This thesis addresses the possibilities and limitations of Rorschach Inkblot Method in the psychological assessment of preferential rapists. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the general characteristics of paraphilias, introduces the contemporary theories on sexual aggression and rape, and presents selected studies related to the use of RorschachInkblot Method (using Exner's Comprehensive System) in the research of paraphilias. The empirical part focuses on my research project. I have theoretically deduced variables and composites and subsequently compared them with the normative values the CS reference populations. I have also analysed the number of criterions of the Banality Profile (of psychopathy), which were fulfilled by the sample of the sexual offenders. Then I have analysed the sequence of the clusters according to the most prominent key variable among the subjects that were the most clinically disturbed. I have found statistically significant differences between the rapists and the normative population in several variables. The most prominent ones were associated with the interpersonal perception, and mediation. I have also showed that the psychopathy profile (Banality Profile) is only partially suitable for characterization of preferential rapists. Through the analysis of the...

A presente tese busca estabelecer relações entre as práticas participativas institucionalizadas no Brasil, no recente período democrático, e o desenvolvimento em suas dimensões econômica, social, jurídica e política, com ênfase em seu caráter inclusivo ou distributivo, além de sustentável. Este é o modelo de desenvolvimento referido aqui como abrangente, ressaltando, ainda, que neste conceito as diferentes dimensões e atributos do desenvolvimento são considerados não como etapas sucessivas ou causais, mas como elementos constitutivos que se complementam em favor de uma integridade conceitual. Por sua vez, as práticas participativas aqui consideradas são as que se desenrolam em instâncias híbridas que pertencem tanto ao Estado como à sociedade civil e por isso são tratadas preferencialmente como interfaces socioestatais. A partir da observação de uma amostra desses arranjos, propõe inicialmente as seguintes questões: (a) a participação social tem contribuído com o Estado na elaboração, implementação e controle de programas e políticas públicas inclusivos e de relevância para o modelo de desenvolvimento proposto? (b) a crescente formalização institucional da participação, tendente a um certo grau de centralização ou coordenação, contribui para a sua racionalidade e efetividade ou pode antes contribuir para a sua burocratização e a descaracterização de sua genuinidade? As hipóteses propostas são a de que a participação potencializa o desenvolvimento abrangente e que este só é realizável como fruto de uma gestão cooperativa entre a estrutura estatal e o conjunto de cidadãos, própria da democracia participativa e que a institucionalização pode contribuir para a racionalidade e organicidade no tratamento dos pactos elaborados nessas instâncias, além de contribuir para a consolidação de um capital social e institucional. / The present thesis seeks to establish relations between the participative practices institutionalized in Brazil, in the recent democratic period, and the development in its economical, social, juridical and political dimensions, emphasizing its inclusive or distributive character, as well as the sustainable one. This is the development pattern here referred to as comprehensive, highlighting, yet, that in such concept the different development dimensions and attributes are considered not as successive or causal stages, but as constitutive elements which complement one another in favor of a conceptual integrity. The participative practices herein considered, in turn, are the ones developed in hybrid instances belonging as much to the State as to the civil society, therefore treated preferably as society/state interfaces. From the observation of a sample of such arrangements, the following questions are initially proposed: (a) has the social participation contributed with the State in the elaboration, implementation and control of public policies and programs which are inclusive and relevant to the development pattern proposed? (b) does the crescent institutional formalization of the participation, prone to a certain degree of centralization or coordination, contribute to its rationality or effectiveness, or can rather contribute to its bureaucratization and loss of authenticity? The hypotheses proposed are that the participation enhances the comprehensive development, which is only feasible as the result of a management in cooperation between State structure and a group of citizens, characteristic of the participative democracy, and also that the institutionalization can contribute to the rationality and organicity in the treatment of pacts elaborated in such instances, as well as contribute to the consolidation of a social and institutional capital.

