CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / No Brasil, o teste do reflexo vermelho (TRV), aplicado ao recÃm-nascido (RN), tem auxiliado a prevenÃÃo da cegueira infantil com participaÃÃo multiprofissional, inclusive do enfermeiro(a). No CearÃ, constitui objeto de estudo, ensino e prÃtica no cuidado de enfermagem, e busca-se a participaÃÃo deste Ãltimo(a) na Ãrea da saÃde ocular da crianÃa. Acreditando-se na criaÃÃo e aplicaÃÃo de uma tecnologia educativa voltada à prÃtica do TRV no cuidado ao RN e que o conhecimento dos aspectos inerentes ao TRV em crianÃas permite a formaÃÃo de competÃncias tÃcnico-cientÃficas, buscou-se avaliar um mÃtodo educativo para a prÃtica no cuidado de enfermagem e, especificamente, testÃ-lo para a capacitaÃÃo de enfermeiros, alÃm de verificar as facilidades e dificuldades para sua realizaÃÃo, na Ãtica do profissional. Estudo avaliativo, quantitativo, desenvolvido em uma maternidade de referÃncia situada em Fortaleza, Cearà com enfermeiras assistenciais, nos setores de internaÃÃo neonatal e no Departamento de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Cearà de julho/2006 a marÃo/2007, subdividido em trÃs fases preparatÃria, operacional e avaliativa, valendo-se de instrumentos e materiais especÃficos para cada uma. Para o TRV, utilizou-se uma lanterna, um oftalmoscÃpio direto e um gradiente de cores. Os dados foram apresentados em tabelas, quadros e grÃficos atravÃs de estatÃstica descritiva e inferencial. Foram utilizados mÃdia, teste do qui-quadrado, teste Phi para a concordÃncia, coeficiente de correlaÃÃo de Pearson e o teste de mÃxima verossimilhanÃa e, fixou-se o nÃvel de significÃncia de 5%. Participaram 16 enfermeiras. Quinze com formaÃÃo eminente de instituiÃÃes pÃblicas de ensino. Oito entre 1 e 5 anos de tempo de serviÃo em neonatologia. Doze desconheciam problemas oculares em RN, 11 nÃo tinham acesso Ãs publicaÃÃes sobre o tema e 14 apresentaram interesse sobre o TRV. Foram realizadas 240 avaliaÃÃes, cada uma composta de 12 itens, avaliados como âadequadoâ ou âinadequadoâ. Quanto Ãqueles classificados como âadequadoâ o somatÃrio mÃnimo foi de 134 (69,7%) e mÃximo de 192 (100%). Quanto ao valor absoluto de itens executados adequadamente, nenhuma avaliaÃÃo foi composta de menos de 6 itens. A partir da 13Â. avaliaÃÃo, as enfermeiras realizavam de modo adequado 100% dos itens. O resultado do TRV foi considerado normal em todas as avaliaÃÃes e constatou-se a predominÃncia do aspecto laranja (cor do reflexo) em 164 (62,2%) delas. Em relaÃÃo ao gradiente identificado verificou-se um coeficiente de concordÃncia entre examinadores de Phi= 4,47 e p = 0,0001, ao se comparar os grupos de resultados de modo geral. Semelhante dado, tambÃm foi encontrado ao se buscar a correlaÃÃo entre pesquisadora e enfermeiras no decorrer das avaliaÃÃes. Nove enfermeiras apontaram como maior facilidade a abordagem teÃrica e dificuldade (12) a nÃo visualizaÃÃo de leucocoria. Os dados confirmam a tese e julga-se pertinente à reproduÃÃo e viabilidade do mÃtodo proposto, a ser desenvolvido em outros cenÃrios da saÃde da crianÃa, vislumbrando a ampliaÃÃo do nÃmero de enfermeiros nesta prÃtica e, conseqÃentemente, inserÃÃo na prevenÃÃo da cegueira na infÃncia. / In Brazil, the red reflex test used with newborns (NB) has helped prevent Child Blindness with multiprofessional participation, including the nurseâs. In CearÃ, teaching and practice in nursing care is object of study, and one aims to use this last one in the area of children ocular health. Believing in the creation and application of an educational technology focused on the practice of the red reflex test and in the care to the NB and that the knowledge of aspects inherent in the red reflex test in children allow the creation of technical-scientific skills, one aimed to evaluate an educational method for the practice of nursing care and, specifically, test it for the nurse development, besides verifying the facilities and difficulties to do it, in the professionalâs point of view. Itâs an evaluating, quantitative study, developed in a reference maternity situated in Fortaleza, Cearà with assistance nurses, in the neonatal area and in the Nursing Department of Federal University of Cearà from July/2006 through March/2007, subdivided in three phases: preparatory, operational and evaluation, using instruments and specific materials for each one of them. For the red reflex test one used a lantern, a direct ophthalmoscope and a color gradient. The data were presented in tables, charts and graphics through descriptive and inferential statistics. On used, average, qui-square test, Phi test for accordance, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and the test of maximum verosimilarity and, one established a significance level of 5%. 16 nurses participated. Fifteen nurses came from public teaching institutions. Eight had between 1 and 5 years of experience in neonatology. Twelve informed they did not know about ocular problems in NB, 11 did not have access to publications about the theme and 14 showed interests about the RRT. One conducted 240 evaluations, each one composed by 12 items, evaluated as âadequateâ or âinadequateâ. As to those classified as âadequateâ, the minimum sum was 134 (69.7%) and maximum of 192 (100%). As to the absolute value of items conducted properly, no evaluation was composed by less than 6 items. Starting from the 13rd evaluation, the nurses conducted properly 100% of the items. The results of RRT were considered as normal in all evaluations and one noticed the predominance of the orange aspect (the reflex color) in 164 (62.2%) of them. Concerning the gradient identified, one verified an accordance coefficient between the examiners of Phi=4.47 and p=0.0001, when comparing the groupsâ results in a general way. Similar data was also found when looking for the correlation between the researcher and the nurses during the evaluations. Nine nurses said the biggest facility is the theoretical approach and the difficulty (12) is the non visualization of leucocory. The data confirm the thesis presented and one judges pertinent to the reproduction the viability of the method proposed, to be developed in other sceneries of childâs health, aiming to increase the number of nurses in this practice and, consequently, their insertion in the prevention of blindness in childhood.

