A study to evaluate variable number tandem repeat DNA polymorphisms in disputed paternity testing

Schlaphoff, Theresa Elizabeth-Anne January 1993 (has links)
Thesis (MDip (Medical Technology))--Cape Technikon, 1993 / The use of genetic marker testing to resolve cases of disputed paternity, is well established. The number and range of systems used depends on the expertise of the laboratory, and for this reason various laboratories offer different systems. Standard testing includes tests in the following genetic marker systems: human leukocyte antigen (tissue) typing; red cell blood groups; and red cell enzyme and serum protein testing. The Provincial Laboratory for Tissue Immunology currently offers a range of 16 genetic marker systems capable of excluding >99% of falsely accused men. Following the discovery DNA polymorphisms, particularly VNTR DNA polymorphisms, and the commercial availability of VNTR DNA probes, PLTI decided to offer this service to our clients. This study was the initial phase in the establishment of a VNTR DNA typing laboratory and covered the determination of inter-and intra-gel accuracy and precision, selection of restriction enzyme/probe combination, and evaluation and comparison of the results of 100 disputed paternity cases tested using both standard and VNTR DNA typing. Of the 100 cases tested, in 33 cases, the putative father was excluded using standard testing. These exclusions were confirmed using VNTR DNA typing, and, furthermore, an additional two exclusions of paternity were shown using only VNTR DNA typing. In another two cases of disputed paternity, the exclusions obtained using standard tests required further confirmation. VNTR DNA typing convincingly excluded both falsely accused putative fathers. The VNTR DNA typing laboratory now functions as an integral part of the disputed paternity service. Due to the cost and time involved in VNTR DNA typing it is reserved at this stage for: those cases which require further confirmation of the results of standard testing; when the probability of paternity is low (<99.7%); or when a specific request is made.

Perspectivas de jovens universitários da região Norte do Rio Grande do Sul em relação à paternidade / Perspectivas del joven universitario de la Región del Medio Alto Uruguay en relación a la paternidad / Perspectives of university young man from the Region of the Uruguay Medium Highlands regarding paternity

Perosa, Cleci Terezinha January 2007 (has links)
A paternidade, como foco de estudos, é investigada, mais freqüentemente, sob a ótica do adolescente pai. Poucas pesquisas têm levado em consideração a visão do homem e do jovem não pai. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo com os objetivos de: conhecer as perspectivas do jovem universitário da Região do Médio Alto Uruguai em relação à paternidade; identificar a visão do jovem em relação à sua criação e educação; identificar como as instituições (família, grupo de amigos, escola) influenciam no seu desenvolvimento e no seu modo de pensar. Foi realizada na Universidade Regional do Alto Uruguai e das Missões, RS, entre agosto e setembro de 2006. Os sujeitos foram oito jovens universitários com idade entre 20 e 24 anos. Os dados foram coletados por meio das técnicas de grupo focal e entrevista individual e analisados mediante a análise temática. Os achados demonstram a importância da família na criação dos jovens; da responsabilidade dessa na construção de suas trajetórias, querem ser pais diferentes do que foram os seus, enfatizam as diferenças da criação de meninos e meninas; que a mídia e a escola apresentam pouca relevância como contribuidoras de modelos. Referem a estabilidade financeira, a presença da mulher e a instituição do casamento como fatores condicionantes para a formação de uma nova família. O estudo traz contribuições para a Educação e para a Enfermagem, identificando a importância da discussão da temática e aprofundamento nas instituições formadoras e, também, em nível de políticas de atenção à saúde física, social e psicológica do homem. / Paternity, as a study focus, is most frequently investigated under the view of the adolescent father. Few researches have taken the points of view of the non-father man and young man into consideration. It is a qualitative study with the objectives of: knowing the perspectives of university young man from the Region of the Uruguay Medium Highlands regarding paternity; identifying the view of the young man regarding his home and school education; identifying how the institutions (family, peers and school) influence his development and way of thinking. It was carried out in the Regional University of the High Uruguay and Mission, Rio Grande do Sul, between August and September 2006. The subjects were eight university students of age ranging between 20 and 24 years old. The data were collected by means of focal group techniques and of individual interview and analyzed by theme analysis. The findings demonstrate the importance of the family in the education of young men; of its responsibility in the construction of their trajectories; they want to become different parents from their own parents; they emphasize the education differences between boys and girls; they state that the media and the school present few relevance as contributors of models. They refer financial stability, the woman presence and the marriage institution as conditioning factors for building a new family. The study brings contributions for education and nursing by identifying the importance of the discussion of this theme and the deepening of the forming institutions in addition to the level of care policies for the physical, social and psychological health of man. / La paternidad, como foco de estudios, es investigada más frecuentemente bajo la óptica del adolescente padre.