In Brazil, this insertion has been discussed in recent years in the clinical, scientific and national context, being related to a greater expectation of patient survival, possible reduction of hospital infections, hospitalization time, hospital expenses, and differentiation in integral care of the same. In 2004, the National Oral Health Policy (PNSB), aimed to the expansion of oral health actions in the different levels of care in full. In 2012, Bill nº363 made it mandatory to provide dental care to patients hospitalized and to patients with chronic diseases. And this insertion was reinforced by Resolution of the Federal Council of Dentistry (CFO) nº 162 of 2015. Currently, although most of hospitalized patients is devoid of oral health practices in Brazilian hospitals, dental work in this area is under increasing structuring. This study aims to analyze the dental operation and characterize the profile of patients who were treated by the resident dentist in years 2012 and 2013 in the Medical Clinic of the University Hospital of the Public Health System in Brazil. Through the retrieval of dental records, data were collected on the general characteristics, systemic changes, dental information, lifestyle and frequencies, oral situation in primary care, and dental care. Most patients treated brushed their teeth less than 3 times a day (54.3%) and reported no use dental floss (85.7%), highlighting the presence of biofilm (73.3%) and dental calculus (70.5%). The frequent oral change was denture stomatitis (8.6%), followed by ulcerative lesions (2.9%) and leukoplakia (2.9%). Among the patients treated, it highlight the use of prostheses (25, 7%), and most of all type (12.4%) and had poor hygiene (14.3%). Prior to admission, it was considerable amount of patients seen who had undergone any treatment (15.2%) and who reported had been negative dental experience (15.2%). There was a predominance of patients with the reason for the dental appointment for routine consultation (78.1%) and cardiology (21%) the main specialty of origin of all patients seen. Of total dental conduct and procedures recorded in the medical records of our study, there were oral hygiene guidelines (59%) and referral (1.9%); and they stood out basic periodontal therapy (71.4%), followed by extraction (39%). The predominant attended profile of hypertensive patients (37.1%) and heart problems (34.3%). The results demonstrate that the patients of the Medical Clinic attended had urgent needs relate to self-care of oral health and guidelines regarding care with the prostheses. The dental work was fundamental through oral xi health promotion, emphasizing the Oral Hygiene Guidance and Basic Periodontal Therapy. The characterization of the predominant profile of attended patients suggests the need for strategies to address common risk factors and prevention of chronic non communicable diseases. Moreover, there is need for greater inter-relationship between professionals, and better monitoring of external referrals of treatments, including better data record. All this ratifies the importance of the current and growing field of action of the dental surgeon in hospital environment. / A Odontologia Hospitalar é a área de atuação que visa ao atendimento de pacientes com condições sistêmicas alteradas, com prática altamente especializada através de ações preventivas, diagnósticas, terapêuticas e paliativas em saúde bucal, executadas em ambiente hospitalar, inserido em equipe multidisciplinar. No Brasil, esta inserção vem sendo discutida nos últimos anos no âmbito clínico, científico e político nacional, sendo relacionada a uma maior expectativa de sobrevida dos pacientes, à possível redução das infecções hospitalares, tempo de internação, gastos hospitalares, e diferenciação na assistência integral dos mesmos. Em 2004, com a Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (PNSB), visava-se à ampliação das ações de saúde bucal nos diferentes níveis de atenção, integralmente. Em 2012, Projeto de Lei nº363 tornava obrigatória a prestação de assistência odontológica a pacientes em internação hospitalar e aos portadores de doenças crônicas. E esta inserção foi reforçada pela Resolução do Conselho Federal de Odontologia (CFO) Nº 162 de 2015. Atualmente, apesar de grande parte dos pacientes internados está