Políticas Educacionais para analisar os processos discursivos intercontextos das políticas de transferência reveladas pelas categorias da abordagem teórica, as quais foram representadas pelos macrocontextos das redes transnacionais de influência e de produção de textos das políticas educacionais e pelo microcontexto local na Secretaria Municipal de Educação (SEMED) e na Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Oviedo Teixeira, em Aracaju. O percurso incluiu uma revisão bibliográfica do liberalismo, sua origem doutrinária no século XVII, na Inglaterra, e um recorte histórico de seus desdobramentos políticos, no ordenamento jurídico e, sobretudo, na produção capitalista e na economia clássica, para compreensão da expressão imaginário neoliberal e seus mecanismos de influência, ação e poder, sob os quais se desenvolvem o Ciclo de Políticas Educacionais e suas categorias macro e micro contextuais e respectivos discursos de verdade e poder analisados na perspectiva pós-estruturalista. Os dados da investigação foram levantados e analisados pelos métodos de etnografia de rede e de pesquisa e análise documental de políticas, resoluções, diretrizes, normas, portarias, protocolos, cadernos e outros documentos, bem como por entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais da educação no microcontexto local. As análises das categorias em relação ao objeto de pesquisa revelaram a presença de um ecossistema emergente de educação no mercado nacional, exercido por organizações familiares de filantropia em parceria com organizações empresariais corporativas, startups e de empreendedorismo educacional, com atuação na educação básica pública e privada; que a Base Nacional Comum Curricular é uma norma integradora da estrutura das políticas de educação básica, inspirada na teoria de aprendizagens ao longo da vida e estruturada numa matriz de competências e habilidades a serem desenvolvidas pelos estudantes por meio de uma educação híbrida para a inovação educacional, apoiada pela Política de Inovação Educação Conectada que vincula fundos públicos de investimentos e monitoramento dos recursos e resultados. No microcontexto local, a normatização da base comum foi concluída com os Cadernos Pedagógicos da Rede Municipal e com o Currículo de Sergipe, as escolas foram equipadas com infraestrutura, tecnologia de acesso à internet e dispositivos digitais para os professores, porém não avançaram na implementação da pedagogia híbrida e na avaliação objetiva de resultados das políticas de educação conectada. A análise do processo discursivo intercontextos das políticas educacionais direcionou a seguinte tese: a inserção de Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação e a apropriação da cultura digital de forma estruturada e instrumental, como estabelecem a BNCC e a Política de Educação Conectada, oferecem desafios e oportunidades que exigirão uma mudança disruptiva no processo de planejamento e na execução da política pedagógica na SEMED e na RPMEA. O processo de mudança deverá priorizar uma inversão de sentido das demandas para construção da escola e do modelo pedagógico adaptados à educação hibrida, com a valorização compatível e a participação ativa dos atores na RPMEA. A tese projeta que a não ocorrência da transformação disruptiva proposta manterá a hegemonia da pedagogia convencional nas práticas escolares da RPMEA, dificultará a inovação para uma rede de educação conectada, acentuará as diferenças de qualidade da educação entre as redes privada e pública e inviabilizará a equidade preestabelecida nas políticas educacionais da educação básica.São Cristóvã
