Um estudo de caso sobre adoção de uma criança mais velha / A case study about older children adoption / Estudio de caso sobre la adopción de un niño mayor

RESUMO Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a representação familiar de uma criança que vivenciou o processo de adoção, a partir do olhar da própria criança, assim como conhecer seu amadurecimento emocional. Participou do estudo um menino de nove anos e sua mãe por adoção. Para a coleta de dados realizou-se uma Entrevista Semiestruturada com a mãe e, com a criança, houve uma Sessão Lúdica, aplicação do Procedimento de Desenhos de Família com Estórias (DF-E) e uma sessão para intervenção sobre os desenhos realizados com a criança. Os dados obtidos foram interpretados segundo método da livre inspeção do material a partir do processo compreensivo, sustentados no referencial winnicottiano. Os resultados evidenciaram a importância de a criança conhecer e possuir abertura para conversar sobre sua história pregressa com seus responsáveis; sendo que, quando há um ambiente acolhedor e o oferecimento de um espaço terapêutico para a criança, que pode ser obtido na família por adoção, isso favorece o amadurecimento emocional. Ademais, destaca-se a necessidade de cuidados da criança que sofreu de-privação e as consequências negativas em se apagar a história do que foi vivido antes da adoção. O estudo remete à importância de as crianças encontrarem na família por adoção um ambiente seguro e acolhedor, que sobreviva aos seus ataques e forneça um espaço em que sua história de vida seja respeitada.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the family representation of a child who experienced the adoption process from the child's gaze and evaluate their emotional maturation. A nine-year-old boy and his mother took part in the study by adoption. For the data collection, it was performed a semi-structured interview with the mother and a Play Session. The Family Drawings Procedure with Stories (DF-E) and a session for intervention on the drawings were made with the child. The data obtained was interpreted according to the method of free inspection of the material from the comprehensive process, based on the Winnicottian reference. The results showed the importance of the child knowing and having an openness to talk about his/her history with those responsible. In addition, when there is a welcoming environment and the offer of a therapeutic space for the child, available to the family, this allows the emotional maturation of the child. Furthermore, there is a need to care for the child who suffered deprivation, and the negative consequences of erasing the history experienced before the adoption are highlighted. The study points to the children finding in the family by adopting a safe and welcoming environment, surviving their attacks, and providing a space in which their life history is respected.

RESUMEN Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la representación familiar de un niño que vivenció el proceso de adopción, a partir de la mirada del propio niño, y también evaluar su maduración emocional. Participó del estudio un niño de nueve años y su madre por adopción. Para la recolección de datos fue realizada una Entrevista Semiestructurada con la madre y se utilizó una sesión Lúdica, el Procedimiento de Dibujos de Familia con Estorias (DF-E) y de una sesión para intervención sobre los dibujos realizados con el niño. Los datos obtenidos fueron interpretados según el método de la libre inspección del material a partir del proceso comprensivo, sostenidos en el referencial winnicottiano. Los resultados mostraron la importancia de que el niño conozca y tenga apertura para hablar sobre su historia con sus responsables; que, cuando hay un ambiente acogedor y el ofrecimiento de un espacio terapéutico para el niño, que puede obtenerse en la familia por adopción, esto posibilita la maduración emocional. Además, se destaca la necesidad de cuidar al niño que sufrió privación o desprivación y las consecuencias negativas de borrar la historia de lo vivido antes de la adopción. El estudio remite a la importancia de los niños para encontrar en la familia por adopción un ambiente seguro y acogedor que sobreviva a sus ataques y proporcione un espacio en que su historia de vida sea respetada.

Grazing's frequency and associations with obesity, psychopathology, and loss of control eating in clinical and community contexts: A systematic review.

The term grazing is generally described as the repetitive and nonplanned consumption of small amounts of food, not in response to hunger/satiety sensations. The present study aims to identify and critically review studies examining the frequency of grazing in both clinical and community samples, as well as, to investigate its relationship with eating disorder psychopathology, Loss of Control eating (LOC), psychological impairment, and weight-related variables. This systematic review followed the PRISMA recommendations for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analysis. A total of 138 articles were initially retrieved from the database search. In the end, 18 articles were considered for this systematic review. The results were separated in Grazing and Grazing-like behavior (picking and nibbling). Results of studies of grazing-like behaviors displays that, in these studies, the results are sometimes inconsistent and controversial. On the other hand, studies of Grazing behavior showed more consistent results. These results show that the use of different definitions across the literature makes it difficult to establish comparisons across studies. In this literature review, the studies selected used five different definitions of grazing and five different instruments to assess this eating behavior which reinforces the requirement for standardized definition and evaluation. More, the studies hereby revised suggested that LOC eating was considered in association with grazing, being significantly associated with higher levels of psychopathology and psychological impairment. In accordance, a growing body of research argues that LOC eating was a stronger predictor of eating disorder psychopathology than the amounts of food consumed. Furthermore, the results found by studies show an advance to literature with an accordance about LOC, supported by evidences in studies of this review.

A new genus and species, Panamapisa guaymii gen. nov. sp. nov., the first record of the family Eriopisidae Lowry amp; Myers, 2013 from Central America.

