Abstract: This study investigated if children with difficulties in writing two syllable words would learn do so through games that teach relations among written word and CRMTS, written word and figure, figure and CRMTS, written word and manuscript written word, spoken word and figure, written word and word spoken by the child. The participants were three 6 to 8 year old children. The intervention consisted of using a board game, a memory game and copying the word on a board. A dictation was initially conducted, in which 8 training words were selected among those incorrectly written by the children. After the intervention, a new dictation was conducted with 10 additional generalization words. All children, with the exception of one of them regarding the generalization words and syllables, emitted an increasing number of training words and correctly written syllables. The use of games helped to improve the children’s writing skills. Implications of these findings and the need of further investigations on this topic are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate some stigmatization effects in the narrative of children with chronic dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and vitiligo.
Abstract: Atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and vitiligo are chronic skin diseases in which prognosis, evolution, the kinds of required cares, and the visibility of the condition constitute factors that affect both the patient's and their parents´ behavior. The main difficulty faced up by the person who has one of such diseases is the fact that he/she becomes a constant target of discrimination and prejudice. This study aims to demonstrate some stigmatization effects in the narrative of children with chronic dermatoses. To this purpose, six chronic skin disease affected children, between seven and eight years old, created, individually, a text for the characters of a children's tale. The results showed that prejudice and stigmatization are present in different social contexts and there are difficulties for children as well as their family to faceupto these situations in a proper way.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a study aimed at investigating the frequency, effectiveness and the ways in which the training in social skills were used as the main treatment for individuals diagnosed as being in OCD by using a bibliografic survey.
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study aimed at investigating the frequency, effectiveness and the ways in which the training in social skills were used as the main treatment for individuals diagnosed as being in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), by using a bibliografic survey. Works published and issued by PsycINFO were selected as data resources. The criteria for the search were: (a) being written in the English language; (b) published in scientific journals; (c) and have as key words “Obsessive Compulsive Neurosis” and “Social Skills Training” (and correlated terms). Eighteen papers were selected, and only ten papers were available in article format. Although the number of researches on OCD had increased recently, only a few number of publications have examinated the social abilities as a relevant factor of treatment for OCD. None of the consulted papers had the objective of evaluating the effects of intervention in social abilities on the OCD cases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated if training using instructions and modeling would improve the interaction between mothers and their children during school homework activities, and they found that the procedure was effective only to reduce the rate of responses of the "to do for the child" category from the mother in couple 4 and, maybe, it has contributed to increase the response rate of 'to praise' category from mothers in couple 1.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate if training using instructions and modeling would improve the interaction between mothers and their children during school homework activities. Four couples of mothers and children participated in this study. The study was composed of three phases. In phase 1 mothers helped their children in the execution of school homework, in Phase 2 important concepts on how to be more effective on helping children with their school homework were taught to mothers, and in Phase 3 the intervention was removed. Results suggest that the procedure was effective only to reduce the rate of responses of the “to do for the child” category from the mother in couple 4 and, maybe, it has contributed to increase the rate of responses of the “to praise” category from the mother in couple 1. The results were compared to similar studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss therapeutic early delivery of an unviable fetus on the basis of moral premises and demonstrate the need to ensure the woman's autonomy in the event of a pregnancy with an anencephalous fetus, such that, after reflection and discussion with her peers, the decision on whether to terminate the pregnancy when faced with the diagnosis of fetal malformation must be hers alone.
Abstract: Anencephaly is a severe fetal anomaly that is incompatible with extrauterine life. This paper addresses this malformation and its consequences on the life of the pregnant woman, based on the nonexistence of potential fetal life, which makes termination of the pregnancy legally permitted. The procedure performed in this case is known as therapeutic early delivery, and should not in any way be confused with abortion. The distinctions between these two institutes are highlighted, and the issue of anencephaly is dealt with, showing its lethal nature. Likewise, this study seeks to emphasize the greater possibility of risk to the woman’s health in pregnancies of this type. Ethical issues relating to human life and the human being and person are also addressed, discussing therapeutic early delivery of an unviable fetus on the basis of moral premises. The aim is therefore to demonstrate the need to ensure the woman’s autonomy in the event of a pregnancy with an anencephalous fetus, such that, after reflection and discussion with her peers, the decision on whether to terminate the pregnancy when faced with the diagnosis of fetal malformation must be hers alone.

