Abstract Fire ants (Solenopsis spp.) have increasingly been reported from carrion in the southeastern United States and are now a part of the normal succession community. There have been previous observations of these ants altering carrion and preying on other carrion-attendant fauna; however, the overall effects of these activities on carrion decomposition rates, community composition, and blow fly larval development are poorly understood. Alteration of these ecological processes by fire ants could affect the forensic interpretation of entomological data. We conducted a study in Mississippi and Florida whereby portions of the succession fauna were excluded from access to pig carrion to study the relative effects of fire ants and blow flies on carrion decomposition and succession: a control with all fauna having access, a second treatment where fire ants and other geophilic taxa were excluded, and a third treatment in which blow flies and other large organisms were excluded. Fire ants inflicted lesions in the carrion, buried portions that touched the ground, and preyed on some members of the succession fauna. Their exclusion did not affect carrion decomposition rates that were measured but slightly affected the overall carrion community, and strongly affected the oviposition and development of blow flies. Despite the presence of fire ants early in the control, blow flies were eventually able to overcome predation of eggs and larvae, continue colonization, and complete development; however, the delay in the colonization of blow flies on carrion could affect the determination of postmortem intervals when development rates of blow flies are considered in the calculation.

Association of mealybug, Dysmicoccus brevipes (Ckll.) (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) and fire ant, Solenopsis sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on two pineapple–planting patterns. A pineapple mealybug, Dysmicoccus brevipes (Ckll.) (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) is an important insect pest in major pineapple growing areas. Its feeding activity causes damage on the pineapple plants and it can also transmit pineapple wilt virus. The mealybugs are often found in association with fire ants, Solenopsis sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) that provide protection in exchange for the sweet honeydew liquid. The field study was conducted to determine the close association between mealybugs and fire ants on two plant row spacing (single and double row spacing) four different plant stages (3, 7, 11, and 17 months after planting). The results indicated that there was a significant correlation between the mealybugs and the fire ant on two pineapple-planting patterns, particularly on late growth periods (11, and 17 months after planting). In this field study, population of mealybugs on double row spacing were more abundant (ranging from 0 to 25.67 bugs/plant) compared with that on single row spacing which ranged 0 to 3.67 bugs/plant. Moreover, general mean of population density of mealybugs (14.53 bugs/plant) on double row was significantly higher than that on single row spacing (1.83 bugs/plant). In line with this mealybug-population development, mean numbers of fire ants caught on baited-sticky traps were ranged from 0 to 8.53 ants/trap on single row versus 0 to 23.57 ants/trap on double row spacing pattern. The general mean number of captured ants (12.73 ants/trap) on double row was significantly higher compared with that on single row spacing (5.55 ants/trap). It appears that the patterns of population densities of mealybugs are closely related to that of fire ants that act as attendant species on two pineapple row spacing.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPopulation densities of honeydew-producing Homoptera were assessed on mature upper-Amazon cocoa (Theobroma cacao) (Sterculiaceae) trees with combinations of the ants Crematogaster clariventris Mayr, Pheidole megacephala (Fabricius) and Tetramorium aculeatum (Mayr). Interactions were found between combinations of the three ant species and the abundance of Homoptera attended for honeydew. Crematogaster clariventris primarily attended Stictococcus sjostedti Cockerell (Stictococcidae), and less frequently Waxiella sp. nr zonata (Newstead) (Coccidae). Pheidole megacephala attended mealybugs, mainly Planococcoides njalensis (Laing), and Planococcus citri (Risso) (both Pseudococcidae). Tetramorium aculeatum was negatively associated with honeydew-producing Homoptera only when it was the sole dominant ant. Where T. aculeatum co-existed with either one, or both, of the other ant species, it had little influence on the abundance of the honeydew-producing Homoptera they attended, including the mealybug vectors of cocoa swollen shoot virus. Ant-attended Homoptera were more numerous on trees solely dominated by their attendant ants than on trees where two or all three ant species co-occurred. By contrast, the non-ant-attended psyllid Mesohomotoma tessmanni (Aulmann) was least common on trees with a single dominant ant species, and was most abundant on trees foraged by all three ant species.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTEight species of Myzolecanium Beccari (Hemiptera: Homoptera: Coccoidea: Coccidae) are reported from ant nests in stem cavities of living lowland rain forest trees in Papua New Guinea. The coccids are confined to this microhabitat but are associated with a taxonomically broad range of ants and host trees. Attendant ants belonged to six species in three genera and two subfamilies: Anonychomyrma Donisthorpe (Dolichoderinae), Crematogaster Lund (Myrmicinae) and Podomyrma F. Smith (Myrmicinae). Host plants belonged to at least five families and included both apparently specialized (with domatia) and unspecialized species. Saplings containing the nests of Anonychomyrma scrutator (F. Smith), Anonychomyrma sp. 1 and Podomyrma laevifrons F. Smith were dissected and the structure of nest chambers and their contents recorded. Only some chambers had entrance holes, but many were interconnected by transverse passages. The coccids were in low numbers and fairly evenly distributed between ant-occupied chambers. The characteristics of the Myzolecanium-ant association, the role of the coccids as trophobionts, and the nature of the plant associations are discussed. Taxonomically, new combinations are proposed by P. J. Gullan for three species previously placed in Cryptostigma Ferris: Myzolecanium endoeucalyptus (Qin & Gullan), M. magnetinsulae (Qin & Gullan), and M. robertsi (Williams & Watson).