Eriopisidae is a widespread amphipod family, whose members have subcylindrical bodies, often do not have eyes, showing elongate third uropods in which the endopod is reduced and the exopod can become very long. This is the first record of Eriopisidae from Central America. Here, we describe the new genus and species Panamapisa guaymii gen. nov., sp. nov. from Bocas del Toro, Panama. The taxon differs from other members of the family in having a greatly enlarged merus on gnathopod 1, marginal setae on the dactyls of pereopod 5 to 7 and a third uropod nearly as long as the body.

A new superfamily and family of Hadziida (Amphipoda: Senticaudata), with a description of a new genus and new species from the Brazilian continental shelf.

A new monotypic superfamily, family, genus and species of Hadziida is described from the Brazilian continental shelf. Magnovioidea superfam. nov. Magnovidae fam. nov. and Magnovis gen. nov. are distinguished by the presence of: antenna 1 shorter than the peduncle of antenna 2; maxilliped outer plate falcate; palp, article 4 reduced and left and right mandibles with a well-developed molar that dominates the mandibular area. Eyes are absent. The type-species Magnovis elizabethae sp. nov. has strongly sexually dimorphic males in which gnathopod 2 is larger than gnathopod 1. Magnovidae fam. nov. occurs on the mid-continental shelf.

Famílias por adoção na visão das crianças e de seus pais / Families by adoption in the view of children and their parents / Familias por adopción en la visión de los niños y sus padres

Este estudo de caso coletivo teve por objetivo investigar a representação familiar de crianças que vivenciaram o processo de adoção a partir do olhar da própria criança, além de avaliar o amadurecimento emocional destas e compreender também a visão dos pais sobre a adoção. Participaram do estudo duas famílias com duas filhas por adoção cada, totalizando quatro crianças participantes com idade entre cinco e doze anos incompletos e seus respectivos pais/mães por adoção. Para a coleta de dados com as crianças, utilizou-se uma Sessão Lúdica, do Procedimento de Desenhos de Família com Estórias (DF-E) e uma sessão para maior investigação/intervenção sobre os desenhos realizados, além de uma entrevista semiestruturada com o casal parental. Os dados obtidos foram analisados e interpretados segundo método da livre inspeção do material a partir do processo compreensivo, sustentados no referencial psicanalítico winnicottiano. Os resultados mostraram que o pertencimento à família é construído ao longo da convivência, passando por diferentes fases. Também se constatou que algumas das dificuldades identificadas nas crianças encontravam-se ligadas ao universo da adoção e não à forma como o casal se constituía, sendo que, independente da configuração de família, a representação familiar estava ligada à forma como as crianças vivenciavam a família e o papel de cada membro dentro desta. O estudo remete à importância de as crianças encontrarem na família por adoção um ambiente seguro e acolhedor, que sobreviva aos seus ataques e seja espaço potencial onde sua história de vida seja respeitada.

This collective case of study aimed to investigate the family representation of children experienced the adoption process from the child's own perspective as well as to evaluate their emotional development and also understand the parents view about the adoption. Two families with two daughters each, totaling four children aged from five to twelve incomplete years old and their respective parents participated in the study. In order to collect data with the child, three different procedures were carried out: a Play Session, the Family Drawings Procedure with Stories (DF-E) and a session of more investigation/intervention on the drawings, besides a semi-structured interview with the parental couple. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted according to the method of free inspection of the material from the comprehensive process based on the Winnicottian psychoanalytical framework. The results showed that the feeling of belonging to the family is built along the coexistence of the child, going through different phases. It was also found that some of the difficulties identified with the children were related to the universe of adoption and not to the way the couple who led the family constituted themselves, and regardless of the family configuration, the family representation was linked to the way the children experienced the family and the role of each member in the family. The study points to the importance of the children finding in the family by adoption a safe and welcoming environment that will survive their attacks and provide a space where their life story is respected.

This paper describes a species of the genus Cyphocaris Boeck, 1871, the first record of the family Cyphocarididae Lowry & Stoddart, 1997 from Brazil. Two specimens, both females, were found in the stomach contents of a tuna caught in the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago. The new species is characterized by coxae 4 and 5 both large, coxa 4 partially overlapping coxae 2-3; coxa of pereopod 5 with ventral laminar projection and well-developed anteroventral lobe, broadly rounded and apically folded backwards, basis with anterior margin broadly rounded and posterior margin with large subacute naked projection (or spur); uropod 3, outer ramus paddle-shaped; and telson elongate and deeply cleft, with a nail.

The analysis for the causes of surgical cancellations in a Brazilian university hospital.

BACKGROUND: The aim of our study is to quantify the occurrence of suspension of scheduled surgeries in a Brazilian university hospital, trying to identify the causes of suspension of these operations and meet the medical specialties that most contributed to the cancellation. METHODS: This study takes the form of an exploratory, descriptive, and quantitative enquiry carried out by analyzing the database from 2008 to 2011 of the operating theater. RESULTS: Of the 29,518 scheduled surgeries, 16.1% were cancelled. The patient was the main reason, accounting for more than 40% of all suspensions. When calculating the rate of surgery suspended from a specialty, dividing the number of cancelled surgeries in a specialty by the number of scheduled surgeries in the same, we found that otolaryngology is the specialty with the highest rate of 21.3%. CONCLUSIONS: One of the main reasons in our sample why surgeries were cancelled is nonappearance of the patient. Improving communication between patient and hospital facilitates the client program and also contributes to avoid cancellations.
