Men are much less likely to seek out mental health care services than women, despite having equally significant mental health related needs. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the construction and delivery of intervention messages designed to encourage men to seek help for mental health concerns. 225 men in the United States were randomly assigned to one of 4 vignette conditions featuring a pro-mental health help seeking message, varying based on the gender of the sender of the message (male vs. female) and based on the inclusion of information concerning misconceptions about therapy (inclusion vs. exclusion of information). A male message sender and a message that included information about misconceptions regarding therapy were both predicted to contribute to higher mental health help seeking intentions for men, and particularly so for men who conform strongly to masculine gender role norms. These hypotheses were not supported; however, the results replicated prior findings indicating that men who conform strongly to masculine gender role norms are less open to seeking help for mental health concerns. Additionally, men’s conformity to the specific masculine norms of self-reliance and violence both at least partially moderated the impact of message sender gender upon help seeking intentions. Further research should continue to investigate the potential effects of message sender gender and message content on men’s help seeking intentions by presenting the pro-help seeking message in person and by presenting a message that more explicitly challenges typical masculine attitudes about mental health care.

Objective: To elaborate, implement and analyze the effectiveness of an individualized alternative communication program for children with nonverbal cerebral palsy applied together in three of their daily life contexts: school, residential and clinical. Method: The participants were: 03 children diagnosed with cerebral palsy with their respective interlocutors from the contexts already mentioned: teachers, family members and therapists. The research was carried out at the children's school, at the residence of the participants and at an outpatient school unit linked to a university. To reach the objectives of the research was the design of multiple probes by situations (clinical, home and school) involving 2 phases probing and intervention. The instruments for data collection used were: Protocol of characterization of the participants, Interview script with the interlocutors on the communicative abilities of the child, Protocol for selection of the figures, Road map to analyze the perception of the interlocutors on the implementation of the supplementary communication and / or alternative and Questionnaire of social validity. The data collection and analysis were structured in 5 phases: Phase 1 Initial Survey: Knowledge of the characteristics of the participants and the initial repertoire, Phase 2, 3, 4 Intervention: Theoretical, practical training and preparation of the alternative communication resource and Phase 5 Final Score: Final Score of the acquired skills. Results: The results demonstrated: (1) demand for improvements in the communication of the interlocutors (of the 3 contexts) for failing to recognize the needs and desires of the children needing alternative resources to make this communication meaningful and effective; (2) lack of repertoire of participants' input in relation to alternative communication; (3) that the Multiple Probe Design allowed to carry out a planned intervention, in order to guarantee control of the variables; (4) acquisition of new communicative skills by the children and (5) that from the instrumentalization of the participants the act of "changing a pictographic figure by its corresponding object" took place, which made it possible for the child and the interlocutors to use the alternative communication features with independence, functionality and low level of help. Conclusion: The implementation of an individualized alternative communication program aimed at the interlocutors of children with nonverbal cerebral palsy in three of their development contexts favored the increase of the communicative abilities of these children and promoted changes in the behavior of children in the three contexts (school, clinic and house). Through the results, the research revealed that the Alternative Communication Program was effective in the intervention strategies adopted. / Introdução: Crianças com necessidades complexas de comunicação se beneficiam de programas de reabilitação direcionados à orientação e instrumentalização do usuário, da família e da escola. Objetivo: Elaborar, implementar e analisar a eficácia de um programa individualizado de comunicação alternativa para crianças com paralisia cerebral não verbais aplicado em conjunto em três de seus contextos de vida diária: escolar, residencial e clínico. Método: Os participantes da pesquisa foram: 03 crianças com diagnóstico de paralisia cerebral com seus respectivos interlocutores dos contextos já citados: professores, familiares e terapeutas. A pesquisa foi realizada na escola das crianças, na residência dos participantes e num ambulatório-escola vinculado à uma universidade. Para alcançar os objetivos da pesquisa foi utilizado o delineamento de múltiplas sondagens por situações (clínica, domiciliar e escolar) envolvendo 2 fases sondagem e intervenção. Os instrumentos para coleta de dados utilizados foram: Protocolo de caracterização dos participantes, Roteiro de entrevista com os interlocutores sobre as habilidades comunicativas da criança, Protocolo para seleção das figuras, Roteiro para analisar a percepção dos interlocutores sobre a implementação da comunicação suplementar e/ou alternativa e Questionário de validade social. A coleta e a análise de dados foram estruturadas em 5 fases: Fase 1 Sondagem Inicial: Conhecimento das características dos participantes e do repertório inicial, Fase 2, 3, 4 Intervenção: Capacitação teórica, prática e Confecção do recurso de comunicação alternativa e Fase 5 Sondagem Final: Avaliação Final das habilidades adquiridas. Resultados: Os resultados demonstraram: (1) demanda por melhorias na comunicação dos interlocutores (dos 3 contextos) por não conseguirem reconhecer as necessidades e desejos das crianças necessitando de recursos alternativos para tornar esta comunicação significativa e eficaz; (2) ausência de repertório de entrada dos participantes perante a temática da comunicação alternativa; (3) que o delineamento de múltipla sondagem permitiu realizar uma intervenção planejada, de modo a garantir controle das variáveis; (4) aquisição de novas habilidades comunicativas por parte das crianças e (5) que a partir da instrumentalização dos participantes o ato de “trocar uma figura pictográfica pelo seu objeto correspondente” efetivou-se, o que possibilitou que a criança e os interlocutores utilizassem os recursos de comunicação alternativa com independência, funcionalidade e baixo nível de ajuda. Conclusão: A implementação de um programa individualizado de comunicação alternativa dirigido aos interlocutores de crianças com paralisia cerebral não verbais em três de seus contextos de desenvolvimento favoreceu o aumento das habilidades comunicativas destas crianças e promoveu modificações no comportamento das crianças nos três contextos (escola, clínica e casa). Por meio dos resultados, a pesquisa revelou que o Programa de Comunicação Alternativa foi eficaz nas estratégias de intervenção adotadas. / FAPESP/CAPES: 2014/17741-6

