The work design contribution to educational workers' sustainable wellbeing and performance patterns

Brazilian education faces difficulties relating to performance and illness, suggesting that the characteristics of the work can affect both variables. This study aims to describe the work characteristics that increase the odds of having happy–productive patterns in education workers. A total of 4,598 employees of the Secretariat of Education of the Federal District (SEEDF) participated in the research, answering questionnaires about work design (Brazilian version, with 18 factors), wellbeing (containing three factors), and performance. The results showed that task, social, and contextual characteristics increase the probability of being in the happy–productive pattern, and specifically, Social Support, Feedback from Others, Task Significance, Task Identity, and Autonomy, in this order, should be considered for intervention purposes

Distribuição geográfica de Aphanodictyon papillatum Huneycutt ex Dick (Saprolegniales) no Brasil.

A diversidade de fungos zoospóricos no Brasil ainda é pouco conhecida. Apesar das dimensões continentais, os estudos destes organismos são relativamente escassos no país. Atualmente, segundo check-list dos fungos zoospóricos do Brasil (Milanez et al.; 2007), o qual relaciona representantes de três diferentes reinos: Fungi, Protozoa, Chromista (Straminipila), são referidas as ocorrências de 328 taxa. O conhecimento da distribuição geográfi ca desses fungos, consequentemente, está restrita às áreas onde se concentram os estudos realizados com esses organismos no país. Pesquisas, recentemente desenvolvidas, visando contribuir para o conhecimento da diversidade de fungos zoospóricos no nordeste brasileiro, têm revelado a ocorrência de espécies pouco comuns. Um fungo queratinofílico, obtido de amostras de solo, que tem se destacado é Aphanodictyon papillatum Huneycutt ex Dick

Apexification with a New Intra-Canal Medicament: A Multidisciplinary Case Report

Dental trauma generally requires multidisciplinary planning and treatment for good prognosis. When immature teeth are traumatized to a degree where pulp necrosis ensues, the objective of root canal treatment should be apexogenesis and root maturation. Apexification of the root is the conventional choice, which involves cleaning the canal and filling it with a temporary medication that stimulates the formation of a calcific apical barrier. Dental Trauma Service of Piracicaba Dental School, State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil employs a dressing for apexification treatments with calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine gel 2% and zinc oxide. This paper reports the case of a dental trauma of the maxillary central incisors and subluxation on teeth 11, 12 and 21 that were treated with multidisciplinary collaboration (Endodontics, Periodontology and Operative Dentistry) to improve prognosis. After five-years there were no pathological conditions and the teeth showed every evidences of success

Simultaneous presentation of trichotillomania and neurotic excoriation in a schizophrenic patient: case report: Apresentação simultânea de tricotilomania e escoriação neurótica em paciente esquizofrênico: relato de caso

The present report aims to describe the case of a patient with excoriation disorder and trichotillomania comorbid with schizophrenia. This is a patient diagnosed with schizophrenia more than 30 years ago and who had a stabilized psychic condition. In one of his periodic evaluations, he began to demonstrate compulsive acts of picking at the skin and from then onwards, lesions appeared on the face, upper limbs and scalp with progressive involvement of other regions. The approach of these mental disorders represented a challenge, because despite a growing number of studies, clinical and therapeutic questions remain open

Divulgação científica e o projeto momento ciência

O projeto Momento Ciência tem como propósito tornar o conhecimento cientifico acessível, promovendo a divulgação científica através do contato direto de alunos de ensino médio de escolas públicas do Distrito Federal e alunos recém aprovados, calouros, nos cursos de Ciências Biológicas e de Biotecnologia na Universidade de Brasília (UnB). Esse contato com a comunidade científica ocorre por meio de visitas aos laboratórios acadêmicos do Instituto de Ciências Biológicas (IB) da Universidade de Brasília. O projeto obteve resultados positivos e esperados ao longo da sua execução

Dormancy Breaking in Ormosia arborea Seeds

Ormosia arborea is a tree species planted in urban areas and used to restore degraded areas. Its seeds are dormant and propagation is difficult. This study compares different dormancy breaking methods and physiological seed quality and seedling production. The seeds were germinated in sand in the laboratory of the Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil. The following dormancy breaking treatments were applied: control (intact seeds), 100°C water immersion; boiling water immersion followed by 24 hours of soaking; scarification with number 100 and number 50 sandpaper opposite from root emergence; sulfuric acid immersion for 1 hour, 50, 45, and 30 minutes. Seed immersion in 100°C and boiling water did not break the dormancy. The study species showed a greater vigor of seedling when its seeds were submitted to treatments associated with tegument rupturing by sandpaper or sulfuric acid. On the other hand, seed scarification with sulfuric acid for 1 hour, 50, 45, and 30 minutes or sandpaper favored seed germination and vigor
