A necessidade de haver preparo para a transmissão de uma notícia traduz-se na emergência de protocolos que norteiam tal atividade e a demandas de apoio psicológico que surgem tanto de pacientes e familiares, quanto de profissionais da saúde. A Psicologia Hospitalar vem avançando como espaço de trabalho e tema de pesquisas entre os psicólogos, e isto demonstra a ampliação da importância destes profissionais na área hospitalar, destacando seu papel nas equipes multiprofissionais que ali atuam. O presente artigo visa sistematizar a atenção psicológica prestada nos hospitais no que diz respeito a comunicação de más notícias. Para isso foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura com busca de artigos em bases de dados brasileiras, usando como descritores: comunicação de más notícias, equipe multidisciplinar, psicologia hospitalar. Foram selecionados 16 artigos. De acordo com os resultados obtidos pelas pesquisas realizadas, destaca-se o método Spikes como sendo muito eficaz para a comunicação de más notícias no contexto hospitalar, tornando-se um elo capaz de gerar um fluxo comunicacional entre a família, equipe e paciente e considera-se que há necessidade do psicólogo na unidade hospitalar tanto para a mediação da equipe de saúde e paciente quanto para dar apoio no direcionamento de como o médico realizará a transmissão de uma má notícia

Developing a Topographic Model to Predict the Northern Hardwood Forest Type within Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel ( Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus

The northern hardwood forest type is an important habitat component for the endangered Carolina northern flying squirrel (CNFS; Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus) for den sites and corridor habitats between boreo-montane conifer patches foraging areas. Our study related terrain data to presence of northern hardwood forest type in the recovery areas of CNFS in the southern Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and southwestern Virginia. We recorded overstory species composition and terrain variables at 338 points, to construct a robust, spatially predictive model. Terrain variables analyzed included elevation, aspect, slope gradient, site curvature, and topographic exposure. We used an information-theoretic approach to assess seven models based on associations noted in existing literature as well as an inclusive global model. Our results indicate that, on a regional scale, elevation, aspect, and topographic exposure index (TEI) are significant predictors of the presence of the northern hardwood forest type in the southern Appalachians. Our elevation + TEI model was the best approximating model (the lowest AICc score) for predicting northern hardwood forest type correctly classifying approximately 78% of our sample points. We then used these data to create region-wide predictive maps of the distribution of the northern hardwood forest type within CNFS recovery areas

Future Lyme disease risk in the southeastern United States based on projected land cover

Lyme disease is the most significant vector-borne disease in the United States, and its southward advance over several decades has been quantified. Previous research has examined the potential role of climate change on the disease’s expansion, but no studies have considered the role of future land cover upon its distribution. This research examines Lyme disease risk in the south-eastern U.S. based on projected land cover developed under four Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Scenarios: A1B, A2, B1, and B2. Land cover types and edge indices significantly associated with Lyme disease in Virginia were incorporated into a spatial Poisson regression model to quantify potential land cover suitability for Lyme disease in the south-eastern U.S. under each scenario. Our results indicate an intensification of potential land cover suitability for Lyme disease under the A scenarios and a decrease of potential land cover suitability under the B scenarios. The decrease under the B scenarios is a critical result, indicating that Lyme disease risk can be decreased by making different land cover choices. Additionally, health officials can focus efforts in projected high incidence areas

Online information systems for today's forest industry

The Internet and its capabilities has become a powerful information tool for all members of society. Now more than ever, the internet is allowing important business information to be shared and gathered faster and more efficiently. Critical financial and business decisions are made on a daily basis, based on the information that is obtained through websites and online communication. A variety of informational resources are available to those with internet access. Some websites offer information at no cost, while others have a charge or membership fee to access pertinent information. The information gained through such websites is now being harnessed by forest industries, allowing many landowners, foresters, and forest businesses to make important business contacts more efficiently; while also gaining knowledge about current market trends and future wood supply and demand outlooks. Our purpose is to review some of the more common types of informational websites related to the forest and wood products industry and evaluate the data that these systems provide to the participants in the wood supply chain. This paper evaluates just a few of the many rapidly emerging websites available, with a focus on Virginia, USA. The main concern was to explore the different types of information available through the internet from a stakeholder perspective in the forest industry supply chain

Exploring the Role of Community-Level Factors in the Adoption of Conservation Easements: A Virginia Case Study

The drivers of individual landowners’ adoption of conservation easements have been well-studied. However, the role and relative predictive power of drivers at the community, rather than individual, scale have not. This study employs diffusion of innovations theory to examine easement adoption in Virginia at the community scale, using geospatial analysis as well as surveys and interviews with easement practitioners. Geospatial modeling results suggest that community-level easement likelihood can be predicted well, but community-level predictors differ from typical individual-level predictors. The literature suggests that easement adopters are typically wealthier, more educated, and less land-dependent. The communities containing easements in our study were generally less wealthy, less educated, and more economically dependent on the land. Data collected from practitioners highlighted the importance of community-scale forces in predicting patterns of easement adoption, including community cohesion, aspects of local land-use planning, and the influence of change agents and opinion leaders

Forest productivity and tree diversity relationships depend on ecological context within mid-Atlantic and Appalachian forests (USA)

Factors influencing the relationship between ecosystem productivity and biological diversity form the basis of much ecological theory. An understanding of how productivity-diversity relationships are influenced by scale of observation and unique attributes of ecoregions may provide important insights to aid conservation planning for carbon retention and biodiversity. Here we use publically available datasets to investigate patterns of productivity-diversity and explore potential factors influencing these patterns in forests located in five mid-Atlantic and Appalachian states. We used a geographic information system (GIS) to overlay multiple publically available datasets including remotely sensed estimates of productivity from MODIS and tree diversity estimated from the forest inventory analysis (FIA) database. We evaluated productivity-diversity relationships using two scales of observation (among and within ecoregions). We also determined if productivity-diversity relationships might be related to region-wide patterns in land use, and if the relationships varied by forest type, land management zones, and along gradients of mean productivity and diversity. Productivity-diversity relationships depended on scale and varied among ecoregions, and land use was correlated with both productivity and diversity. Mountainous ecoregions were characterized by positive productivity-diversity relationships, whereas coastal ecoregions were characterized by negative productivity-diversity relationships. Forest types and management zones that were on average less productive and more diverse exhibited positive productivity-diversity relationships across stands (the most productive stands were more diverse). In contrast, ecoregions and forest types that were on average more productive and less diverse exhibited negative productivity-diversity relationships (the most productive stands were less diverse). In conclusion, regional and local ecological and anthropogenic factors likely influence productivity-diversity relationships and these relationships appear to change along gradients of productivity and diversity
