Este artigo realiza o processo de adaptação e análise das propriedades psicométricas da versão portuguesa do instrumento Scale of Passion de Vallerand et al.1, para docentes do contexto paranaense, obtida a partir do método de tradução cross-cultural, com base na Teoria do Modelo Dualista da Paixão. Dividindo-se em três fases: (1) adaptação transcultural e validade de conteúdo (N = 27); (2) confiabilidade e validade deconstructo (N = 441); (3) fidedignidade (N = 87) aplicada a docentes de ensino médio e superior de diferentes áreas que lecionam nas regiões norte central e centro ocidental do estado do Paraná. Concluímos que a sua versão com 14 itens mostrou ser uma medida com qualidades psicométricas, indicando ser aplicável aos docentes do contexto paranaense, como um instrumento de avaliação da paixão pela atividade docente

FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA DE PROFESSORES: UM ESTUDO COM DOCENTES DE UM CURSO SUPERIOR DE TECNOLOGIA

O artigo 66 da Lei 9394/96 determina que “a preparação para o exercício do magistério superior far-se-á em nível de pós-graduação, prioritariamente em programas de mestrado e doutorado”, no entanto essa formação pode ser em qualquer área do conhecimento, não necessariamente na área da Educação. Sabe-se que tais programas estão voltados para a formação de pesquisadores em campos específicos e não objetivam a formação de professores. Sendo assim, a grande maioria dos professores que atuam no Ensino Superior são pesquisadores que carecem de formação para a docência. Desta forma, as universidades devem promover a formação pedagógica de seu professorado, imprescindível para conseguir a qualidade docente à que se compromete em sua oferta acadêmica. Diante deste contexto, o presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever quais são as necessidades de formação pedagógica dos docentes do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gestão de Recursos Humanos do Instituto Federal de São Paulo (IFSP) - Câmpus Sertãozinho

User perception on the approach of a team of multidisciplinary residents

Estudo qualitativo realizado com o objetivo de identificar e analisar as percepções dos usuários acompanhados por uma equipe de residentes multiprofissional. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, sendo posteriormente submetidos à análise temática que permitiu a construção de três categorias: 1) É diferente, vem com a gente!; 2) Surpresa boa não é aquela que não se espera, é aquela que não se esquece; 3) Críticas: o despertar de potências. A conclusão mostra que aparentemente a abordagem multiprofissional, com tendência interprofissional, vivenciada pelos sujeitos entrevistados envolveu fatores positivos, apesar das barreiras para a efetivação desta prática.Qualitative study aiming to identify and analyze the perceptions of users accompanied by a team of Multidisciplinary residents. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and later submitted to thematic analysis which allowed the construction of three categories: 1) It is different, come along!; 2) a good surprise is not that which is not expected, but that which will not be forgotten; 3) reviews: the awakening of powers. The conclusion shows that apparently the multidisciplinary approach, with inter-professional tendency, experienced by interviewees involved positive factors, despite the barriers to the realization of this practice

Climate change and mental health of Indigenous peoples living in their territory: a concept mapping study

BackgroundThe alarming increase in annual deforestation rates has had devastating consequences in climate change, and it is affecting Indigenous people, who depend entirely on the land for survival and has also weakened the rainforest's crucial role in stabilizing the global climate. Recognizing and respecting Indigenous people's needs and social, economic, and historical conditions influence health and healthcare. This study aimed to conduct online concept mapping workshops with university students to identify perceived important and feasible actions for improving the mental health of Indigenous people living in their territory in association with climate change.MethodsConcept mapping, a participatory mixed methodology, was conducted virtually with 20 Indigenous students at two universities in Brazil. A focus prompt was developed from consultations with Indigenous stakeholders and read—“To improve the mental health of Indigenous peoples in their territory during climate change crises, it is necessary to….”ResultsUniversity students organized 42 unique statements in 6 clusters that cover a wide range of topics: family support, 0.68 (SD 0.19); respect and understanding, 0.37 (SD 0.08); improvement actions, 0.52 (SD 0.07); public policies in favor of Indigenous people's mental health, 0.24 (0.09); health actions, 0.15 (SD 0.08); Indigenous training in health and its importance in improving mental health 0.32 (SD 0.07).ConclusionThese clusters range from community initiatives, public policies, health actions, and strengthening professional services in Indigenous communities. These all provide numerous concrete ideas for developing interventions designed to address mental health challenges associated with climate change