Funerary Contexts at the Ancón Necropolis from Final Middle Horizon. Analytical Perspectives and InvestigationThis note deals with the potential analytical strength of a series of funerary contexts from Ancón, attributed to Middle Horizon 4 and excavated during 1946 and 1949 by different teams of Peruvian archaeologists. This suggested analysis is based on an appropiate methodology of the reconstruction of contexts parting from extant documentation and associated objects. / En el presente trabajo se expone brevemente las potencialidades de análisis de una muestra de contextos funerarios provenientes del sitio de Ancón, asignados a la Época 4 del Horizonte Medio y excavados entre 1946 y 1949 por diversos equipos de arqueólogos peruanos. Dicho análisis supone el empleo de una metodología apropiada de reconstrucción de los contextos mismos, a partir de los registros (gráficos y escritos) y de los materiales arqueológicos que hasta hoy se han preservado.

The excavations in Jauranga revealed a sequence of archaeological contexts distributed over a stratigraphy with a depth of morethan three meters. Within this stratigraphy we found the remains of numerous adobe walls pertaining to structures of a settlement dating to the Middle and Late Paracas periods. Forty nine funerary contexts from different phases of the Paracas culture were embedded in the stratified layers and structural remains. Furthermore, we recorded 31 intrusive burials of the Nasca culture.The stratigraphic analysis of the structural remains in their relation to the associated artifacts and non-artifactual finds, the ty- pological analysis of the ceramic artifacts from the stratified layers and from the burial contexts, as well as numerous radiocarbon dates allowed us for the first time to establish a chronological ordering of the developmental phases of the Paracas culture based on stratigraphic contexts. The results of these analyses helped to confirm the validity of the results of the stylistic seriation of the Paracas ceramics from the Ica valley published by Menzel, Rowe and Dawson in 1964. Based on the stratigraphic evidence recorded in Jauranga, we discuss aspects of chronology, type and function of the site, as well as their implications for the local and regional archaeological contexts. / Las excavaciones en Jauranga pusieron al descubierto un conjunto de contextos arqueológicos distribuidos en una estratigrafíade más de tres metros de profundidad, en donde destacan los restos de muros de barro, correspondientes a numerosas estructuras arquitectónicas superpuestas. Estas últimas forman parte de un asentamiento de los períodos Paracas Medio y Paracas Tardío. Asimismo, entre las capas y los restos arquitectónicos, se descubrieron 49 contextos funerarios pertenecientes a diferentes fases Paracas y 31 entierros intrusivos de filiación nasca.El análisis estratigráfico de los restos arquitectónicos en relación con los materiales y artefactos asociados, la clasificación de los materiales cerámicos tanto de las capas como de las tumbas, así como el fechado de los mismos a través de numerosas muestras de C14, nos han permitido por primera vez tener un ordenamiento cronológico de las fases de desarrollo de la cultura Paracas sobre la base de los contextos estratificados. Esto, de algún modo, nos ha ayudado a comprobar la validez de la seriación estilística propuesta para la cerámica paracas del valle de Ica por Menzel, Rowe y Dawson (1964). En este manuscrito, se presentan las evidencias registradas y documentadas en Jauranga, a partir de las cuales se discutirán aspectos relacionados con la cronología, el tipo y función del sitio, así como sus implicancias en el contexto de arqueología local y regional.

