Researchers examining clinically-relevant trends for sexual minority women have found evidence of psychological distress and greater utilization of mental health services compared to heterosexually-identified women. However, the results of many research studies with this population have methodological limitations surrounding recruitment of participants, cross-sectional methods, and participant report of clinical services utilized. Few researchers have sought to analyze actual clinical presentation, service utilization, or clinical outcome of sexual minority women in a treatment-setting. This study is an in-depth clinical analysis of 215 sexual minority woman who sought services at a large Midwestern university counseling center over a period of two years and nine months. The analyses conducted allowed for the initial clinical presentation, service utilization, and clinical outcome of sexual minority women to be described and compared to comparative samples of service-seeking female college students. Sexual minority women were found to have a greater incidence of prior suicidality and prior counseling compared to heterosexual women at the same agency. Sexual minority women also reported greater symptoms of social anxiety, eating concerns, and family distress than heterosexual women at the same agency. Of seven examined predictors of service utilization, sexual minority identity label, age, and academic term of service initiation differentiated brief and extended service utilization from moderate service utilization. Prior use of counseling, psychological distress, racial-ethnic minority status, and time in the semester of initiation of services were not significant predictors of service utilization. Implications and limitations of these findings are presented, and future directions for research and intervention are discussed.

Com o intuito de elaborar uma reflexão acerca do sujeito e sua relação com mundo globalizado, retomamos os estudos de Hall (2000), de Silva (2000) e de Bauman (2005), chamando atenção para a questão indissociável entre língua e identidade. Na conjuntura pósmoderna, os meios tecnológicos de comunicação deram velocidade não só ao modo como se produz informação, mas também dinamizaram a propagação de conteúdo de toda sorte, na internet, por meio de traduções. No que diz respeito à questão da tradução, nesta pesquisa, apoiamo-nos nos trabalhos de Arrojo (1986; 1996), de Rodrigues (2006; 2008) e de Crépon (2004), para pensarmos o papel da tradução enquanto discurso que sustenta a “prática da diferença”. Com relação à tradução jornalística, discorremos sobre as transformações que tais textos apresentam, transformações motivadas por fatores não só estilísticos, mas também e, principalmente, culturais, políticos, econômicos e ideológicos sobre os quais, na maioria das vezes, o tradutor não tem nenhum controle. Para tanto, destacamos os trabalhos de Guerrero (2004; 2006; 2008), de Zipser e Polchlopek (2009), de Bielsa e Bassnett (2009), de Moreno (2003), entre outros. Evidenciamos em nossa análise a importância dos títulos jornalísticos para a interpretação e a memorização da reportagem, em especial quando se trata de títulos jornalísticos disponibilizados em ambiente digital, em que a circulação de notícia é constante. No que se refere à problemática dos títulos, são referências importantes para esta pesquisa os estudos de Van Dijk (1992/2010), de Guimarães (1993) e de Coracini (1989). Quanto aos elementos constitutivos do discurso midiático, retomamos as ideias de Charaudeau (2015), ressaltando como os recursos linguísticos dos títulos foram traduzidos e, muitas vezes, adicionados à tradução. Partimos do pressuposto que tais procedimentos são colocados em cena a fim de atender às políticas de redação do portal UOL e também (re)direcionar os títulos de acordo com o perfil do leitor brasileiro. Dessa forma, uma nova abordagem dos fatos noticiados é revelada, veiculando sempre outras re(a)presentações dos acontecimentos. / This essay aims to demonstrate how the headlines of the Le Monde newspaper translated by the UOL portal can (re)direct the interpretations of the news coverage. Furthermore, such translations may propagate "biased" representations of the ‘other’ by reinforcing stereotypes and pre-concepts of those involved in the facts reported. With the purpose of elaborating a reflection about the subject and its relationship with the world, this essay focuses on the studies of Hall (2000), Silva (2000) and Bauman (2005), drawing attention to the inseparability between language and identity. In this postmodern conjuncture, the technological means of communication accelerated not only how information is produced, but also the dynamics of dissemination of content of all sorts on the internet through translations. With regard to translations, this essay supports the work of Arrojo (1986); Rodrigues (2006, 2008) and Crépon (2004) about the role of translation as a discourse that underpins the "practice of difference". The analysis also focuses on the transformations that these texts present, and how they are motivated by factors not only related to stylistics, but also, and mainly, to cultural, political, economic, and ideological issues that in most cases the translator has no control over. On this matter, the argument is supported by the works of Guerrero (2004; 2006; 2008), Zipser and Polchlopek (2009), Bielsa and Bassnett (2009), Moreno (2003), among others. In the analysis, it is highlighted the importance of the headlines for the interpretation and memorization of the news report, especially for those available online, where the circulation of information is continuous. With regard to the headlines, this essay focuses on the studies of Van Dijk (1992/2010), Guimarães (1993) and Coracini (1989). As for the constitutive elements of the media discourse, the ideas of Charaudeau (2015) are particularly referenced, emphasizing how linguistic resources of the headlines have often been added to the translation. It seems that this practice meets the editorial policy of the UOL portal and also (re)directs the headlines according to the profile of the Brazilian reader. In this way, a new approach of the reported facts is revealed, always showing other (re)presentations of events.