desprovida de ações em saúde bucal nos hospitais brasileiros, a atuação odontológica neste âmbito está em crescente estruturação. Este estudo tem o propósito de analisar a atuação odontológica e caracterizar o perfil dos pacientes que foram atendidos pelo residente odontólogo nos anos de 2012 e 2013 na Clínica Médica de Hospital Universitário do Sistema de Saúde Pública do Brasil. Através do resgate dos prontuários odontológicos, foram coletados dados sobre as características gerais, alterações sistêmicas, informações odontológicas, hábitos de vida e frequências, situação bucal no primeiro atendimento, e tratamentos odontológicos. A maioria dos pacientes atendidos escovavam os dentes menos que 3 vezes ao dia (54,3%) e relataram não utilizar o fio dental(85,7%), destacando-se a presença de biofilme (73,3%) e cálculo dental (70,5%). A alteração bucal prevalente foi estomatite protética (8,6%), seguidos de lesão ulcerativa (2,9%) e leucoplasia (2,9%). Dentre os pacientes atendidos, destacou-se o uso de próteses (25, 7%), sendo a maioria do tipo total (12,4%) e que apresentaram higiene deficiente (14,3%). Previamente à internação, foi considerável a quantidade de pacientes atendidos que havia se submetido a nenhum tipo de tratamento (15,2%) e que relataram ter passado por experiência odontológica negativa (15,2%). Verificou-se predominância de pacientes com o motivo da consulta odontológica por consulta de rotina (78,1%), sendo a Cardiologia (21%) a principal especialidade de origem do total de pacientes atendidos. Do total de condutas e procedimentos odontológicos registrados nas fichas clínicas do nosso estudo, verificaram-se orientações de higiene bucal (59%) e encaminhamentos externos (1,9%); e destacaram-se ix terapia periodontal básica (71,4%), seguidos de exodontia (39%). O perfil atendido predominante é de pacientes hipertensos (37,1%) e com problema cardíaco (34,3%). Os resultados demonstram que os pacientes da Clínica Médica atendidos apresentaram necessidades prementes no que tange a autocuidados de saúde bucal e orientações quanto aos cuidados com as próteses. A atuação odontológica foi fundamental através de promoção de saúde bucal, destacando-se a Orientação de Higiene Bucal e Terapia Periodontal Básica. A caracterização do perfil predominante do paciente atendido sugere a necessidade de estratégias para lidar com fatores de risco comuns e prevenção de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Além disso, há necessidade de maior inter-relação entre os profissionais, e melhor acompanhamento dos encaminhamentos externos dos tratamentos, incluindo melhor registro de dados. Tudo isto ratifica a importância do atual e crescente campo de atuação do cirurgião-dentista em ambiente hospitalar.

For this, the qualitative approach was used as a methodology which seeks to obtain reliable information to explain in depth the meaning and characteristics of the object of study, based on bibliographic research and documental analysis. Sixteen documents based on the Brazilian Federal Constitution, the Statute of the Child and the Adolescent and the Law on the Guidelines and Bases for the Brazilian Education were searched, which triggered a broader research on the subject. Thus, the analysis had as reference the concept of comprehensive education in the full-day school, which implies the mobilization of educational energies in the modification of the school curriculum model in which the actions foresee the child in its entirety, based on Moll (2010, 2012). To that end, the history of childhood and its place in today's society were studied (ARIÈS, 1975; CORSARO, 2011; STEARNS, 2006), the role of the school (GIRALDELLI, 1996; LIBÂNEO; OLIVEIRA; TOSCHI, 2008; SAVIANI, 2008, 2013) and the school curriculum aspects (SILVA, 1999; SACRISTÁN, 2013; RICHTER & BARBOSA, 2010). By means of these surveys, it was possible to create the articulation needed to analyze the ways throughout which the public policies for childhood are being formed in the sense of providing comprehensive education for children in early childhood education, more specifically for 4-5 year olds, which, after the Law No. 12,796/2013, became part of compulsory basic education. It is concluded that recent studies on childhood had great impact on public policies for early childhood education, highlighting