Full textAbstract:
The taxonomy and composition of the California ant fauna is reviewed, leading to the recognition of 281 species (in 44 genera), of which 255 are considered indigenous and 39 are endemic. Species-level endemism (13.9%) is higher than in adjacent regions, as is the percentage of non-native species (9.3%). About one quarter of the indigenous ant species are endemic to the California floristic province (sensu Hickman 1993). Approximately 36 species appear to be undescribed. Most of these undescribed species are assigned code names, which match those used on the “Ants of California” web site (http://www.antweb.org/california.jsp). One new species is described, Camponotus maritimus Ward, sp. nov., which corresponds to the taxon previously called Camponotus maculatus subsp. vicinus var. maritimus Wheeler (unavailable quadrinomen). Three species names are revalidated: Leptothorax calderoni Creighton stat. reval., stat. nov., Myrmica glacialis Emerystat. reval., stat. nov., and Temnothorax rudis (Wheeler) stat. reval., comb. nov. The following new synonymy is proposed (senior synonym listed first): Forelius pruinosus (Roger) = F. analis (André); Monomorium ergatogyna Wheeler = M. wheelerorum DuBois; Temnothorax andrei (Emery) = T. nitens heathii (Wheeler) = T. nitens occidentalis (Wheeler) = T. ocellatus (MacKay); Temnothorax nevadensis (Wheeler) = T. lindae (MacKay) = T. maryanae (MacKay); Temnothorax nitens (Emery) = T. mariposa (Wheeler) = T. melinus (MacKay). The genus Acanthomyops Mayr is demoted to subgenus (stat. rev.) within Lasius Fabricius, in accord with recent molecular phylogenetic results. A key to the ant genera of California (based on the worker caste), a synopsis of each genus, a comprehensive bibliography, and a species list are also provided.Keywords. ant taxonomy, distribution, biogeography, endemism, Camponotus, Lasius, Forelius, Monomorium, Myrmica, Leptothorax, TemnothoraxLike other components of the California biota, the ant fauna of this state shows considerable biological diversity and regional endemism. Yet there has been no comprehensive systematic treatment of the ants of California, much less a reliable checklist or a set of identification keys. Part of this stems from the complexity of the fauna and an attendant rash of taxonomic problems whose resolution requires additional study at a larger geographical scale. In light of these constraints, the present paper aims to provide no more than a cursory survey of the ant genera, a provisional list of species, and a guide to the literature. A few necessary taxonomic changes are introduced, mostly involving new synonymy at the species level. A prime motivation for this paper stems from the need to establish a reference checklist for a new web site illustrating the ants of California (http:// www.antweb.org/california.jsp). This web site, developed in collaboration with Brian Fisher (California Academy of Sciences), is designed to facilitate identification by providing high-quality digital images of the known California ant species. The first descriptions of California ants appeared in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, in widely scattered taxonomic papers by Buckley, Emery, Forel, Mayr, W. M. Wheeler and others. Mallis (1941) and Cook (1953) published a species list and a booklength treatment, respectively, of the ants of California but both of these are out-of-date and error-ridden. Revisionary studies on specific groups of ants, carried out within the last 60 years and usually at a continent-wide scale, have had a more salutary effect on our knowledge of the California ant fauna. This includes taxonomic contributions by Bolton (1979), Brown (1950d, 1953g), Buren (1968b), Cole (1968), Creighton (1950a), Francoeur (1973), Gregg (1959, 1969b), Mackay (2000), Snelling (1970, 1973c, 1976, 1982a, 1982b, 1988, 1995a), Trager (1984b, 1991), Ward (1985b, 1999), Watkins (1976, 1985), Wilson (1955a, 2003) and Wing (1968a). Among the more useful publications for those seeking information about the ants of California are the regional treatments of the ants of Deep Canyon, Riverside County (Wheeler & Wheeler 1973e), the California deserts