Os fibrócitos foram inicialmente identificados pelo seu recrutamento rápido para os tecidos lesionados e por atuar diretamente na resposta imune através do reconhecimento, apresentação antigênica e produção de citocinas e quimiocinas. Segundo Grab (2004) fibrócitos podem participar da resposta imune na leishmaniaose e por isso no presente estudo propomos analisar a resposta celular e apresentação antigênica dos fibrócitos na infecção por L. (L.) amazonensis. Para os experimentos in vivo camundongos C57BL/6 e knockout para o receptor TLR-2 foram inoculados na derme auricular com 105 formas promastigotas de L. (L.) amazonensis e 1, 7, 15 dias após a infecção as regiões de inóculo e os linfonodos foram retirados e processados para citometria de fluxo. Para os experimentos in vitro fibrócitos foram obtidos de mononucleares do sangue periférico de camundongos C57BL/6. Os fibrócitos foram avaliados quanto às suas características morfológicas e fenotípicas, infecção, expressão de MHC-II/B7-1/B7-2 e ativação de linfócitos T CD4+. As análises na região de inóculo mostraram o aumento no percentual de fibrócito na derme de camundongos após 15 dias de infecção tanto em animais C57BL/6 quanto em animais KO TLR-2. Neste sítio, os fibrócitos produziram citocinas e expressaram MHC-II, B7-1 e B7-2 podendo participar da resposta imune. As análises no linfonodo mostraram a existência de um alto percentual de fibrócitos nos animais controle, contudo, após infecção este percentual foi reduzido. Após infecção verificamos que os fibrócitos de animais WT C57BL/6 foram capazes de produzir as citocinas IL-4, IL-10 e IFN- durante o primeiro dia. Entretanto, na ausência de TLR-2 os fibrócitos presentes no linfonodo produziram TNF-α e IFN- que podem estar relacionadas com a ativação celular e aumento da capacidade de apresentação antigênica destas células durante a infecção. No linfonodo verificamos que os fibrócitos podem participar da apresentação antigênica após a infecção por L. (L.) amazonensis. Contudo, nos linfonodos de animais WT C57BL/6 observamos a redução significativa no percentual destas células expressando MHC-II e B7-1, o que pode estar relacionada a presença do TLR-2. Nos ensaios in vitro fibrócitos de camundongos C57BL/6 apresentaram alta capacidade endocítica, eliminaram os parasitas nas primeiras 24 horas de infecção, expressaram MHC-II/B7-1/B7-2 e foram capazes de ativar linfócitos T CD4+. Com isso, nossos resultados sugerem que os fibrócitos podem atuar na resposta celular e na apresentação antigênica durante a infecção por L. (L.) amazonensis, contudo estas funções podem ser moduladas pela participação do TLR-2 e pelo microambiente onde estes se encontram. / Fibrocytes were initially identified by their fast recruitment to the injured tissues and by acting directly on the immune response through recognition, antigen presentation and production of cytokines and chemokines. According to Grab et al., 2004 fibrocytes may participate in the immune response to leishmaniasis and therefore, in this study we propose to examine the cellular response and antigen presentation of fibrocytes in infection by L. (L.) amazonensis. In vivo experiments C57BL/6 and knockout receptor TLR-2 animals were inoculated in the ear dermis with 105 promastigotes of L. (L.) amazonensis and 1,7, 15 days after infection ears and lymph nodes were removed and processed for flow cytometry. For in vitro experiments peripheral blood fibrocytes from C57BL/6 mice were evaluated for their morphological and phenotypic, MHC-II/B7-1/B7-2 expression and ability to activate CD4+ T cells. The analyses in the inoculum region showed significant increase in the percentage of fibrocyte in the C57BL/6 and TLR-2 knockout mice after 15 days of infection. At this site fibrocytes part of the immune response by cytokines production and MHC-II, B7-1 and B7-2 expression. The analyses in the lymph node showed the existence of a high