the child in its entirety. It is also observed that the concept of comprehensive education appears in most documents. However, this study emphasizes that, although comprehensive education is foreseen, actions that effectively materialize such education are just a few and do not express the commitment to the democratization and the implementation of comprehensive early childhood education / A presente pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo a escola, a criança e a educação para a infância na perspectiva da educação integral. Para isso, utilizou-se como metodologia a abordagem qualitativa, que visa buscar informação fidedignas para explicar em profundidade o significado e as características em que se encontra o objeto de estudo, a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental. Foram pesquisados 16 documentos, desenvolvidos a partir da Constituição Federal, Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Brasileira, desencadeando, por meio destes, uma pesquisa mais ampla sobre o tema. Desse modo, a análise teve como referência o conceito de educação integral na escola de dia inteiro, que implica na mobilização das energias pedagógicas na modificação do modelo curricular em que as ações preveem a criança na sua integralidade, embasado por Moll (2010, 2012). Para isso, levantou-se a história da infância e seu lugar na sociedade atual (ARIÈS, 1975; CORSARO, 2011; STEARNS, 2006), o papel da escola (GIRALDELLI, 1996; LIBÂNEO; OLIVEIRA; TOSCHI, 2008; SAVIANI, 2008, 2013) e os aspectos curriculares (SILVA, 1999; SACRISTÁN, 2013; RICHTER e BARBOSA, 2010). Através de tais levantamentos, foi possível a articulação necessária para analisar como as políticas públicas para infância estão se formando no sentido de oferecer educação integral para as crianças da educação infantil, mais especificamente às crianças de 4 e 5 anos, idade que passou a fazer parte da educação básica obrigatória a partir da lei nº 12.796/2013. Conclui-se que estudos recentes sobre a infância tiveram grande impacto nas políticas públicas para educação infantil, destacando a criança na sua integralidade. Constata-se, também, que a concepção de educação integral aparece na maioria dos documentos. Entretanto, este estudo ressalta que, apesar da educação integral estar prevista, ações que efetivamente concretizem tal educação são poucas e não expressam o compromisso com a democratização e implantação da educação infantil integral

The purpose of this study was to determine if a difference existed between TCAP scores of students who used the Accelerated Reader (AR) program and students who used Sustained Silent Reading strategy (SSR) as measured by the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP). The variables of grade level (6th, 7th, and 8th), gender, and socioeconomic status (free- or reduced- price meals program) were considered. The population consisted of 108 6th graders who attended a Cocke County school or a McMinn County school in Tennessee. Data were obtained from the TCAP for 3 consecutive years beginning in 2004-2005 for students who completed the tests all 3 years. A t test for independent samples and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine if there was a difference on associations and interactions between variables. The researcher's investigation of the reading achievement of students who used Accelerated Reader and those who used Sustained Silent Reading should assist educators in planning for supplemental reading instruction. The information gathered from this research might be beneficial to other school systems when determining which method of reading instruction to use to increase students' reading achievement. The findings indicated the students who used the Accelerated Reader program had an increase in reading-language arts scale scores for 3 consecutive years. The findings of this study also revealed that gender had no significance on student achievement for 6th graders. The findings did indicate a significant interaction between gender and type of program used during 7th and 8th grades. Females who used the Accelerated Reader program outscored males who used the program. The findings of this study also determined that socioeconomic status had no association with TCAP scores during the 6th, 7th, or 8th grades.