Refieren la estabilidad financiera, la presencia de la mujer, la institución del matrimonio como factores condicionantes para la formación de una nueva familia. El estudio trae contribuciones para la Educación y para la Enfermería, identificando la importancia de discutir la temática y el profundizar en las instituciones formadoras y, también, en nivel de políticas de atención a la salud física, social y psicológica del hombre.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Braganca_WelbeOliveira_D.pdf: 5203003 bytes, checksum: 128dd161edb4a5ee7d5a3d88e01d1f47 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: A detecção do polimorfismo do DNA analisando microssatélites (STR - Short Tandem Repeats) ou minissatélites (VNTR - Variable Numbers of Tandem Repeats) pelas técnicas de PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) ou RFLP (Restriction Fragment Lenght Polymorphism) causou um grande impacto e revolucionou a ciência forense. Hoje se pode, com grande precisão, excluir um indivíduo de ser falsamente acusado de uma paternidade ou de um crime. Quando um suspeito não pode ser excluído de ser o pai ou o doador da amostra criminal, o próximo passo é calcular a probabilidade de se observar um outro genótipo igual ao do acusado. Para que isso seja possível selecionam-se aleatoriamente indivíduos na população, avalia-se a raridade do perfil genotípico desta população determinando-se a freqüência de cada alelo encontrado e estima-se a singularidade do DNA do suspeito pela comparação com esta freqüência. Todas estas informações são obtidas a partir de um banco de dados com a mencionada freqüência alélica. No Brasil, atualmente, quando se realiza um exame de investigação de paternidade ou criminalística utilizando-se a análise de VNTR, utiliza-se o banco de dados da população estadunidense contendo o perfil genotípico para esses loci. Para se chegar a uma precisão fidedigna no resultado dos exames seria necessária a utilização de um banco de dados brasileiro, objetivo inicial deste trabalho, o qual deverá ser uma importante ferramenta para a crescente demanda científica e forense no Brasil. Este trabalho descreve o perfil genotípico da população do sudeste do Brasil, gerado por RFLP dos loci de VNTR D1S7, D2S44, D4S139, D5S110, D6S132, D7S467, D8S358, D10S28, D17S26 e D17S79. Os dados populacionais foram obtidos pela digestão enzimática do DNA genômico com HaeIII seguida de eletroforese em gel de agarose e detecção por quimiluminescência. Uma amostra de 351 indivíduos representando a população da região sudeste brasileira foi selecionada nos estados de Minas Gerais, São Paulo e Espírito Santo (Brasil). As freqüências dos alelos estudados foram determinadas a partir desta amostra. Os loci descritos se encontraram em equilíbrio de Hardy-Weinberg. Os dados obtidos foram comparados com o banco de dados de freqüências destes alelos previamente descritos para a população não negróide do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, detectando-se a não semelhança entre as amostras. Foi feita a comparação com o banco de dados de freqüências alélicas de ¿Caucasian¿,¿African american¿,¿Chinese¿,¿SE Hispanics¿ e ¿SW Hispanics¿ dos EUA não se encontrando semelhança entre as amostras. As freqüências alélicas obtidas neste estudo podem ser usadas em análises forenses e investigação de paternidade bem como uma estimativa de freqüência alélica de minissatélites da população brasileira. O banco de dados alélicos, assim constituído, trará a precisão real requerida nas análises forenses e investigações de paternidade, ao contrário das análises que utilizam como referência bancos de dados de populações dos EUA / Abstract: The frequency of the VNTR loci D1S7, D2S44, D4S139, D5S110, D6S132, D7S467, D8S358, D10S28, D17S26 e D17S79 were determined in a sample that contained subjects from the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, Southwest region of Brazil. The data were generated through the digestion of the genomic DNA with HaeIII followed by the analysis by RFLP and chemiluminescent detection. All the loci described meet Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The data obtained were compared with the frequency Database of these alleles previously described for the non-black of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it was detected that there was no match among the samples. It was also made a comparison with the database of allelic frequencies of ¿Caucasian¿, ¿African American¿, ¿Chinese¿, ¿SE Hispanics¿ e ¿SW Hispanics¿ from the USA and no match was found. In conclusion, this work reports a database of distribution of allelic frequencies of VNTR loci for the population of the southwest of Brazil. The frequency data presented might be used in forensic analyses and in paternity investigation in the population of the southwest of Brazil as well as in other populations of Brazil. It was also showed the difference found when selecting the population by races and not by geographic distribution, as well as the importance of the creation of a database of allelic frequencies separated for the different populations. The allelic database, built hereby, will bring the exact required precision in the forensic analyses and paternity inquiries, in contrast with the analyses that use as reference databases from U.S.A. population / Doutorado / Ciencias Biomedicas / Doutor em Ciências Médicas

