    Comprehending the choice of romantic partner is important in order to minimize possible problems stemming from conflictive loving relationships. This study aimed to identify to what extent the preference for desirable attributes in an ideal partner vary according to the respondent’s gender and place of residence. A total of 3,124 people from capital cities (n = 1,583) or towns (n = 1,541) of the nine states of the Brazilian Northeast region participated in the study, with a mean age of 23.6 years (sd = 6.72) and 63.6% female. They answered the Desirable Attributes of the Ideal Partner Scale and demographic questions. Results (Manova) indicated differences in the desirable attributes in an ideal partner according to gender: the men gave greater importance to the athletic dimension, while the women scored higher in the accomplished dimension. An effect was also observed related to the place of residence, with the men living in towns presenting a higher mean score in the traditional dimension, whereas the women residing in this locality gave more importance to the athletic dimension. In conclusion, the place of residence and, above all, the gender were important in explaining the variations in preferences for attributes in an ideal partner, in agreement with the literature

    This article presents the history and construction of the National Health Survey (PNS) 2019, a household survey conducted in partnership with the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The objective was to provide the country with information on the determinants, conditions and health needs of the Brazilian population. The expected sample was 108,525 households, considering a non-response rate of 20%. The questionnaire had three parts: (i) regarding the household; (ii) to all residents of the household, focusing on the collection of socioeconomic and health information; and (iii) aimed at the selected resident (15 years or more) for whom lifestyles, chronic diseases, violence, among other topics were investigated, and anthropometric measures (sub-sample) were measured. The PNS information will serve as a basis for the (re)formulation of health policies, as well as support for existing actions and programs of the Unified Health System.Este artigo apresenta o histórico e a construção da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) 2019, inquérito de base domiciliar realizado em parceria com a fundação Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. O objetivo da PNS 2019 foi dotar o país de informações sobre os determinantes, condicionantes e necessidades de saúde da população brasileira. A amostra prevista foi de 108.525 domicílios particulares, considerando-se uma taxa de não resposta de 20%. Seu questionário continha três partes, orientadas para (i) o domicílio, (ii) todos os moradores do domicílio, com enfoque na coleta de informações socioeconômicas e de saúde, e (iii) o morador selecionado (idade ≥15 anos), sobre o qual investigou-se estilos de vida, doenças crônicas, violências, entre outros temas, e aferiu-se medidas antropométricas (subamostra). As informações da PNS 2019 servirão de base para a (re)formulação de políticas de saúde e subsídio a ações e programas existentes do Sistema Único de Saúde

    Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    As interações de crianças cegas têm sido objeto de crescente interesse nas últimas décadas. Diante disso, os objetivos desse estudo, propostos em classes inclusivas da Educação Infantil, foram: caracterizar a interação social de crianças cegas que receberam ou não estimulação constante e especializada; e caracterizar a interação social de crianças cegas e videntes. Participaram duas crianças cegas com aproximadamente cinco anos e seus colegas de sala regular. Foram organizadas situações em que as crianças pudessem brincar, e seus desempenhos foram videogravados. Foi adotado um sistema de classificação que permitiu a análise comparativa das interações dos participantes e utilizado o SPSS-WIN (13.0) para realizar as análises estatísticas. Foram encontradas semelhanças e diferenças significativas ao comparar as características das interações das crianças cegas com as das videntes. Foi possível verificar que, havendo estimulação constante e especializada, a criança cega apresenta comportamentos semelhantes aos de uma criança vidente no ambiente escolar

    El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar posibles diferencias y semejanzas en rela - ción a las habilidades sociales y al bienestar subjetivo, asociadas a los dominios de dotación (inteligencia general, creatividad, socio-afectivo y sensorio-motriz). Parti - ciparon 269 niños dotados y talentosos, de ambos sexos, entre los ocho y los doce años de edad. Los participantes respondieron al Sistema de Evaluación de Habilida - des Sociales (SSRS-BR), a la Escala Multidimensional de Satisfacción de Vida para Niños y a la Escala de Afecto Positivo y Negativo para Niños. Se verificaron diferen - cias en algunas clases de habilidades sociales y en algunos indicadores de bienestar subjetivo, para los dominios socio-afectivo y sensorio-motrices, y subdominios verbal y matemático, y este último subdominio es el que presentó mayores diferencias. Los resultados alcanzados traen algunas contribuciones el área, una vez que no fueron encontradas investigaciones comparando niños dotados en diferentes dominios en lo que se refiere a las diferentes variables de este estudio

    O presente artigo tem os seguintes objetivos: (a) analisar o repertório de habilidades sociais e a inclusão escolar de uma criança cega; (b) caracterizar o repertório de habilidades sociais dessa criança; (c) caracterizar a interação social da criança cega no contexto da educação inclusiva. Para atender a esses objetivos foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa de delineamento descritivo, através de multimétodos, com estudo de caso com uma criança com cegueira total, de 11 anos de idade, aluna de uma escola regular do sistema público de ensino. Foram realizados registros em vídeo da interação social da criança cega no contexto escolar. Os pais e professores responderam ao inventário SSRS-BR², utilizado para caracterização do repertório de habilidades sociais da criança. Os resultados obtidos apontaram que a criança apresentou um repertório de habilidades sociais médio inferior, com os menores escores relacionados às habilidades de desenvoltura social, assertividade, cooperação e afetividade. Responsabilidade foi a classe de habilidade social mais desenvolvida. Verificou-se que a criança interagia com maior frequência com as professoras e com os colegas da sala de recursos e recusava as iniciativas de interação das crianças videntes. A criança apresentou déficits em algumas classes de habilidades sociais, o que possivelmente interferiu na sua relação com os colegas e consequentemente no processo de inclusão. Nesse sentido é importante que estudos mais aprofundados sejam desenvolvidos com crianças deficientes visuais para que se ampliem a formulação de práticas pedagógicas, que possam estimular o desenvolvimento de habilidades sociais e a promoção de interações sociais satisfatórias no contexto escolar
