Desenvolvimento psicossocial e ansiedades nos jovens

Este estudo, baseado na perspectiva do desenvolvimento psicossocial de Erikson, teve como principal objectivo estudar a relação entre as diferentes tarefas desenvolvimentais e a ansiedade nos jovens. Na presente investigação foi utilizada uma amostra de 511 jovens portugueses, com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 26 anos, que frequentavam diferentes cursos universitários em estabelecimentos de ensino superior da área metropolitana do Porto. De modo geral, verifica-se que a uma resolução das tarefas psicossociais de forma construtiva corresponde uma menor tendência para a ansiedade. Relativamente ao género, registam-se efeitos significativos nos medos, pensamentos obsessivos e comportamentos compulsivos e nos estádios do desenvolvimento psicossocial. Verifica-se que o género feminino assume médias mais elevadas na maior parte dos medos e o género masculino nas características obsessivo- compulsivas. O efeito do género nas diferentes tarefas psicossociais só se mostra significativo para a confiança vs. desconfiança em que as raparigas apresentam médias mais baixas comparativamente aos rapazes e médias mais elevadas na tarefa da indústria vs. inferioridade.This research, based on the Erikson’s psychosocial development perspective, has as its fundamental goal to study the relations between developmental psychosocial tasks and anxiety in young people. In this study we used a sample of 511 Portuguese young people, with ages between 17 and 26 years, which attended several higher education courses in the Porto area. Globally, results show that a constructive resolution of psychosocial tasks corresponds to a smaller tendency for anxiety. Results also allow the understanding of the specific contribution each stage has concerning the development of different anxious structures. As for gender, results indicate the presence of significant effects for fears, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, as well as for psychosocial developmental stages.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Mixing efficiency on plant cell growth and proteinase production in a stirred tank reactor

Mixing efficiency is one of the most significant factors in bioprocess productivity. The major role of agitation is to improve broth homogenization, mass and heat transfer inside the bioreactors

Alpha-Hemoglobin-Stabilizing Protein: An Erythroid Molecular Chaperone

Alpha-hemoglobin-stabilizing protein (AHSP) is an erythroid-specific protein that acts as a molecular chaperone for the free α chains of hemoglobin. Evidence strongly suggests that AHSP participates in hemoglobin synthesis and may act to neutralize the cytotoxic effects of excess free alpha-globin subunits that accumulate both in normal and beta-thalassemic erythroid precursor cells. As such, AHSP seems to be essential for normal erythropoiesis, and impaired upregulation of AHSP may lead to premature erythroid cell death, resulting in ineffective erythropoiesis. Reduced AHSP mRNA expression has been associated with clinical variability in some cases of β-thalassemia. It has been shown that αHb variants may also impair AHSP-αHb interactions, leading to pathological conditions that resemble α-thalassemia syndromes. The aim of this paper is to summarize current information concerning the structure and function of AHSP, focusing on its role in normal erythropoiesis and its relevance in health and disease

The performance of an aerated stirred tank reactor on VHG batch fermentations

The quest for new and renewable energy sources has greatly increased due to the depletion of fossil fuels reserves. Agro-food wastes appear as a cheap and renewable energy source that can contain great amounts of carbon to be transformed in bioethanol that can be used as additive to gasoline

Intimidad: ser y estar en la relación

Considering all structural elements of a relationship, the concept of intimacy is, from our point of view, the widest, and also the most complex and controversial. This is due to its conceptual vulnerability (proximity and even overlapping of contents) and its long history of changes in its meaning. From our perspective, a definition of intimacy should involve its time and space dimensions where intimacy is being built in a multi-systemic, intra and interpersonal process. That is to say, intimacy is a capacity simultaneously individual and relational, developed throughout life, taking different forms, meanings and complexities according to the features and properties of relationships.Considerando todos los elementos estructurales en una relación, el concepto de intimidad parece, desde nuestra perspectiva, el más amplio, complejo y controvierto, por su vulnerabilidad conceptual (de proximidad e incluso sobreposición de conceptos) y su larga historia de cambios de significado. Desde nuestro punto de vista, la definición de intimidad debe implicar sus dimensiones espacial y temporal, en las cuales se construye la intimidad en proceso multi-sistémico, intra- e interpersonal. Es decir, la intimidad es una capacidad simultáneamente individual y relacional, desarrollada a lo largo de la vida, presentando diferentes formas, significados y complejidades de acuerdo con las características y propiedades de la relación

Evaluación de la adherencia al tratamiento antihipertensivo en pacientes de la Unidad de Salud Cocalzinho Goiás

A prevalência estimada de hipertensão, no Brasil, atualmente é de 35% da população acima de 40 anos. Em 2003, no Brasil, 37% dos óbitos foram decorrentes de doenças cardiovasculares, e a principal causa de morte foi o AVC. A hipertensão arterial não controlada é responsável por um grande ônus social e econômico à população. No SUS, as doenças cardiovasculares provocou 1.150.000 das internações/ano, com um custo aproximado de 475 milhões de reais. O presente estudo tem o objetivo de verificar o nível de adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso anti-hipertensivo e fazer uma análise situacional dos pacientes hipertensos do município de Cocalzinho de Goiás. É um estudo do tipo transversal com levantamento de dados e aplicação de questionário. O levantamento foi realizado nos meses de junho e julho de 2010, com os pacientes hipertensos cadastrados no programa Hiperdia no município de Cocalzinho de Goiás. O estudo mostrou uma prevalência do sexo feminino (69,32%), com predomínio do grupo de idade entre 61 a 70 anos (34,97%), com baixa escolaridade (67,18%), e com 56,14% de não adesão ao tratamento farmacológico. A baixa adesão está relacionada à baixa escolaridade. Existe uma carência de atendimento mais efetivo e individualizado de pacientes hipertensos, de responsabilidade da ESF. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThe estimated prevalence of hypertension in Brazil is currently 35% of the population over 40 years. Brazil is among the few countries whose first cause of death is cerebro vascular accident (CVA) and not of ischemic heart disease (CHD).