Brazilian recommendations on the safety and effectiveness of the yellow fever vaccination in patients with chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases

Background: In Brazil, we are facing an alarming epidemic scenario of Yellow fever (YF), which is reaching the most populous areas of the country in unvaccinated people. Vaccination is the only effective tool to prevent YF. In special situations, such as patients with chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (CIMID), undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, as a higher risk of severe adverse events may occur, assessment of the risk-benefit ratio of the yellow fever vaccine (YFV) should be performed on an individual level. Main body of the abstract: Faced with the scarcity of specific orientation on YFV for this special group of patients, the Brazilian Rheumatology Society (BRS) endorsed a project aiming the development of individualized YFV recommendations for patients with CIMID, guided by questions addressed by both medical professionals and patients, followed an internationally validated methodology (GIN-McMaster Guideline Development). Firstly, a systematic review was carried out and an expert panel formed to take part of the decision process, comprising BRS clinical practitioners, as well as individuals from the Brazilian Dermatology Society (BDS), Brazilian Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Study Group (GEDIIB), and specialists on infectious diseases and vaccination (from Tropical Medicine, Infectious Diseases and Immunizations National Societies); in addition, two representatives of patient groups were included as members of the panel. When the quality of the evidence was low or there was a lack of evidence to determine the recommendations, the decisions were based on the expert opinion panel and a Delphi approach was performed. A recommendation was accepted upon achieving ≥80% agreement among the panel, including the patient representatives. As a result, eight recommendations were developed regarding the safety of YFV in patients with CIMID, considering the immunosuppression degree conferred by the treatment used. It was not possible to establish recommendations on the effectiveness of YFV in these patients as there is no consistent evidence to support these recommendations. Conclusion: This paper approaches a real need, assessed by clinicians and patient care groups, to address specific questions on the management of YFV in patients with CIMID living or traveling to YF endemic areas, involving specialists from many areas together with patients, and might have global applicability, contributing to and supporting vaccination practices. We recommended a shared decision-making approach on taking or not the YFV

Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species

Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overlay spatial distribution models with historical and projected deforestation to show that at least 36% and up to 57% of all Amazonian tree species are likely to qualify as globally threatened under International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria. If confirmed, these results would increase the number of threatened plant species on Earth by 22%. We show that the trends observed in Amazonia apply to trees throughout the tropics, and we predict thatmost of the world’s >40,000 tropical tree species now qualify as globally threatened. A gap analysis suggests that existing Amazonian protected areas and indigenous territories will protect viable populations of most threatened species if these areas suffer no further degradation, highlighting the key roles that protected areas, indigenous peoples, and improved governance can play in preventing large-scale extinctions in the tropics in this century

An estimate of the number of tropical tree species

The high species richness of tropical forests has long been recognized, yet there remains substantial uncertainty regarding the actual number of tropical tree species. Using a pantropical tree inventory database from closed canopy forests, consisting of 657,630 trees belonging to 11,371 species, we use a fitted value of Fisher’s alpha and an approximate pantropical stem total to estimate the minimum number of tropical forest tree species to fall between ∼40,000 and ∼53,000, i.e. at the high end of previous estimates. Contrary to common assumption, the Indo-Pacific region was found to be as species-rich as the Neotropics, with both regions having a minimum of ∼19,000–25,000 tree species. Continental Africa is relatively depauperate with a minimum of ∼4,500–6,000 tree species. Very few species are shared among the African, American, and the Indo-Pacific regions. We provide a methodological framework for estimating species richness in trees that may help refine species richness estimates of tree-dependent taxa