Death in Ancient Perú. An Introduction to Funerary Contexts and ConceptsThis paper is an introduction to the subject of death and its relevance lo Ancient Peru's history. The author discusses the available information (from 16th to 20th cent.), and presents a methodology for analysis and interpretation followed by a synthesis of the evidence and their significance. The subject of death is of utmost importance for the understanding of Ancient Peru, but actual investigation does not work with a reliable data base and has not been able to produce an appropiate theoretical framework. / Como introducción al tema de la muerte y su relevancia en la historia del Antiguo Perú, el autor discute las fuentes (siglos XVI a XX), presenta una metodología para análisis e interpretación y una síntesis de las evidencias y su significado. El tema de la muerte es de importancia crucial para la comprensión del Antiguo Perú, pero los estudios no cuentan con una base de datos que sea apropiada ni se ha logrado elaborar un marco teórico propio.

Rethinking the Middle Horizon: A Case Study at Conchopata, Ayacucho, PerúKnowledge about the past is socially created, in historical contexts that influence how we understand and interpret archaeological information. Consequently, as time change we must be prepared to modify our thinking about prehispanic cultures. The Middle Horizon cultural period and the archaeological site of Conchopata, in Peru's Ayacucho valley, seemed very well understood but recent excavations have revealed unexpected new possibilities.Archaeologists believed that a new religious ideology spread from Tiwanaku initiated the Middle Horizon at Conchopata. But newly defined «D»-shaped temple buildings, associated with the art called «Tiwanaku» have no parallels in Tiwanaku´s Lake Titicaca homeland.Conchopata was considered haphazard in form, occupied primarily by specialists in the production of pottery. But new research shows that much of Conchopata's architectural core was planned and enclosed by perimeter walls, and a palace may have been located in the city's architectural core. Numerous new offerings of giant pottery have been excavated, suggesting that these ceremonial ceramics may have been brewing and serving sets for feast organized by ancient kings. Several forms of burials have been identified ranging from interments to Bedrock Cavity Interment and Mortuary Building Interments, and one grave might have been a royal tomb. Finally a suite of radiocarbon dates confirm much thinking about Middle Horizon chronology, but they suggest that Tiwanaku iconography did not arrive at Conchopata until the middle of the phase, when a long tradition of polychrome ceramic painting already existed. Apparently Conchopata was more than the recipient of new religion and art from the Altiplano. We must be prepared to abandon old ideas about Conchopata and the Middle Horizon as more convincing understandings emerge. / El conocimiento del pasado se crea socialmente, en contextos históricos que influyen en la forma en que se entiende e interpreta la información arqueológica. En consecuencia, a medida que los tiempos cambian, los arqueólogos deben estar preparados para modificar su forma de pensar acerca de las culturas prehispánicas. Tanto el periodo cultural denominado Horizonte Medio como el sitio arqueólogico de Conchopata, en el valle de Ayacucho, Perú, parecían bien comprendidos hasta el momento; sin embargo, excavaciones recientes han revelado nuevas e inesperadas posibilidades.Los arqueólogos creían que una nueva ideología religiosa proveniente de Tiwanaku dio comienzo al Horizonte Medio en Conchopata, pero los recientemente definidos templos en forma de «D», que se encuentran asociados con el arte denominado «Tiwanaku», no tienen paralelo en el área de origen de Tiwanaku en el lago Titicaca.Conchopata era considerado como un centro de forma irregular y habitado primariamente por especialistas en la elaboracion de cerámica, pero las nuevas investigaciones demuestran que gran parte de su núcleo arquitectónico fue bien planificado y circundado por muros perimetrales y que podría haber existido un palacio en él. Se han excavado numerosas ofrendas de cerámica gigante, lo que sugiere que esta cerámica ceremonial podría haber sido usada para preparar y servir bebidas en fiestas organizadas por los antiguos reyes. Varias formas de contextos funerarios han sido identificados, desde estructuras simples, en cavidades en la roca madre, hasta construcciones mortuorias especiales. Finalmente, un conjunto de fechados radiocarbónicos confirma algunas ideas acerca del Horizonte Medio, pero sugieren también que la iconografía Tiwanaku no llegó a Conchopata hasta mediados de su ocupación, cuando una larga tradición de cerámica polícroma ya existía en la zona. Aparentemente, Conchopata fue mucho más que un simple receptor de una nueva religión y arte procedentes del altiplano. Por ello, los arqueólogos deben estar preparados para dejar de lado viejas ideas acerca de este complejo y del Horizonte Medio, a medida que emergen interpretaciones más convincentes.