Abstract: Com o acelerado desenvolvimento da sociedade, as pequenas e medias empresas precisaram desenvolver mecanismos que as ajudassem no seu proprio desenvolvimento, visando a sobrevivencia no mundo competitivo. Uma das maneiras encontradas por essas empresas foi a estruturacao de aglomeracoes empresariais e industriais, voltadas ao mesmo segmento de negocio, denominada de arranjos produtivos locais. De acordo com esse panorama, surge a necessidade de se estudar e analisar a importância da criacao de uma estrutura de memoria organizacional, que possibilite o registro, a preservacao e a disseminacao do conhecimento que tem sido produzido pelos participantes do Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL) de Tecnologia de Informacao de Londrina e regiao. Como objetivo geral do trabalho, se pretendeu analisar de que maneira a memoria organizacional se constitui em espacos empresariais. Como metodos de pesquisa, foi utilizado o ‘Estudo de Caso’ e a ‘Analise de Conteudo’. Em relacao aos resultados obtidos, os participantes da pesquisa consideram importante a estruturacao de uma memoria organizacional, com vistas ao registro e preservacao da informacao e conhecimento por eles produzidos; a organizacao da informacao e do conhecimento; a informacao e conhecimento por eles demandados sao parcialmente supridos; o acesso a informacao util e de qualidade e uma das principais vantagens em se participar do APL.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a study with 100 journalists from seven different Brazilian universities to evaluate what they think about the importance of ethical reflections, how much they know about this theme and whether their academic background was enough for the ethical practice of their profession.
Abstract: We are experiencing a new communicational paradigm. Information is produced in an instantaneous way increasing the risk of breaking ethical values, which should rule over the information professionals. This present study is part of a general explanation about ethics in the press and its correlation with bioethics and philosophy. Today, more than ever, are information professionals vulnerable, as they need to work with complex and globalized themes that require reflective decision making. Nevertheless, are ethically prepared to generate journalistically responsible practices? To answer such a question, we carried out a research involving 100 journalists graduated from seven different Brazilian universities. The objective was to evaluate what they think about the importance of ethical reflections, how much they know about this theme and whether their academic background was enough for the ethical practice of their profession. The research evidenced that the lack of ethical preparation of those professionals is overlooked, by their academic formation, which has not given proper relevance to such an aspect of the profession.

TL;DR: In this paper, a relacao dinâmica e complexa entre teoria dos discursos academicos de formacao de professores and a pratica real da sala de aula.
Abstract: A Educacao Fisica Escolar promove a experimentacao, a vivencia, a compreensao e a apropriacao das manifestacoes da motricidade humana, entre elas, a Ginastica. Constatamos, por meio das publicacoes cientificas e das experiencias docentes em diferentes niveis de ensino, que o conteudo, a Ginastica, na maioria das vezes, nao e ensinado na escola. Inferimos que isso ocorre tambem em razao de limites de fundamentacao teorico-metodologica e de organizacao desses conteudos. Assim, propomos aqui apresentar resultados do projeto A organizacao do conhecimento da Ginastica na escola . A orientacao metodologica recaiu sobre a pesquisa-acao, o que nos possibilitou a constatacao da realidade, a intervencao pedagogica e a selecao de conteudos. Como desfecho, temos uma relacao dinâmica e complexa entre teoria dos discursos academicos de formacao de professores e a pratica real da sala de aula. http://dx.doi.org/10.14572/nuances.v27i1.3992