The father as participant in the breast-feeding: intervention of the nurse during the pregnancy and puerperal period / O pai como partÃcipe no processo da amamentaÃÃo: intervenÃÃo da enfermeira no perÃodo gravÃdico puerperal

Rita Maria Viana RÃgo 18 December 2008 (has links)
nÃo hà / Introduction. In Western society, traditionally, the pregnancy experience, education and health of children is part of the tasks that in the sexual division of labor, belongs to the woman. Also in the process of breastfeeding the father is not included. Objective. This study aimed to evaluate interventions in educational practices experienced by couples in the process of breastfeeding having the as a participant. Methodological path. For understanding and description of this phenomenon, the father as a participant in the process of breastfeeding, it was decided to go beyond a situational diagnosis. It was done a research-action considering that the intention has always been dedicated to discuss with the participants of this study, about values, concepts and beliefs culturally assimilated by the society in relation to the process of breastfeeding, and intending to reflect the possible shift in paradigms. Participated eight couples with their children, followed for eight and six months of life. Before the birth, took place four meetings, after the birth of the child, each family was visited daily for ten consecutive days, and, on average, were visited at their residences 20 times in the six months of childÂs life. Conclusions. In search of the literature, we found that publications are still incipient and probably actions involving the father in the process of breastfeeding. This experience shows that the father may be an important ally, true partner, is essential to credit and encouraging their participation. They demonstrate satisfaction in providing care to children, especially when they realize that their initiatives and attempts to hit are valued by the partner and by health professionals. It is realized that are shy and isolated the initiatives to include the father, especially in public services, where they are sometimes regarded visits. Recommendations. Facing these results, it is recommended that fathers should be invited to attend meetings and individual consultations of his partner during prenancy and childbirth. Relevance. It is believed that this study will guide motivations to activeness of the nurse to promote the involvement of fathers in the promotion of breastfeeding at the primary level, pre-natal, secondary and tertiary in maternity, continuing in homes of families through domiciliary visits / IntroduÃÃo. Na sociedade ocidental, tradicionalmente, vivenciar a gestaÃÃo, educaÃÃo e saÃde dos filhos faz parte das tarefas que, na divisÃo sexual do trabalho, cabe à mulher. TambÃm no processo da amamentaÃÃo o pai nÃo à incluÃdo. Objetivo. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar intervenÃÃes de prÃticas educativas vivenciadas por casais no processo da amamentaÃÃo, tendo o pai como partÃcipe. Caminho metodolÃgico. Para compreensÃo e descriÃÃo desde fenÃmeno, o pai como partÃcipe no processo da amamentaÃÃo, decidiu-se ir alÃm de um diagnÃstico situacional. Realizou-se pesquisa-aÃÃo considerando que a pretensÃo sempre esteve voltada para discutir, juntamente com os participantes deste estudo, acerca de valores, conceitos e crenÃas culturalmente assimilados pela sociedade em relaÃÃo ao processo da amamentaÃÃo, pretendendo refletir na possÃvel mudanÃa de paradigmas. Participaram oito casais com seus filhos, acompanhados durante oito e seis meses de vida. Antes do parto, aconteceram quatro encontros; apÃs o nascimento da crianÃa, cada famÃlia