Middle Horizon Textiles: Evidence from Huaca Malena, Asia ValleyArchaeological research was undertaken in 1997 at Huaca Malena in the Asia valley of Peru's south central coast, under the auspices of the Asia Municipal Government. The archaeological complex consists of an Early Intermediate architectural complex that has a huge Middle Horizon Epoch 2B and 3 cemetery intruded into its upper platforms. These intrusive tombs consist of circular pits containing several individuals. Textile wrappings on the bodies reveal a stratified society in which elites possessed extremely fine weavings characterized by Wari iconography reminiscent of the Conchopata and Atarco ceramic styles. Also associated, however, are textiles from other regional traditions, providing a new and broader vision of Middle Horizon societies. / Bajo los auspicios de la Municipalidad de Asia, en 1997 se realizaron estudios en el sitio denominado Huaca Malena, valle de Asia, costa sur-central del Perú. Esta es una construcción del Periodo lntermedio Temprano, sobre cuyas plataformas superiores se emplazó un gran cementerio correspondiente a las épocas 2B y 3 del Horizonte Medio. Las tumbas intrusivas son de planta circular y contienen varios individuos. Los fardos funerarios reflejan una sociedad estratificada cuyos contextos de elite contienen finísimos tejidos con iconografía wari, que recuerda a La cerámica de los estilos Conchopata y Atarco. Asociados a estos, igualmente, aparecen tejidos relacionados a otras tradiciones regionales y locales, lo que permite obtener una visión más amplia de las sociedades del Horizonte Medio.

Previous research has studied the relationship between the use of the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) and various personality traits when individuals are presented with persuasive information. This study aims to examine attitude change toward treatment in personality disorder (PD) patients using the ELM. It is predicted that patients of BPD, SPD, and OCPD will be more likely to use the central route of processing, while patients of NPD will be more likely to use the peripheral route of processing when evaluating persuasive information due the personality traits characteristic of the respective disorders. Selected patients of the four PDs of interest will be randomly assigned to read a positive persuasive appeal containing information more likely to be persuasive to an individual using the central route of processing or, conversely, the peripheral route of persuasion. Differences in treatment attitudes before and after reading each appeal will be compared in a 2x4 Factorial ANOVA design. Understanding individual differences in information processing and attitude change toward treatment depending on personality disorder could potentially allow for mental health professionals to consider these tendencies when encouraging treatment for individual personality disorder patients.

Neste trabalho, buscamos analisar, de um ponto vista sincrônico e quantitativo, as funções que os locativos aqui, aí, ali e lá exercem na oração e no texto. Para isso, trabalhamos com a variedade do português popular falado no Brasil, mais especificamente o dialeto utilizado pelos informantes do projeto Filologia Bandeirante (MEGALE, 1998) e pelos falantes que forneceram material para organização do Banco de Dados do Português Popular Falado na Cidade de São Paulo (RODRIGUES, 1987). A principal questão analisada foi a da função sintática dos advérbios locativos, ou seja, se seriam sempre adjuntos, como algumas Gramáticas Tradicionais (GT) acreditam ou se poderiam exercer a função de argumentos de predicado, como alguns estudos já apontam. Adotando os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Gramática Funcional de DIK (1989) e da Sociolingüística Variacionista, nosso objetivo é descrever, analisar e explicar o comportamento dos locativos, buscando identificar os possíveis contextos que favoreçam o aparecimento destes termos ora como argumento, ora como satélites de EsCo. / In this research we analyze, of a point sight synchronic and quantitative, the functions that the locative case aqui, aí, ali and lá are used in the sentence and in the text. For that, we work with the range of the Portuguese popular spoken in Brazil, more specifically the dialect utilized by the informers of the Filologia Bandeirante project (MEGALE, 1998) and by the talkative that supplied stuff for organization of the Banco de Dados do Português Popular Falado na Cidade de São Paulo (RODRIGUES, 1987). The main question analyzed was the syntactic function of the adverbs locative case, for instance if would be always adjunct, as some Traditional Grammar (GT) believe or it would be able to exercise the predicate arguments function, like some studies already aim. Adopting the theoretical-methodological budgets of the Functional Grammar of DIK (1989) and of the Sociolinguistics Variationist, our objective is going to describe, analyze and explain the behavior of the locative case, seeking identify the possible contexts that favor the appearance of these we will have as argument, or on the other hand like satellites of EsCo.