Full textAbstract:
The butterfly family Lycaenidae (including the Riodinidae) contains an estimated 30% of all butterfly species and exhibits a diverse array of life history strategies. The early stages of most lycaenids associate with ants to varying degrees, ranging from casual facultative coexistence through to obligate association where the long-term survival of the butterfly is dependent on the presence of its attendant ants. Attendant ants guard the butterflies against predators and parasites during their vulnerable period of larval growth and pupation. The caterpillars, in return, reward the ants by providing attractive secretions from specialized glands in their cuticle. The prevalence of caterpillar-ant associations in the species rich Lycaenidae is in contrast with other Lepidoptera, where ant association appears only as isolated cases in otherwise non ant-associated lineages. This has led to the proposal that ant association may have influenced lycaenid diversification or even enhanced the rates of speciation in the group. In contrast, facultative ant-associated butterflies exhibit high levels of host plant integrity, so it is reasonable to assume that host plants may have played a significant role in their diversification. Since the influence of ants (or plants) on diversification is independent of geographic speciation modes such as vicariance or peripheral isolates, there is an underlying inference of sympatric speciation. Certain prerequisites thought to be important for sympatric speciation, such as mating on the host plant (or in the presence of the appropriate ant) as well as ant dependent oviposition preferences are characteristic of many obligate myrmecophiles. Not surprisingly, it has been suggested that evidence for sympatric speciation is more likely to be found in the Insecta since this additional mode of diversification could account for the large numbers of insect species. This thesis tested the diversification processes in obligate and facultative ant associated lycaenids using comparative methodologies in hierarchical molecular phylogenetic analyses. First, several hypotheses relating to the influence of ants on diversification in obligately ant associated lycaenid butterflies were tested in a phylogeographic analysis of the Australian endemic Jalmenus evagoras. The phylogeographic analysis revealed that regional isolation of butterfly subpopulations coincident with locally adapted ant taxa could generate a phylogenetic pattern in which related lycaenids would be seen to associate with related or ecologically similar ants. Likewise, ecological shifts in habitat preferences by lycaenids could lead to co-diversification with habitat specialist ants, even though in both cases, the ants may play only an incidental role in the diversification process. A comparative methodology was then applied in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the genus Jalmenus to test for a signal of diversification consistent with shifts in ant partners, and to infer the processes by which ants could influence speciation. Several other specific hypotheses relating to monophyly and taxonomy were also examined. Comparative analysis of the Jalmenus phylogeny found that attendant ant shifts coincided with high levels of sympatry among sister species. This pattern could be explained by sympatric speciation; however, data suggested it was more likely that ant shifts occurred during butterfly population expansions as a result of vegetation and climate changes in the Pleistocene. Fragmentation of populations associating with novel ants could promote rapid ecological and behavioural changes and this could result in reproductive isolation of conspecifics when in secondary contact. Diversification would then continue in sympatry. In contrast, secondary contact of populations associating with the same ant species would result in homogenisation of the two lycaenid lineages or the extinction of one. A phylogeographic analysis of the facultative myrmecophiles, Theclinesthes albocincta/T. hesperia, was then undertaken to infer the evolutionary processes (such as the effects of host plant shifts) that could result in extant demographics. Species-specific questions of taxonomy, relative population ages and dispersal routes in arid Australia were also addressed. Results from the analysis suggested the two taxa were conspecific and had diversified in the late Pleistocene as a consequence of isolation in refugia in and around the arid areas of mainland Australia. However, as was the case in the J. evagoras population analysis in which attendant ant shifts were not detected, host plant shifts were not detected in the population analysis of T. albocincta/hesperia. Host plant or attendant ant shifts manifest more frequently at the species level, thus it was necessary to test the influence of host plant shifts at this higher level. The comparative methodology was then applied to a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the facultative ant-associated section Theclinesthes (comprising Theclinesthes, Sahulana and Neolucia) to test for modes of diversification consistent with host plant shifts. The relative importance of other influences on diversification was also assessed. Akin to the Jalmenus analysis, the prediction that sister species ranges should broadly overlap when a shift in host plants had taken place was upheld in the comparative analysis. Species in the genera Jalmenus and Theclinesthes were found to have diversified in the Pleistocene so were subject to the same climatic oscillations that influenced patterns of vegetation expansion and contraction across much of Australia. Thus, the similarity and predictability of relationships in the comparative analyses based on biological data suggested that host plant shifts have influenced diversification in facultative myrmecophiles by inhibiting gene flow in secondary contact in similar fashion to that of attendant ant shifts identified in the Jalmenus phylogeny. Interpretation of data in these analyses suggested that allopatric diversification was the most common mode of speciation. Isolation was inferred to be the result of fragmentation following long distance dispersal across wide expanses of marginal habitat, or vicariance following the closing of biogeographical barriers. However, attendant-ant and host-plant shifts clearly played an important role in the diversification process, and in the maintenance of species integrity among lycaenid butterflies. Furthermore, exceptions to the predicted patterns of range overlap and ecological shifts provided clues to additional modes of diversification including shifts in habitat preferences and an unusual temporal shift following changes in specific host plant phenology resulting in allochronic diversification. Inferring modes of diversification using comparative methods based on range overlap and biological traits in a phylogenetic context is not new; however, the interpretation presented in this thesis is in contrast with contemporary methods. It is clear that the patterns of species range overlap and the ecological preferences of sister taxa are intimately related among lycaenid species that diversified during the Pleistocene. As a result, different influences on diversification can be highlighted in phylogenies when applying existing comparative methodologies but without necessarily drawing the same conclusions about modes of diversification. A more inclusive explanation for patterns of range overlap among sister taxa is detailed, a consequence of which is a method for estimating rates of extinction in a phylogeny where comprehensive distributional, biological and taxonomic data are available. These patterns and predictions may be applicable to a range of taxa, especially those that have diversified in the Pleistocene. Plans for future studies are outlined.

Full textAbstract:
The retention of persons on an HIV programme has been a global challenge. The success of any strategy to optimize adherence to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) depends on the intensive and effective adherence counselling and strategies. It is important to research whether persons receiving anti-retroviral therapy in public hospitals in Ghana are receiving the needed service that would optimize their adherence to the anti-retroviral therapy. Therefore, this study explored and described the experiences of healthcare professionals providing care, support and guidance to persons on ART at public hospitals in Ghana, as well as the best-practice guideline that could contribute to facilitating the ART adherence of patients. This study also explored and described the experiences of persons living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) on ART, regarding their adherence to the therapy. The study was organized into three phases. In Phase One: a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was employed. The research population included healthcare professionals, providing services at the HIV clinic at the public hospitals in Ghana, namely the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital; the 37 Military Hospital and the Ridge Hospital. The healthcare professionals comprised of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and trained counsellors employed in any of the three public hospitals. Persons receiving ART at any of the three public hospitals were also part of the research population. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals and persons receiving ART. Data were collected from healthcare professionals in relation to their experiences regarding the provision of ART services, their understanding of evidence-based practice and best-practice guidelines, as well as data on the experiences of persons receiving ART in relation to their adherence to the therapy. The data were analysed using Creswell’s six steps of data analysis; and the coding of the data was done according to Tesch’s eight steps of coding. Trustworthiness was ensured by using Lincoln and Guba’s framework which comprised credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability and authenticity. Ethical principles such as beneficence and non-maleficence, respect for human dignity, justice, veracity, privacy and confidentiality were considered in the study. In phase two, the literature was searched by using an integrative literature review approach and critically appraising the methodological quality of the guidelines in order to identify the best available evidence related to adherence to ART. In Phase Three, a best-practice guideline for facilitating adherence to ART was developed for public hospitals in Ghana based on the findings of the empirical research of Phase One and the integrative literature review in Phase Two. The guideline was submitted to an expert panel for review; and it was modified, according to the recommendations of the panel.