foi visitada diariamente por dez dias consecutivos, sendo que, em mÃdia, foram visitadas em suas residÃncias 20 vezes nos seis meses de vida da crianÃa. ConclusÃes. Na busca da literatura, verificou-se que ainda sÃo incipientes publicaÃÃes e provavelmente aÃÃes que envolvam o pai no processo da amamentaÃÃo. Com esta experiÃncia evidencia-se que o pai pode ser um importante aliado, verdadeiro parceiro, sendo indispensÃvel o crÃdito e o estÃmulo a sua participaÃÃo. Eles demonstram satisfaÃÃo em prestar cuidados aos filhos, principalmente quando percebem que suas iniciativas e tentativas de acerto sÃo valorizadas pela companheira e pelos profissionais de saÃde. VÃ-se que sÃo tÃmidas e isoladas as iniciativas de inclusÃo do pai, principalmente nos serviÃos pÃblicos, em que estes sÃo por vezes considerados visitas. RecomendaÃÃes. Diante destes resultados, recomenda-se que os pais devam ser convidados a participar das reuniÃes e consultas individuais de sua companheira no perÃodo gravÃdico e puerperal. RelevÃncia. Acredita-se que este estudo possa nortear motivaÃÃes no sentido de atuaÃÃo efetiva da enfermeira para promover o envolvimento do pai na promoÃÃo da amamentaÃÃo no nÃvel primÃrio, no prÃ-natal, secundÃrio e terciÃrio nas maternidades, continuando nas residÃncias das famÃlias por meio de visitas domiciliÃrias

To date studies of mating system with species of the genus Podocnemis have been done only with P. expansa. In the present study we developed 18 primer pairs specific to microsatellite regions in P. unifilis, and we tested their transferability to other species of the genus Podocnemis (P. expansa, P. sextuberculata, P. erythrocephala, P. vogli and P. lewyana) and also to Peltocephalus dumerilianus. These microsatellite markers have proven to be powerful molecular tools for investigating mating systems of P. unifilis, P. sextuberculata and P. erythrocephala. Using different microsatellite panels a minimum of two contributing parents were found in nests of P. erythrocephala, and the presence of up to three contributing parents was found in nests of P. unifilis and P. sextuberculata. These results directly contribute to the knowledge of the reproductive system and indirectly to studies related to the impact of management and reproduction in nature as well as in captivity. Moreover, our results will contribute to improvements in captive breeding programs. / Poucos dados estão disponíveis com relação à biologia da reprodução no gênero Podocnemis, mais especificamente com relação ao sistema de reprodução. Até hoje os estudos sobre sistema de reprodução realizados no gênero Podocnemis foram realizados somente com P. expansa. No presente trabalho desenvolvemos 18 iniciadores específicos para regiões microssatélites em P. unifilis, e testamos sua transferibilidade nas outras espécies do gênero Podocnemis (P. expansa, P. sextuberculata, P. erythrocephala, P. vogli e P. lewyana) e também em Peltocephalus dumerilianus. Estes microssatélites apresentaram um grande potencial como marcadores moleculares para investigar o sistema de reprodução em P. unifilis, P. sextuberculata e P. erythrocephala. Utilizando diferentes grupos de locos de microssatélites, encontrou-se o mínimo de dois pais contribuindo para as ninhadas de P. unifilis, e o mínimo de três pais contribuindo para as ninhadas de P. sextuberculata e P. erythrocephala. Esses resultados contribuem diretamente para o conhecimento do sistema de reprodução e indiretamente para estudos relacionados ao impacto de manejo e reprodução tanto na natureza como em cativeiro destas espécies. Além disso, nossos resultados poderão contribuir para um melhoramento nos programas de reprodução em criadouros.