[pt] Pessoas presas a olhar imagens projetadas e chamando-as de realidade. O discurso alegórico atravessa o tempo e é presença constante em diversos momentos da história cultural. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os pontos de toque e de distância entre a alegoria da caverna de Platão e Ensaio sobre a cegueira de José Saramago. Neste trabalho analiso as possíveis relações entre as alegorias, sustentado pelas aproximações entre literatura, história e filosofia. Me interessa revelar de que forma os autores se apropriam do recurso alegórico e de referências próximas para construir o sentido de seus pensamentos. O trabalho faz uso de referenciais propostos por Wolfgang Iser, através de seus atos de fingir, as definições de alegoria propostas por João Adolfo Hansen e Flávio Kothe, e dialoga com a obra de Luiz Costa Lima. Em Platão, para além da alegoria, analisa a questão do simulacro proposto por Gilles Deleuze e de que forma admite-se o discurso alegórico em uma teoria que pretende neutralizar a dobra da palavra. Em Saramago, analisarei de que forma a visão marxista de ideologia aparece nas situações narradas pelo autor no romance. Por fim, demonstro em que pontos o exposto em Ensaio sobre a cegueira admite a possibilidade de uma alegoria hermenêutica da caverna platônica. / [en] Prisioners looking at projected images and calling them reality. The allegorical speech crosses the time and is a constant presence at different moments of the cultural history. This work aims to analyze the points of touch and distance between the Plato s cave and José Saramago Blindness. In this paper we analyze the possible relationship between allegories, supported by the similarities between literature, history and philosophy. I m interested in revealing how the authors appropriate the allegorical feature and nearby references to build the sense of their thoughts. The work makes use of reference proposed by Wolfgang Iser, through its pretending acts, the definitions of allegory proposed by João Adolfo Hansen and Flavius Kothe, and converses with the work of Luiz Costa Lima. In Plato, besides the allegory, it examines the question of the simulacrum proposed by Gilles Deleuze and how it is assumed the allegorical speech in a theory which aims to neutralize the words dubiety. In Saramago, analyze how the Marxist view of ideology appears in the situations narrated by the author. Finally, we show that the points set out in Blindness admits the possibility of a hermeneutic allegory of Plato s cave.

The aim of the diploma thesis is to evaluate the influence of the sensory adaptation on postural balance of persons between 10 - 20 years old. The measurement of postural balance on stabilometric desc without visual control in postural situations in different difficulty with and without light touch. For this study 10 blind probands and 10 probands without visual impairment are tested. We expect that blind ones will show better results in all of tested COP parameters in all postural situations than control group because of sensory adaptation. Keywords postural stability, static balance, visual impairment, blindness, sensory adaptation

The main goal of this diploma thesis is detailed presentation of the banner advertising, explaining key terms associated with this phenomenon and introduction to the history, actual situation and also the new trends in this area. Part of this thesis is introducing of banner advertising as a part of wider context of internet marketing, historical development and description of the banner formats or measuring of banner efficiency using specific methods like click-through rate or dwell rate. In my thesis is also included topic of the banner blindness or the current trends like behavioral advertising or HTML5 ads and using the banners on new platforms (mobile pages or social sites). I am also presenting some recommendations based on existing theoretical studies, practical research and also on my own working experiences. Using these recommendations should improve the efficiency of banner campaigns.