A partir de 2007, o Projeto de Atendimento em Plantão Psicológico do Laboratório de Estudos em Fenomenologia Existencial e Prática em Psicologia (LEFE-PSA/IPUSP) disponibilizou estágio a estudantes a partir do segundo ano do curso. Esta investigação buscou conhecer a experiência de quatro plantonistas que iniciaram o seu primeiro estágio de atendimento em plantão no terceiro semestre do curso. Entrevistas individuais foram realizadas, de modo a constituírem relatos sobre este momento de formação. Como percurso metodológico, buscou-se inspiração na fenomenologia hermenêutica e na analítica do sentido como via para explicitação de saberes e impasses que surgiram nas narrativas colhidas sobre plantão. Por um lado, os relatos revelaram como o plantão se organizou para cuidar deste estudante: o atendimento era realizado com psicólogos e colegas dos últimos semestres, sendo supervisionados em grupo, além de haver aulas sobre fenomenologia existencial e aconselhamento psicológico. Por outro lado, o projeto mostrou como cada estagiário, a partir de seus questionamentos, conduziu-se de modo singular ao longo de pelo menos um ano de estágio, outro requisito para ser entrevistado. Neste sentido, evidenciou-se que o plantão contempla múltiplos dizeres e posicionamentos dos estudantes como possibilidade de propiciar um aprender pela experiência (ação). Em busca de descobrirem-se psicólogos, os estagiários disseram dos desafios e impasses encontrados neste modo de aprender, remetendo-os à crise de identidade profissional, à perspectiva fenomenológica existencial e também às limitações da própria instituição no qual este projeto de extensão ocorre. Convocados pela atenção psicológica dos supervisores, os saberes dos plantonistas mostraram-se incorporados em seu agir, sendo difícil falar sobre, mas surgindo nas reflexões sobre situações de atendimento, conversas e supervisões contadas. Neste sentido a formação surgiu como formar-ação, pela aprendizagem significativa como via privilegiada de constituição do saber de ofício do psicólogo. Assim, a investigação destacou a relevância deste estágio ocorrer nos semestres inicias pelo modo como estagiários apresentaram uma compreensão pertinente de plantão nesta perspectiva. Por essa via, manifesta-se a urgência da clínica-escola contemplar projetos de estágio que, simultaneamente, diferenciem-se dos tradicionais treinamento, observação e aplicação de técnicas, contemplando serviços que atenção às demandas da clientela, em sua amplitudeSince 2007, the project of Psychological Attendance, from the Phenomenological Existential Studies and Practice in Psychology Laboratory (LEFE-PSA-IPUSP), initiated such a practicum to students from the second year of the Psychology Course. The present investigation intended to explore and comprehend how four of those students experienced such practicum. Individual interviews were taken in order to obtain oral testimonies about that moment in their graduation formation. The methodological path was based on proposals of the hermeneutic phenomenology and the analytics of sense as a way to present knowledge and difficulties discovered according to the students narratives about Psychological Attendance. By one hand, they revealed how that practicum is organized to take care of the student: to be with a client, the freshmen students were accompanied by colleagues from final semesters or by psychologists and supervision happened in group, besides attending counselling psychology and existential phenomenology classes. On the other hand, the project showed itself as singular for one year, allowing the students narrative for this investigation. It was possible to comprehend how the psychological attendance opened to the participants many possibilities to learn through experience, by learning in action: they expressed challenges and difficulties in this path, mainly emphasizing the professional crisis identity, the existential phenomenological perspective and the limits of the educational institution for such extension project. At the same time, by the supervisors careful psychological attention, the students referred how they incorporated such knowledge in their acting by their reflexions about the experiences at the supervisions as well as with clients. It revealed the possibility of significative learning in action as pertinent to comprehend the meaning of psychologists attention, even when the practicum occurs for Psychology freshmen students. They expressed how the psychological attendance experience in such perspective is important by allowing them to know about the psychological action. Therefore, this investigation points to the urgency to changes in the curriculum of Psychology courses in order to contemplate projects that open new possibilities to the traditional practicum, directing them to the real students and clients actual needs

This work is linked to the strict sensu Education Postgraduate Program, Master Level / PPGE, Concentration Area "Society, State and Education" Search Line "Teacher Training and Teaching and Learning Process” and the Research Group on Education and Teacher Training (GPEFOR). Its object of analysis is the program "Stay with me"(2005, 2009), recently renamed "the School Dropout Combat Program," (2013), implemented in the State of Paraná to combat cases of neglect and evasion, with the following problem: What are the possible intentions to be seized in the discourse on school permanence in the programs "FICA" and "the School Dropout Combat" of Paraná? Aiming to meet and respond to the presented problem, we used the indirect research - literature and documents, which general objective was based on analyzing the relationship between Programs and school permanence, whereby the main objectives were present the laws that deal with assiduity, permanence and compulsory education; analyze the speech put in Program Guidelines Notebooks; verify whether the measures adopted with truant students are effective in the fight against abandonment and avoidance by means of data collected; and discuss the issue of successfully staying tied to the school learning. For documentary research, we visited ten schools belonging to the Regional Center of Laranjeiras do Sul - PR in order to collect data from infrequent students in the years 2012, 2013 and 2014, which allowed us to understand the relationship of the proposed measures the Program with the permanence of these students. The analysis of data collected under the highlighted considerations of the chosen theoretical framework: Bakhtin (2014), Mészáros (2008, 2011), Vigotski (1930, 1984, 2000, 2014), Saviani (2009, 2013), Duarte (1999, 2001, 2007, 2008), Faleiros (2009), Frigotto (1989, 2002), Kuenzer (1992), Martins (2009, 2013), Shiroma (2002, 2005, 2011), among others, allowed us to highlight, among several findings, the limitations of the program and school permanence; to remain successful is to have the appropriation of scientific knowledge in its fullest forms; that it is necessary to reduce pedagogical bureaucracy functions and take the responsibility of the welfare functions of the school, who end up shifting its primary social role, which is the act intentionally so that there is learning of scientific knowledge produced by mankind.

