Variação linguística e ensino na Escola Polo Municipal Rural São Manuel Anastácio-MS

Monografia (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade UnB Planaltina, Licenciatura em Educação do Campo, 2013.Este trabalho consiste em investigar as variedades linguísticas existentes no Assentamento São Manoel e na escola com alunos das series finais , no intuito de compreender como as variações são trabalhadas em sala de aula, por professores de língua portuguesa das séries finais, do Ensino Fundamental, 8º e 9º anos. Buscamos subsídios nos teóricos linguistas para a realização deste estudo na pesquisa de campo e para analisar os dados recolhidos de moradores da comunidade e estudantes. Está fundamentado em uma pesquisa qualitativa com base teórica da sociolinguística. O estudo teórico da sociolinguística mostra que a língua tem um mar de diversidade, que permeia entre os falantes e está em constante transformação. A falta de conhecimento dos professores de língua portuguesa, sobre a variedade linguística, faz com que o estudo linguístico fique limitado nos livros didáticos e gramática normativa, dificultando uma visão ampla sobre as variedades linguísticas dos alunos. Desta forma, este estudo das variações contribuirá na construção de sujeitos críticos, com visão ampla da língua humana, com a finalidade de compreender as variedades sem estigmatizá-las

Conexão entre competência em informação e as disciplinas fontes de informação e serviço de referência: um mapa conceitual

Analysis of the theoretical and practical possibilities of applying information literacy models in the disciplines Information Sources and Reference Service, based on their teaching plans. Documentary research, comparing the literature on the subject and the teaching plans of the subjects of Information Sources and Reference Service offered in the undergraduate course in Librarianship of the University of the State of Santa Catarina. The results of the documentary analysis point to a close relationship between the disciplines and the chosen model of information competence, especially with the discipline of Information Sources. Its application facilitates a learning that leads the future librarian to act as mediator in the process of developing abilities for the search, access, assimilation of information in order to solve problems and to build an environment of generation and transmission of knowledge to the community of users. It presents at the end a conceptual map developed from bibliographical and documentary research

Characteristics of effective peer mentorship for primiparous mothers: Qualitative findings from a peer support program

The early days of motherhood can be challenging, especially for first-time mothers. These challenges can predispose women to maternal distress, and social support—such as that offered by peers—can be important in assisting mothers to manage such distress. While existing research has identified that first time mothers often seek for and value peer support programs (e.g., practical advice, not feeling alone), few researchers have investigated factors that contribute to successful peer support and mentorship for primiparous women. Insight into these factors can be key to enhancing the success of future peer support interventions. Thematic analysis was applied to thirty-six semi structured interviews conducted with fourteen primiparous mothers and seventeen peer mentors in a peer support program. Four key factors were identified and included: expectations about the peer mentor relationship, independence of peer mentor (i.e., not part of the mother’s immediate circle of friend or family), nature of contact between primiparous mothers and peer mentors (e.g., frequency, content of conversation), and similarities between primiparous mothers and peer mentors (e.g., pregnancy and parenting experience, personality, beliefs). This study adds to existing research on factors that contribute to building successful peer mentor relationships for primiparous women. The identification of additional factors that influence peer mentor relationships, and the interplay between those factors appear important in the formulation of support networks for first time mothers. To encourage successful peer support relationships, future intervention developers need to understand the dynamics between these factors and their influence on successful relationships in a peer support context

Patient safety in plastic surgery: a systematic review

Introduction: patient safety has become an increasingly present topic in health research. Plastic surgery is a specialty in evidence, and it is necessary to adapt patient safety to its particularities. Methods: Systematic review to investigate actions related to patient safety in plastic surgery. MEDLINE and SCIELO were chosen to locate the studies. The descriptors: "patient safety" and "plastic surgery" were used in the MEDLINE database. In SCIELO, the descriptors: "segurança do paciente" e "cirurgia plástica" were used. In both cases, the publication period was between 2012-2018, totaling 15 articles. Results: The countries that published the most on the subject were the United States and Brazil. The most frequent concern was safety related to the training of plastic surgery residents. Tools like the checklist have also been used to improve security. Another concern that requires more study will be if the weekends have higher complications with surgeries performed during the week. However, well-formulated medical records, as well as the Informed Consent Form (ICT), appear to have a more solid basis in patient safety. Pre-anesthetic consultation also seems to favor patient safety. Furthermore, finally, the use of WhatsApp seems to be a safe tool, and that improves the care provided by the medical team. Conclusion: The need for more in-depth studies on this topic is emphasized, considering that a systematized protocol was not found

Reliability and Comparison of Some GEANT4-DNA Processes and Models for Proton Transportation: An Ultra-Thin Layer Study

This chapter presents a specific reliability study of some GEANT4-DNA (version 10.02.p01) processes and models for proton transportation considering ultra-thin layers (UTL). The Monte Carlo radiation transport validation is fundamental to guarantee the simulation results accuracy. However, sometimes this is impossible due to the lack of experimental data and, it is then that the reliability evaluation takes an important role. Geant4-DNA runs in an energy range that makes impossible, nowadays, to perform a proper microscopic validation (cross-sections and dynamic diffusion parameters) and allows very limited macroscopic reliability. The chemical damage cross-sections reliability (experiment versus simulation) is a way to verify the consistency of the simulation results which is presented for 2 MeV incident protons beam on PMMA and PVC UTL. A comparison among different Geant4-DNA physics lists for incident protons beams from 2 to 20 MeV, interacting with homogeneous water UTL (2 to 200 nm) was performed. This comparison was evaluated for standard and five other optional physics lists considering radial and depth profiles of deposited energy as well as number of interactions and stopping power of the incident particle

Specific secondary genetic alterations in mantle cell lymphoma provide prognostic information independent of the gene expression-based proliferation signature.

Purpose To compare the genetic relationship between cyclin D1 - positive and cyclin D1 - negative mantle cell lymphomas (MCLs) and to determine whether specific genetic alterations may add prognostic information to survival prediction based on the proliferation signature of MCLs. Patients and Methods Seventy-one cyclin D1 - positive and six cyclin D1 - negative MCLs previously characterized by gene expression profiling were examined by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Results Cyclin D1 - negative MCLs were genetically characterized by gains of 3q, 8q, and 15q, and losses of 1p, 8p23- pter, 9p21- pter, 11q21- q23, and 13q that were also the most common alterations in conventional MCLs. Parallel analysis of CGH aberrations and locus-specific gene expression profiles in cyclin D1 - positive patients showed that chromosomal imbalances had a substantial impact on the expression levels of the genes located in the altered regions. The analysis of prognostic factors revealed that the proliferation signature, the number of chromosomal aberrations, gains of 3q, and losses of 8p, 9p, and 9q predicted survival of MCL patients. A multivariate analysis showed that the gene expression-based proliferation signature was the strongest predictor for shorter survival. However, 3q gains and 9q losses provided prognostic information that was independent of the proliferative activity. Conclusion Cyclin D1 - positive and - negative MCLs share the same secondary genetic aberrations, supporting the concept that they correspond to the same genetic entity. The integration of genetic information on chromosome 3q and 9q alterations into a proliferation signature-based model may improve the ability to predict survival in patients with MCL