Social work services for the putative father : a review of administration under the Children of Unmarried Parents Act and Vancouver Social Welfare Branch experience, June 1950 - May 1955.

Harder, Ilse Martha Berta January 1956 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to make an assessment of social work services extended to putative fathers as part of the administration of the Children of Unmarried Parents Act. This study was undertaken because comparatively little attention is given to the putative father and services he might need. Because the Social Welfare Branch in Vancouver retains a social worker specially for work under the Children of Unmarried Parents Act, this was a relevant setting for the study. Legislation relative to illegitimacy and paternity in some European countries, in the United States and in British Columbia is reviewed. For the Province Of British Columbia, the administrative setting and the legal framework within which the social worker has to operate is described. A series of cases are then reviewed; first, by comparison of brief service cases and continued service cases; second, by comparison of "co-operative" and "non-co-operative" cases, the latter being reviewed (a) statistically and (b) by case examples. The provisional findings of this study are that these differentials are less important than differences in the circumstances of the clients and the quality of the casework which is possible. The exception that shows up statistically is that working out of a lump-sum settlement needs more than one face-to-face interview. Suggestions for further exploration and methods of improving service are made in a concluding section. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Cesta k otcovství / The Road to Fatherhood

Škvařil, Václav January 2019 (has links)
This master's thesis is focused on the experiences of men with the transition to fatherhood during the pregnancy period of the partner and the first months of the child's life. The aim of the study is to explore their experience with this period and to understand how the father identity is formed in the proces of becoming a father. The theoretical part introduces the topic of generativity as a prerequisite for parenting and psychological concepts focused on the process of becoming a father. It also discusses the subject of becoming a father in terms of different time periods: preparation for parenthood, pregnancy, childbirth and the first year of the child's life. Subsequently, it is described which biological and psychological changes occur in men in the process of becoming a father, and what changes occur in a relationship with a partner. The practical part presents qualitative research of men who have recently become fathers. Semi- structured interviews were conducted to discover their experience. The research is done within the framework of the interpretative phenomenological analysis. Analysis of the interviews has shown that the topic of responsibility and commitment to the child, the formation of father identity, fatherhood and motherhood, changes in the relationship, and the management of...

Stávání se otcem / Becoming a father

Kabancová, Naďa January 2020 (has links)
This master's thesis is focused on the experience of young men with the process of becoming a father from the period of pregnancy planning, or in the case of unplanned parenthood, from finding out the partner's pregnancy to birth and sequent development of the child until his 2 years of age. The aim of this study is to examine and understand how the process of birth of fatherhood and paternal identity takes place in young fathers, first-borns. It is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with the topic of fatherhood from different perspectives. It deals with its changes in the history and current development of fatherhood, the importance of the role of the father in the family and in the various stages of the process of pre-parental and early parental. The practical part presents qualitative research conducted with young men who became fathers for the first time. The research was based on the implementation and content analysis of seven semi-structured interviews with respondents of the sample mentioned above.