O seu objeto de análise é o Programa “Fica comigo” (2005, 2009) recentemente renomeado “Programa de Combate ao Abandono Escolar” (2013), implementado no Estado do Paraná para combater os casos de abandono e evasão, com o seguinte problema: Quais as intencionalidades possíveis de serem apreendidas no discurso sobre permanência escolar nos Programas “FICA” e “Combate ao Abandono Escolar” do Estado do Paraná? Na busca de atender e responder à problemática apresentada, utilizamos da pesquisa indireta – bibliográfica e documental, cujo objetivo geral baseou-se em analisar as relações existentes entre os Programas e a permanência escolar, por meio do qual os objetivos específicos pautaram-se em apresentar as leis que tratam sobre frequência, permanência e obrigatoriedade escolar; analisar o discurso posto nos Cadernos de Orientações do Programa; verificar se as medidas adotadas com alunos infrequentes são eficazes no combate ao abandono e evasão por meio de dados coletados; e problematizar a questão da permanência com sucesso atrelada à aprendizagem escolar. Para a pesquisa documental, visitamos dez escolas pertencentes ao Núcleo Regional de Educação de Laranjeiras do Sul – PR, a fim de coletar dados dos alunos infrequentes nos anos de 2012, 2013 e 2014, que nos permitissem perceber a relação das medidas propostas pelo Programa com a permanência desses alunos. A análise dos dados coletados sob as destacadas considerações dos referenciais teóricos eleitos: Bakhtin (2014), Mészáros (2008, 2011), Vigotski (1930, 1984, 2000, 2014), Saviani (2009, 2013), Duarte (1999, 2001, 2007, 2008), Faleiros (2009), Frigotto (1989, 2002), Kuenzer (1992), Martins (2009, 2013), Shiroma (2002, 2005, 2011), entre outros, permitiram evidenciar, entre diversas constatações, as limitações existentes entre o Programa e a permanência escolar; que permanecer com sucesso é ter a apropriação dos conhecimentos científicos em suas formas mais plenas; que se faz necessário desburocratizar as funções pedagógicas e tirar a responsabilidade das funções assistencialistas da escola, que acabam deslocando o seu papel social precípuo, que consiste no agir intencionalmente para que haja aprendizagem dos conhecimentos científicos elaborados pela humanidade

Full textAbstract:
Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health)The prevalence of diabetes in Africa has been on the increase. A prevalence of 1%- 10% has been reported by different authors in different regions in Nigeria. The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 1.9% of Nigerians are diabetic and most of them have complications at the time of diagnosis. Laboratory measurement of Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the method of choice for monitoring glycaemic control but due to its cost and limited availability, most developing countries use fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurement (which is less reliable) to assess glycaemic control. Most diabetic patients in Nigeria have poor glycaemic control and several factors have been implicated especially socio-economic, behavioral and treatment-related factors. Understanding the reasons for poor glycaemic control is essential in order to reduce the rate of diabetes complications.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There have been new infections of HIV despite campaigns aimed at arresting the further spread of the epidemic particularly the new infections. This study sought to investigate whether HIV positive individuals disclose their status to their sexual partners. The study looked at both longtime partners and casual partners. The overall aim was to find the factors that contribute to non-disclosure or to disclosure to sexual partners by HIV positive individuals. The specific objectives were to identify prevailing levels of HIV sero-status disclosure among people living with HIV who were attending the ARV clinic; to identify people living with HIV’s attitude towards HIV status disclosure; to establish factors contributing to disclosure or non-disclosure among people living with HIV; to establish if there is a difference between disclosure rates between ‘long time’ sex partners and casual/’once-off’ sex partners and to provide guidelines to counsellors on how to educate HIV positive people on disclosure. The objectives were achieved by using a quantitative research design through the use of questionnaires targeting 50 HIV positive individuals attending the ARV clinic at Katutura Hospital in Windhoek Namibia. The questionnaire was self-administered and consisted of close-ended questions and one open-ended question which helped collect the quantitative data. The quantitative data was then analyzed using statistical tools (graphs, tables and charts). Results showed that HIV positive individuals are aware of the importance of disclosure. The results showed that majority of the participants did not disclose for fear of abandonment. Some did not disclose because they thought that their partner was also already infected. As for casual sex partners, some did not disclose because they wanted ‘to infect someone since they were also infected by someone’. Some said that they were drunk and hence did not disclose. Participants disclosed because they wanted moral support, they did not want to infect their partners and that they wanted their partners to get tested as well. One of the recommendations was that there is a need to encourage couple counselling in cases of married couples or ‘live-in’ couples to reduce the need for disclosure. It was also recommended that HIV/AIDS health workers need special training to enhance their skills on how to educate HIV positive individuals about disclosure. The link between risky sexual behavior and alcohol abuse was highlighted and it was recommended that there is a need to educate people, particular teenagers, the link between the two.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was die bepaling van die mate waartoe persone wat MIV-positief is en klinieke bywoon hulle MIV-status bekendmaak. Die studie is by die Katutura hospitaal in Windhoek, Namibië gedoen en 50 MIV-positiewe pasiënte is as steekproef gebruik. ‘n Vraelys wat die pasiënte self ingevul het is in die studie gebruik en data is op ‘n beskrywende wyse ontleed. Resultate het aangetoon dat MIV-positiewe pasiënte wel bewus is van die belangrikheid om hulle MIV-status bekend te maak. Laasgenoemde pasiënte doen dit egter nie, hoofsaaklik uit vrees vir stigma, diskriminasie en verwerping. Sommige pasiënte maak ook nie hulle status bekend nie omdat hulle bloot aanvaar dat die persoon met wie hulle saambly ook MIV-positief is en die bekendmaking van status dus onbelangrik is. Een van die belangrikste aanbevelings wat in die studie gemaak word is dat getroude paartjies aangemoedig moet word om MIV-voorligting by te woon, hulle te laat toets en hulle status bekend te maak. Dit word ook verder aanbeveel dat MIV/Vigs-gesondheidswerkers spesiale opleiding moet kry in hoe om persone wat MIV-positief is te oorreed om hulle MIV-status bekend te maak. Die studie sluit af deur te wys op die belangrike verwantskap tussen seksuele risikogedrag en die misbruik van alkohol. Daar word sterk gepleit dat die gemeenskap, en veral tienderjariges, bewus gemaak moet word van hierdie gevaar.

