    Que identidade e que culturas profissionais docentes?

    Full text link
    Partindo do conceito de identidade e profissionalidade docente, da construção do conhecimento profissional e das especificidades da “ação de ensinar”, esta comunicação visa refletir sobre as práticas e sobre a cultura profissional dos docentes, procurando lançar algumas hipóteses exploratórias sobre a eventual distinção entre docentes vinculados e não vinculados a associações profissionais. Se, por um lado, a heterogeneidade nas formas de trabalhar dos professores, em que a partilha e a colaboração muitas vezes se mantem adstrita aos colegas do mesmo grupo ou área disciplinar, contribui para uma cultura profissional fragmentada; por outro lado, os professores estão integrados em escolas/contextos diferentes com diferentes culturas (e subculturas), também estas diferentes (rituais, rotinas, ethos) que determinam a sua socialização profissional. Perante este quadro, e considerando “cultura” como herança social, que culturas profissionais detêm os professores? E que eventuais diferenças podem existir nas práticas profissionais de docentes tendo em conta o grupo de recrutamento e a vinculação a associações profissionais?info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    The potential dysfunction of otolith organs in patients after mumps infection

    <div><p>Objective</p><p>To investigate the relationship between mumps and the extent of hearing impairment and otolith organ damage.</p><p>Methods</p><p>A total of 27 patients with unilateral hearing impairment following mumps were enrolled. The degrees of hearing loss and otolith organ damage were confirmed by audiometric and vestibular evoked myogenic potential [VEMP] tests. All the results were compared and analyzed using Stata 13.0 software for Windows.</p><p>Results</p><p>The VEMP thresholds of the affected ears were significantly higher than those of the unaffected ears in both tests (cervical VEMP [cVEMP] test and ocular VEMP [oVEMP] test; p = 0.000 and 0.001, respectively). The mean cVEMP and oVEMP threshold values of the affected ears with hearing impairment for ≤10 years were significantly lower than those of affected ears with hearing impairment for >10 years [p = 0.009 and 0.004, respectively].</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>Deafness resulting from mumps is usually profound and permanent, which indicates severe damage to the cochlea due to the disease. The functions of otolith organs in the vestibular system are also impaired. Over time, the function of the otolith organs or their neural pathway may suffer secondary damage.</p></div
