Métodos Inquérito epidemiológico de base escolar com amostra representativa de 495 alunas de 14 a 18 anos de idade, estudantes de escolas de ensino médio regular diurno, avaliadas nos meses de outubro de novembro de 2004. Alterações posturais foram definidas como alterações das curvas fisiológicas da coluna vertebral, identificadas através de avaliação postural não-invasiva. Resultados a prevalência de alterações posturais laterais foi de 66% (IC95%: 61,5-70,0) e de alterações posturais ântero-posteriores de 70% (IC95%: 65,2-73,5). A prevalência de alterações laterais foi maior nas alunas com IMC normal (RP: 1,32; IC95%: 1,09-1,59) e nas que assistem mais de 10 horas de televisão por sema / Objectives to estimate the prevalence of lateral and antero-posterior postural alterations on female adolescents in the city of São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the year of 2004. Verify if socio-economic, demographic, anthropometric and behavioral factors are associated with those postural alterations. Methods School-based epidemiological investigation with a representative sample of 495 female students aged 14-18 years, who attend elementary night school and were evaluated from October to November 2004. Postural alterations were defined as alterations of the physiological curvatures of the vertebral column, identified through noninvasive postural evaluation. Results the prevalence of lateral postural alterations corresponded to 66% (CI95%: 61,5-70,0) and the antero-posterior postural alterations to 70% (CI95%: 65,2-73,5). The prevalence of lateral alterations was higher for the students with normal BMI (PR: 1,32; CI95%: 1,09-1,59) and for those who watched television for more than 10 hours a week

The research is a qualitative exploration of perceptions of adolescent mental health and collaborative working concerning this. There are rising numbers of young people with difficulties relating to mental health and a need to develop closer links between services and schools has been identified (Department for Education, 2015b). However, there is not enough known about how agencies work together, despite their differences, in order to effectively support adolescent mental health. Part one utilised semi structured interviews to explore, in depth, how, educational psychologists (EPs), Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) professionals and secondary school staff view adolescent mental health with regards to issues, practices, collaboration and how they view their own and other’s roles in supporting young people with mental health difficulties. Part two consisted of discussion groups guided by the use of vignettes, in order to explore the ways in which, EPs, CAMHS professionals and secondary school staff problem solve both in their own professional group and in a multi-agency group to explore the commonalities and differences in this. Findings from part one indicate that there are differences in perceptions of adolescent mental health across these three groups, with particular regards to their own and each other’s roles. Further to this findings indicate a lack of a shared understanding, characterised by a level of departmentalism. Findings from part two indicate that there are significant differences between the way in which schools, EPs and CAMHS professionals make sense of cases and in the way in which they work in their own professional group compared to how they work in multiagency groups. There were also indications that the differences that were found between groups in both part one and two, actually worked to increase the effectiveness of the approach in the multiagency groups, creating an enhanced and richer understanding of the problem given. Overall findings indicate that although on the surface thinking appears similar there are significant differences in thinking across EPs, CAMHS and schools in this area. Implications and recommendations for practice include; developing clarity and transparency regarding roles and fostering closer links by developing a shared understanding through opportunities for joint training.

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de natureza qualitativa de cunho compreensivista sustentada pelos pressupostos do Interacionismo Simbólico e conceitos mais significativos da Microssociologia do quotidiano de Michel Maffesoli que propõe a razão sensível. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de setembro de 2007 até outubro de 2008. Foram estudadas duas famílias, com histórico de violência intrafamiliar, a primeira, foi um caso de violência física e a segunda um de violência sexual, conforme boletins de ocorrências selecionados aleatoriamente nas Delegacias do estudo: DERCA, DEAM e Liberdade, do município de Salvador-Ba. Como instrumentos de coleta foram utilizados formulários com questões fechadas e espaço para descrição do fato e um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturada com questões abertas. Os dados quantitativos obtidos através do formulário serviram para elaboração de um panorama epidemiológico caracterizando tipos de violência sofrida e praticada por adolescentes negros e seus familiares, considerando como variável independente a violência e as variáveis dependentes: cor, sexo, idade, tipos, natureza da violência, características do agressor e da vítima. Dos dados qualitativos emergiu como eixo central: Quotidiano de adolescentes negros em situação de violência familiar, as categorias: Habitus essencial da existência: a cotidianidade e o estilo de vida do adolescente negro e sua família; Violência e laços de socialidade familiar no quotidiano do adolescente negro e O que está por trás da imagem? O mundo imaginal do adolescente e sua família sobre ser negro e subcategorias: Quotidiano que se mostra como uma repetição, Não há tempo para brincadeira Um Quotidiano de trabalho, Tem que trabalhar e estudar, Ter trabalho é ter potência, Ter trabalho digno e prazeroso, Violência (racista) no Quotidiano de trabalho, Bater e Apanhar faz parte do quotidiano, Violência no quotidiano familiar e Apoio e proteção familiar, Negação étnica, Branqueamento e Racismo/sexismo , tendo sido adotada a análise de discurso para demonstrar o processo de viver, experiências, estilo de vida e as interações entre os adolescentes negros e seus familiares, cujos discursos apontam imagens, imaginário, símbolos e significados que nos fazem concluir o quão é difícil para adolescentes negros enfrentar/conviver com a violência; ao mesmo tempo em que confirma-se a tese de que o racismo influencia o processo de construção da violência nas relações familiares e sociais dos adolescentes negros, tornando-os vulneráveis. / Salvador

Title: The level of physical activity during the week in adolescent football players Author: Bc. Marek Vait Head of work: Mgr. Jakub Kokštejn, Ph.D. Aim: The aim of the research was to determine the level of physical activity (PA) in the weekly mode with teenage football players in the junior category (16 - 17 years old) and older adolescents (18 - 19 years old). At the same time to evaluate the level of the PA in relation to selected health recommendations for the size of the PA. Methods: In the research participated a total of n = 66 players (players younger junior players n = 36; 15.8 ± 0.8, older adolescents n = 30 players; 17.2 ± 0.75. For testing of selected player were used 25 accelerometers, 14 of them was a type ActiGraph GT3X and 11 type ActiGraph GTM1. The level of PA was observed during seven days. Results: The average daily value of energy expenditure reached in the younger category of 10.9 ± 2.7, with the older 9.1 ± 3.2. Both categories fulfilled health recommendations. In the case of the daily number of steps, both categories have reached the recommended values, the values of the younger reached 13,625 ± 3049 and the older 11061 ± 3873.The average daily value of medium to high intensity PA exceeded both categories used worldwide recommendations for the minimum daily amount of...

Sexually Explicit Internet Movies (SEIM) have emerged as a frequently accessed sexual resource by youth; however, SEIM’s potential influences on youth’s sexual health remains an understudied area. This study aimed to develop crucial insight into what youth perceive to be SEIM consumption’s sexual health influences. Employing an exploratory, constructivist grounded-theory approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Three main findings emerged from the data analysis: 1) Youth experienced SEIM consumption as having interconnected negative and positive sexual health influences; 2) SEIM were utilized by youth as a means to explore both their individual sexual self and the subject of sexuality; 3) Youth perceived SEIM consumption differently in the contexts of individual sexual health versus sexual health promotion. Youth’s perceptions suggest that it would be beneficial to enact more holistic, sex-positive approaches to sexual health promotion, and support the utility of creating alternative, lived experience-based discourses about youth sexual health.