This study utilised secondary data from a larger study that looked at individuals that are already infected by HIV which is entitled Implicative personal dilemmas and cognitive conflicts in health decision making in HIV positive adults and adults with AIDS. The primary aim of the larger study was to examine the cognitive construction of the individual and how they utilised their individual resources to construct who they are and how they perceived the difficulties and challenges that they face and the decisions they make regarding their health. HIV and AIDS is a debilitating disease and it affects millions worldwide. South Africa, presently, has the largest burden of this disease with those between the ages of 15 &ndash
49 years of age being most affected. As previously
mentioned the decisions that individuals make can impact on their health. Decisions to take necessary precautions such as protected sex during sexual intercourse can decrease the
progression of the disease. Decisions made regarding abstinence of risky behaviour as well as being committed to taking medication could also positively impact health. People living with HIV and AIDS find it
difficult to adjust to the challenges that this disease presents. Depression is often experienced due to the changes in self image and perception. Studies show that
females are twice more likely to experience depression than men. There has however been no conclusive evidence showing the reason for this, however, the perception of stress based on
gender could shed some light on this matter and how these perceptions can increase the likelihood of women being more vulnerable to depression. Due to the limitation of this study, it will
only look at depression as it relates to HIV and AIDS. Psychological problems such as depression can hamper the adjustment process and the effect of depression is evident in that it can lower the CD 4 + cells. Not only are those
living with HIV and AIDS affected by depression, but they also have a lifetime prevalence to depression. It is important to have an effective screening tool for depression so that the detection of this
disease can be made and effective treatment can be implemented to enhance health. The sample consisted of 113 adult participants that have already been diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. The
primary aim of this study was to compare the Beck&rsquo
s Depression Inventory II (BDI II) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale &ndash
(the Depression component) (HADS-D) as a screening tool
for depression. Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed a 5 factor structure which accounted for 60.14 % of the total variance. The HADS yielded one factor accounting for 14.33% of total variance. The BDI II has proven to be more a reliable measure of depression with 0.89 according to the Cronbach&rsquo
s Alpha co efficient opposed to 0.375 as per the HADS-D. The secondary aim was to establish
the sociodemographic and disease profiles of the participants under study.

