Medical and ground crew support during Euromir 95.

The longest manned mission previously supported by ESA was Euromir 94, which lasted just 30 days. The quantum leap to the originally planned 135 days of the Euromir 95 mission meant that a number of concepts needed to be rethought and adapted. One of the more obvious consequences was that the astronaut would be separated for a much longer period from his home environment, which meant that some of the ground-related support also had to be re-evaluated. Additional support associated with the 'psychological climate' onboard the station as a result of the longer mission duration was also necessary. Post-flight analysis has shown that all support elements functioned satisfactorily, but a number of potential improvements have also been identified.

A study on adolescents in the town of Botucatu, SP-aspects of sexuality]. / Avaliação do desenvolvimento afetivo-social do adolescente na faixa etária dos 15 aos 18 anos.Estudo com adolescentes do município de Botucatu, SP - Aspectos da sexualidade.

The authors present data obtained from the analysis of a questionnaire regarding sexuality among 1,437 adolescent students in the Botucatu municipal district. The student's age varied from 15 to 19 years. The results demonstrate the evolving characteristics of the student's sexuality and suggest that sexual orientation and guidance should be part of the child and adolescent educational process. The authors pointed out that the members of Health care team should stimulate the discussion of sexuality while providing medical advice.
