In this study, we investigated how cultural prejudices and social rejection may have a significant effect on obese women's dialogical self-development. Adopting a longitudinal methodological approach, we analyzed the developmental trajectory of three obese women along a period of two years, during which they were submitted to bariatric surgery to lose weight. The aim was to identify and analyze the configurations of their dialogical self before, right after, and months after the surgery. Some guiding questions were 'How did they position themselves at those three different moments? What were the social others and experiences that contributed to their dialogical self changes? What was the impact of imagined future 'selves' over their self positionings?' The research was based on both semiotic and cultural psychology and the dialogical self-theory. Results revealed important aspects of the dynamics of self-development, shaped by the cultural canalization power of prejudice. However, each subject, in idiosyncratic ways, used diverse strategies and reacted very differently to prejudice and weight loss experiences, which reveals the complexities of their dialogical self in constant processes of development.
Introdução: Devido à alta prevalência de obesidade que acomete o mundo inteiro, a cirurgia bariátrica vem ganhando força e espaço em relação aos tipos de tratamentos convencionais, principalmente por indivíduos que tem que perder peso, e que com apenas a dieta não vem obtendo sucesso. No entanto, esses procedimentos ocasionam diminuição importante na absorção de alguns nutrientes. Tendo como destaque, as concentrações séricas de cálcio. Dessa forma, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica com o objetivo de relatar as principais complicações causadas pela deficiência de cálcio em indivíduos submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica. Revisão e discussão: Utilizou-se a base de dados da BIREME para pesquisa dos artigos relacionados ao tema dos últimos 10 anos nos idiomas português e inglês. Foram incluídos ao final dez artigos, que demonstraram hipocalcemia em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica, devido à baixa ingestão e absorção do cálcio, levando a alterações no paratormônio e ao aumento de maiores chances de desenvolver fraturas ósseas. Considerações finais: Pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica demostram diminuição nos níveis de cálcio, então se faz necessário averiguar de como manter esses níveis adequados para se evitar complicações provenientes dessa deficiência.
For individuals who are visually impaired (VIP), navigation requires the construction of a cognitive spatial map of one's surrounding environment. The proposed system was developed using techniques of Virtual Reality and Natural Interaction to assist the construction of cognitive spatial map and consequently the mobility of visually impaired (VIP). The system allows the modeling of two-dimensional or threedimensional virtual environments. Is it possible to reproduce any places of interest. The interaction with the virtual environment is based on the recognition of poses, which are interpreted as actions of walking, turning left or right, or groping, and sound responses. Tests with VIPs were performed and the results demonstrated the effectiveness of the system, as well as positive feedback from participants who have developed cognitive map of the navigated environment. Thus, it may be indicated in aid in the work of Orientation and Mobility (OM), and thus contribute to greater social inclusion of those people.
Como abordar a ‘violência obstétrica’ em uma escola pública no mesmo momento em que o Ministério da Saúde despacha sobre a inadequação do termo? Exploraremos este problema de fundo a partir da descrição de um projeto de extensão realizado em uma escola estadual em Porto Seguro (BA), envolvendo a Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia e o Coletivo Parto Seguro: pelo fim da violência obstétrica. Por fim, as conversas entre a antropóloga coordenadora do projeto, as ativistas do Coletivo e jovens estudantes da rede de ensino estadual levam-nos a apontar brevemente para um possível caminho de abordagem da violência obstétrica no debate público.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