A presente dissertação aborda a participação das entidades religiosas na política pública destinada a infância e adolescência em Juiz de Fora no período posterior ao Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Trata-se de compreender os desafios que se colocam na atualidade em relação à implementação do Estatuto num cenário em que muita experiência com a tradição conservadora do assistencialismo, do paternalismo e do clientelismo ainda permanece como mecanismo para o enfrentamento da questão social. Além disso, as mudanças do Estado na condução das políticas sociais têm recolocado na agenda a relevância das ações filantrópicas e revalorizado a atuação religiosa neste campo. A intervenção deste tipo de instituição na área social em nosso país não é recente, pelo contrário, marcou a origem do atendimento neste campo atuando pelo viés da caridade, da benemerência, do “amor ao próximo”. No entanto, a existência de experiências locais de inserção de grupos religiosos nas ações sociais de enfrentamento a pobreza contrasta com o que efetivamente sabemos sobre eles, suas práticas e contribuição efetiva. Este trabalho buscou analisar a relação das entidades religiosas com a política de atendimento destinada a crianças e adolescentes no município através da adequação das mesmas aos princípios e diretrizes desta política, em consonância ao Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, e também da relação estabelecida com o Conselho Municipal dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente – CMDCA/JF, com o Poder Público Municipal no seu órgão gestor e “executor”, e com o próprio Estatuto. Para tanto, realizamos dezesseis entrevistas com dirigentes das entidades de atendimento e três entrevistas com conselheiros de direito. Entrevistamos também a coordenadora da Equipe de Monitoramento e Avaliação da Secretaria de Política Social, órgão responsável pelo monitoramento das entidades registradas no CMDCA. Optamos ainda pela observação participante no Conselho num período de quatro meses, buscando apreender a dinâmica de funcionamento do mesmo e o jogo de correlação de forças nesse espaço, que supúnhamos ter um peso significativo nas discussões e encaminhamentos à política. Além da participação nas reuniões plenárias quinzenais, participamos também de dois eventos promovidos pelo Conselho. O procedimento metodológico foi complementado com o levantamento e análise documental referente à política municipal de atendimento a infância e adolescência em Juiz de Fora, às entidades de atendimento e ao Conselho Municipal dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente. Pretendeu-se contribuir com o debate dos direitos de cidadania e da democracia e com a apreensão dos desafios da Política para a infância e adolescência na escala municipal, arena onde o embate entre filantropia e cidadania acontece.
This dissertation deals with the participation of religious organizations in public policy for the children and adolescents in Juiz de Fora, in the period after the Statute for Children and Adolescents. It is about understanding the challenges faced at the present time in relation to the implementation of the Statute, in a scene of great experience with the conservative tradition of welfarism, paternalism and patronage still remains as a mechanism for the confrontation of the social issue. Moreover, changes of State in the conduct of social policies are back on the agenda the relevance of the shares philanthropic and revalued the religious activity in this field. The intervention of this kind of institution in the social area in our country is not recent, however, marked the origin of the attendance in this area acting by the charity, the benevolent act, the love of each other. However, the existence of local experiments of insertion of religious groups in social actions to confront poverty contrasts with that, actually, we know about them, their practices and effective contribution. This work searched for analyze the relationship of religious organizations with the policy of attendance for children and adolescents in the town, through the adequacy of them to the principles and guidelines of this policy, according to the Statute of the Child and Adolescent, and also the relationship established with the City Council on the Rights of the Child and Adolescent - CMDCA/JF, with the Municipal Public Power in its manager and “executor” institution, and with its own Statute. Then we performed sixteen interviews with the leaders of the organizations of attendance and three interviews with advisors of law. We also interviewed the coordinator of the Monitoring and Evaluation Team of the Department of Social Policy, the institution responsible for monitoring the organizations registered in the CMDCA. We still decided for the participated observation in the Council, in a period of four months, seeking to apprehend the dynamics of its operation and the game of correlation of forces in this area, that we supposed to have a significant weight in the discussions and referrals to the policy. In addition to the participation in the plenary sessions fortnightly, we also participated in two events promoted by the Council. The methodological procedure was complemented with the survey and the documentary analysis with reference to the municipal policy of attendance for children and adolescents in Juiz de Fora, to the organizations of attendance and to the City Council on the Rights of Children and Adolescents. The intention of this work is to contribute with the discussion of the rights of citizenship and democracy and the apprehension of the challenges of policy for children and adolescents in the municipal scale, arena where the collision between philanthropy and citizenship happen.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the Billy Graham revival campaigns in Washington, London, New York, and Berlin in the 1950s as expressions of a transnational religious revival that took place simultaneously in the USA, Germany, and the UK. During this short-lived revival, discourses around Christianity, anti-Communism, democracy, and the Free World blended, produced new forms of civil religious identities, and seemed to briefly challenge secularization processes. The chapter explores the mindset of political and religious leaders who supported the Billy Graham Crusades as well as the staging of events as important performances in the transnational culture of the Cold War. It argues that despite obvious differences in the religious landscapes on both sides of the Atlantic regarding church attendance and the role of religion in political discourse, there still existed significant similarities. These can only be explained when taking transnational phenomena such as Cold War culture or secularization processes into consideration.

This chapter examines the role that Judaism played in Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler's life and career. It begins by summarizing the experiences of nineteenth-century European musicians of Jewish heritage and the extent to which music, unlike other professions, allowed them a pathway to success. It then considers the portrayal of Jewish musicians in novels and plays of the period, with particular emphasis on Israel Zangwill's The Melting Pot. It also discusses various Jewish aspects of Bloomfield-Zeisler's life, including early conflicts within her immediate family, her experience in Chicago attending a Christian boarding school, and her time in Vienna during a period of increasing anti-Semitism. Finally, it analyzes the reasons for Bloomfield-Zeisler's frequent comparison with Sarah Bernhardt; allusions to her Jewishness in reviews; and the Zeislers' monthly salons in Chicago, which attracted an impressive range of prominent U.S. and European intellectuals—musicians, authors, jurists, artists, writers, scientists, and philanthropists.

Like the previous chapter, this one examines 1878–90 but with a different thematic focus. Attending to national and regional developments, it reveals how regional struggles for power were shaped by the success of right-wing parties and individuals who rallied new recruits, and voters, by conflating the socialist, liberal, and Jewish “threats.” The first section documents the relative weakness of left liberalism and National Liberalism in Saxony. It also examines the social profile of the Saxon Landtag to suggest why Conservatives mustered a strong following in an urbanized, industrialized state and its parliament. The next section begins by examining the condition of Jews living in Saxony, then documents the close ties between Conservatives and radical antisemites, nationally and locally. The antisemitic leaders within Saxon Conservatism and the “circus-like” agitation they condoned in the 1880s suggest that anti-liberalism and antisemitism were potent political weapons before Bismarck’s fall from power in 1890.