The collection of equality data, and more specifically race and ethnicity data, as a means to prevent discrimination is a common practice in many countries around the world. Through anonymous and voluntary surveys people are regularly asked to self-identify according to a number of categories such as gender, age and ethnic background. In Sweden, however, we rely on the population register as the only source for gathering statistics in order to conduct research on different social groups. From the register you can access information regarding age, gender and geographics but no data can be collected concerning categories like sexual orientation, religious beliefs, disabilities, ethnicity and race. According to some, this creates an obstacle in the fight against racism, in that it is impossible to successfully fight oppression without knowing which people it affects and how. According to others, it is ethically indefensible and even racist to collect such information about individuals. In recent years several political proposals have been made from left wing parties calling for the introduction of equality statistics in Sweden. These proposals have been met by heavy criticism and some rare appraisal. Within the academic field, researchers Tobias Hübinette and the research group Methodological Laboratories represent two different positions in the discussion about equality data. This essay aims to examine these positions as well as the general debate in relation to theories about critical whiteness studies in a Swedish context, the historic evolution of the concept of race in Sweden and the Swedish ideology of colour blindness.

Variable speed limits (VSL) are used more commonly around the globe lately. Although on a macroscopic level positive effects of VSLs have been reported, the caveat is that the impact of VSLs is very sensitive to the level of driver compliance. Thus far it is unknown whether all individual drivers are actually able to notice when a speed limit changes into another speed limit; a prerequisite for purposeful speed limit compliance in the first place. To simulate regular driving conditions, twenty-four participants were familiarised with a particular route by driving the same route in a driving simulator nineteen times on five separate days. Part of the route consisted of a motorway where VSL signs were regularly displayed above every driving lane. At drive nineteen, speed limits changed from 80 km/h to 100 km/h on four out of eight consecutive signs. After passing all signs, one expects 6.25% of the participants still to be unaware that the speed limit had increased (based on chance), while the results showed most participants had failed to notice the speed limit change (58.3%). Instead, they saw what they expected to see: a speed limit of 80 km/h. If the speed change had been vice versa, in other words from 100 km/h to 80 km/h, this would immediately result in speed offences, though not deliberately at all.

Den här studien syftar till att synliggöra hur elevassistenter som arbetar hos elever med synnedsättning upplever sitt uppdrag och yrkesroll. Studien utgår från en fenomenologisk ansats och tidigare forskning. Studiens resultat grundar sig på elevassistentens berättelser om sina upplevelser och erfarenheter. Fenomenologin står fast vid att respondentens upplevelser och erfarenheter är det som är i fokus i studien. Studien har genomförts med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Respondenterna kontaktades av syncentralen eller fått information från specialpedagogiska skolmyndigheterna om studiens syfte och mål. Studien bygger på berättelser från fyra elevassistenter om deras upplevelser och erfarenheter kring uppdraget samt yrkesrollen. Resultatet visar på oklara förhållanden gällande elevassistentens uppdrag och yrkesroll i skolans verksamhet. Det framgår att elevassistenterna huvudsakligen arbetar med hjälpmedel, syntolkning eller lärarens arbetsuppgifter. I det framgår även att skolledningen behöver utveckla sin kunskap kring elevassistentens uppdrag och yrkesroll hos elever med synnedsättning. Fortbildning både efterfrågas och behövs inom hela denna verksamhet. / This study aims to highlight how student assistants working with students with visual impairment perceive their assignment and professional role. The study is based on a phenomenological approach and previous research. The study results are based on the student assistant's stories about their impressions and experiences. The phenomenology firmly holds that the respondent's impressions and experiences are in the focus of the study. The study was conducted with semi-structured interviews. The respondents were contacted by the vision center or received information from the special education school authorities about the purpose and objectives of the study. The study is based on stories from four student assistants about their impressions and experiences regarding the assignment and the professional role. The results show ambiguous relationships regarding student assistant assignments and professional role in school activities. It can be seen that the student assistants mainly work with aids, visual interpretation or the teacher's tasks. It is also evident that the school management needs to develop their knowledge regarding the assignment and the professional role of the student assistant for students with visual impairment and continuing education is needed throughout the operations.