Denna studie handlar om social hållbarhet och om hur fyra olika kommuner i den fysiska planeringen hanterar och metodiskt arbetar med detta ämne. Syftet är att undersöka vilken prioritet som frågor kring social hållbarhet har i den kommunala planeringsprocessen och hur man metodiskt arbetar med dessa frågor. Syftet är också att undersöka den sociala hållbarhetens potentiella koppling till blandstaden. Undersökningen har genomförts genom att studera kommunernas översiktsplaner, utvalda detaljplaner och de policydokument som planerna hänvisar till. Innehållet har sedan analyserats i relation till teorier kring social hållbarhet och blandstaden. Intervjuer med tjänstemän på samhällsbyggnadsenheterna på respektive kommun har också genomförts för att få en bild av hur man i planprocessen hanterar detta. Resultatet visar på att man i kommunernas översiktsplaner på liknande sätt avhandlar ämnet social hållbarhet och att man även har liknande målsättningar och visioner kring ämnet. I de studerade detaljplanerna skiljer sig dock i vilken utsträckning och på vilket sätt social hållbarhet behandlas i planbeskrivningarna. Större planer tenderar att ha större inslag av reflektioner kring planens inverkan på sociala hållbarhetsfrågor, medan många mindre planer inte alls avhandlar ämnet. Genom de intervjuer som genomfördes framkom att planering kring dessa frågor anses svårt och man många gånger inte anser sig ha specifika metoder som kan att påverka den fysiska planeringen. Alternativt anser man inte att kommunen som organisation använder de metoder som finns. De konkreta metoder som kommunerna använde var; markanvisning, medborgardialog och socialkonsekvensanalys. En tjänsteman nämnde att hen personligen använde Göteborgsmatrisen och en annan hade kontinuerliga möten med lokala mäklare för att följa flyttrender bland kommunens invånare. Samtliga tjänstemän talade om "blandstad", om än i varierande termer, som tätt sammankopplat med socialt hållbara städer och samhällen. De reflektioner som resultatet av denna undersökning slutligen genererat handlar om socialkonsekvensanalysens potentiella roll som konkret metod för kommuner att tillämpa men också om ett eventuellt behov av en lagstiftning liknande den som finns för upprättande av en miljökonsekvensbeskrivning. Båda dessa verktyg borde kunna användas på ett analyserande sätt för att värdera och bedöma eventuella åtgärders inverkan på sociala och ekologiska värden. / This bachelor thesis is about social sustainability, more specifically it is about how four different municipal areas handles issues about social sustainability in their spatial planning. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the priority of this topic and which methods that are used to deal with this subject. The purpose is also to investigate the possible connection between social sustainability and mixed use-city. The analysis has been made by studying comprehensive plans, detailed development plans and other documents connected to the plans. The content of these document has then been analyzed in relation to theories about social sustainability and mixed use-city. Municipal officials have been interviewed to get at more nuanced view on how social sustainability is incorporated into the process of planning. The result shows that the four comprehensive plans in a similar way talk about the aims of planning for social sustainability. In the detailed development plans the difference however is significant, varying to what extent and in what way social sustainability is described the planning specification. Bigger plans tend to include the subject in a more extensive way, whilst smaller many plans don't incorporate social sustainability at all. During the interviews many of the officials said that planning for social sustainability is difficult matter and called for more concrete methods, and for the municipality to use the methods available, to affect the spatial planning. The methods used were; land allocation, civil dialogue and social impact assessment. One official mentioned that he/she personally used the Gothenburg-matrix and another had regular meetings with local brokers. All officials talked about mixed use in connection to social sustainability. The conclusion that the result of this analysis finally led to is about the social impact assessment as a suitable method for planning for social sustainability, but also about the potential need for a legislation. Perhaps that could be the way to include social sustainability into the process of planning.

The ability to read is highly valued in American society and important for social and economic advancement. One of the best strategies to prevent reading difficulties is to build basic literacy skills, thereby ensuring that all children are readers early in their educational careers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between third-grade students' oral reading rate and scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. The present study examined the relationship between the independent variables of Curriculum-Based Measurement Reading (R-CBM), ethnicity and socioeconomic status and the dependent variable of performance on the reading portion of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) in 215 third-grade students. The data presented in this study were collected by the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) as part of a larger assessment battery across three school districts and nine elementary schools in Florida. Student demographic variables as well as performance on three different types of oral reading probes (generic, content, and FCAT passages) were investigated in relation to each student's performance on the reading portion of the FCAT. Results of the current study were similar to investigations in other states; the correlations among the R-CBM probes and between all R-CBM probes and FCAT scores were high and statistically significant. These results indicate that student performance on any or all R-CBM probe types can be used to predict FCAT score. Ethnicity and SES were not significant predictors of FCAT score above R-CBM score. Implications for educators and specifically school psychologists are discussed including opportunities for school psychologists to train educational personnel in the use of R-CBM. As evidenced by the current study, R-CBM may help identify students who are at-risk for reading failure and FCAT failure so that intensive interventions can be implemented early and student progress frequently monitored.