This chapter examines local political participation in the Prairie Crossing project and how it differs from national participation. Local political participation is defined as being involved in private government through the Prairie Crossing Homeowners Association and voting in county, township, and municipal elections; national participation is defined as voting in national elections and engaging in political activity such as working for a candidate, attending a political rally or meeting, and influencing others to vote. Using questions taken from the American National Election Studies (ANES) database, the chapter compares the political participation of Prairie Crossing's residents to that of the national cohort. In particular, it discusses the voting behavior of Prairie Crossing residents as well as their record of public service involving the environment, education, water policy, and state, county, and municipal government. It also asks whether Prairie Crossing has helped in changing the culture of civic participation at both the local and national levels.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter seven undertakes close analysis of municipal immunization schemes in Cork and Dublin in the wake of the Ring incident and in the face of impaired public health service provision attendant on wartime conditions. It argues that the municipal anti-diphtheria immunization scheme in Cork city was the only intervention mounted in Ireland or Britain to attain immunization rates comparable to those achieved in North America. In Dublin, failure to organize a comprehensive immunization scheme facilitated the recrudescence of diphtheria in numbers not witnessed since the pre-vaccine era, and increased diphtheria mortality left parents with a difficult decision to make: to present children for treatment to a compromised public health service or to expose them to a rampant, virulent, and increasingly fatal diphtheria infection.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter deals with depictions of the process of construction in Statius’s panegyric Silvae. Statius attempts to enhance the impact of certain building projects by representing the process of their construction, while simultaneously conveying a particular poetics of construction uniquely suited to his Silvae. In the prefaces to individual books, Statius creates an image of the Silvae as composed at great speed and heavily improvised. In his poetic descriptions of construction, his emphasis on the fast execution of construction and the noise attendant on it serve to justify the aesthetics of the Silvae, composed at speed and communicating large panegyric sentiments. The poetics which Statius creates through descriptions of construction is (humorously) anti-Callimachean: fast composition and ‘thundering’ are not condemned, but are essential to the Silvae.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter works to unpack the specificity in New Zealand feminisms, noting how contemporary feminisms here respond to a decriminalized sex work regime, a specific history of colonialism and its effects, the contributions of the New Zealand Prostitutes’ Collective to shaping state and grassroots feminisms, the country’s size and location, and the sometimes uneasy interplay between mana wāhine Māori and Pākehā (European settler) feminist praxis. Today mana wāhine Māori, ‘state feminism’ and ‘Pākehā feminism’ are well-positioned to generate an intersectional approach to sex work politics, though this intersectional potential is yet to be fully realised. This is due in part to the individualized nature of some feminist movements at the expense of a materialist feminist lens focused on macro- and meso-level forces that structure social reproduction. In short, decriminalisation changed the discourse around sex work without producing the necessary attendant structural challenge to gender as a material and social formation. What is needed is a feminist praxis that is simultaneously anti-poverty, anti-racism, and pro-sexual egalitarianism.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter five examines the Ring College immunization disaster, in which 24 children reportedly contracted tuberculosis and one 12-year-old girl died following routine anti-diphtheria immunization. The existing historiography relating to the Ring incident has, without exception, insisted that Burroughs Wellcome Ltd mistakenly supplied a bottle of live tuberculosis in lieu of a bottle of the anti-diphtheria serum toxoid-antitoxin floccules (TAF), even though this charge was not substantiated by a High Court ruling in 1939.This chapter provides new evidence suggesting that liability for the tragedy lay not with Burroughs Wellcome Ltd, but with the local attending doctor and his advisors, who mounted a conspiracy to cover up initial negligence in administering the immunization scheme and subsequent perfunctory medical treatment of the affected children.

Full textAbstract:
Explores some of the most persistent and powerful images of migrant arrival and settlement from the early 20th century connected to Jewish districts in the East End of London and the Lower East Side of Manhattan. These visual representations incorporate varying degrees of popular journalism, social reportage, and social survey methodology. Each of these visual forms acquire a new intensity with the later 19th- and early 20th-century mass migrations as well as the attendant anti-immigrant campaigns which followed. This chapter investigates the mostly anonymous drawings and photographs which accompany George R. Sims panoramic survey of London (Living London, 1902) to show one set of observations and audience expectations; Jacob Epstein’s illustrations for a parallel account of New York (Hutchins Hapgood’s The Spirit of the Ghetto, 1902) suggest an alternative, more engaged approach.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter briefly reviews the range of dissident movements that were active during the last half of the 1960s. Attending to Black Power, Third World activism, the New Left, anti-war movement, counterculture, women’s liberation, and GLBT radicalism, this chapter explains why dissident groups became increasingly radical and alienated from mainstream politics and society. This chapter also summarizes the variety of Hollywood films and television programs that have featured the counterculture, Black Power and anti-war movements from 1966 to the present decade. These films and TV shows illustrate how late sixties radicalism influenced entertainment television. Although movies and television programs have provided a wide range of depictions, they have tended to foreground the spectacle of dissent and countercultural lifestyles over nuanced attention to radical politics or the motives underlying protesters’ actions.

THE NECESSITY OF INTENSE ORAL ANTICOAGULANT TREATMENT." In XIth International Congress on Thrombosis and Haemostasis. Schattauer GmbH, 1987. http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0038-1643263.
Full textAbstract:
One of the reasons why oral anticoagulants fell into disrepute is the absence of internationally acceptable standarised procedures for controlling the level of anticoagulation. This deplorable situation resulted in over and under coagulation and uncertainty in the therapeutic range. The International Normalised Ratio (INR) can safely be applied in patients on oral anticoagulants.We present two Groups of patients under long term anti coagulation, mainly because of prosthetic heart valves that have recently been added to our outpatients clinic. These patients were till then attended by two cardiologists with different attitudes on the intensity of the anticoagulant treatment. The thromboplastin reagent used is that of ox origin and the results are expressed on INR.The Group A with 32 patients had at the time that we started attending them an INR x = 1,80 ± 0,48 and a daily dose of acenocoumarol x = 1,65 ± 0,51.The Group B with 49 patients had an INR x = 2,75 ± 0,51 and a daily dose of acenocoumarol x = 2,52 ± 1,53.Seven patients of the Group A referred thrombotic complications, while three patients of the Group B referred transiant thrombotic complications.The statistical analysis with the t-test of the INR between the two Groups is p<0,001 while that of the thrombotic complication with the x2 is p<0,05.The introduction of the INR and the acceptance by the medical people of the necessity of the intense oral anticoagulant treatment especially on high risk patients with mechanical heart valves as is the majority of the presented patients, will minimize the thromboembolic complications without high risk of bleeding.