percentage of fibrocytes in the control animals, however, after infection, this percentage was reduced. After infection it was verified that the fibrocytes of C57BL/6 were able to produce cytokines IL-4, IL-10 and IFN- during the first days. However, in the absence of TLR-2 fibrocytes in the lymph produced TNF-α and IFN- that may be related to cell activation and increased antigen presentation capacity of these cells during infection. In the lymph node it was found that fibrocytes may participate in antigen presentation after infection with L. (L.) amazonensis. However, in lymph nodes of mice C57BL/6 it was observed the significant reduction in the percentage of those cells expressing MHC-II, B7-1, which can be related to the presence of the TLR-2. In vitro fibrocytes of C57BL/6 showed high endocytic capacity, eliminating the parasites within the first 24 hours after infection, and expressed MHC-II/B7-1/B7-2 being were able to activate CD4 + T cells. Thus, our results suggest that fibrocytes may act in cellular response and antigen presentation during infection by L. (L.) amazonensis, however these functions can be modulated by the involvement of TLR-2 and the in microenvironment.

A partir do tema da apresentação de pacientes, este trabalho dedica-se a pensar as relações existentes entre subjetividade, sofrimento psíquico e o saber que se constrói sobre os mesmos. Resgatar a história de tal dispositivo clínico permitiu a construção de uma interlocução interessante com as bases epistêmicas das duas principais áreas de conhecimento sobre as psicopatologias: psiquiatria e psicanálise. A necessidade de refletir sobre a questão polêmica da exposição de um paciente a um público, ou seja, da colocação do mesmo enquanto objeto na apresentação, permitiu o recorte de um ângulo fundamental, para que se possa refletir sobre as aproximações e distanciamentos existentes entre essas duas áreas do saber, bem como as consequências que delas derivam. A discussão sobre o lugar e a função da imagem na relação do homem com a linguagem mostrou estar no cerne desta questão. Nesse contexto, busca-se evidenciar a diferença produzida por Freud ao derivar do Cogito ergo sum para o Wo es war soll ich werden, movimento que resgata da exclusão o sujeito do inconsciente, a partir do estabelecimento de uma outra relação com as imagens. É nessa direção que Lacan faz das apresentações psicanalíticas de pacientes um lugar de reedição do movimento freudiano e onde o estabelecimento da direção da cura do paciente e a transmissão do que há de mais precioso à psicanálise se fazem possíveis. / Since the subject of mental patient presentation, this study intend to ponder about the relationship between subjectivity, psychical suffering and the knowledge built over them. To rescue the history of such clinical device allowed the conception of an important interlocution to the epistemic basement of the two most important areas of knowledge about psychopathologies: psychiatry and psychoanalysis. The necessity of been reflecting about the polemic question that is the patient exposition to an audience, it means, to place it as an object at a show, have allowed the construction of a specific point of view which is fundamental to make possible to reflect about the approach and the severances between these two areas of the knowledge, as so the consequence originating of them. The discussion about the image place and function as regard the relationship between the human been and the language have shown to be in the inn of this question. In this context, the intention is to emphasize the difference that Freud make possible when he derived from Cogito ergo sum to Wo es war soll ich warden. Such movement is what makes possible the ransom of the subject of the unconscious. That is in such direction that Lacan accomplish his patient presentations and makes of this activity the place to reprint Freudian work. In that sense the psychoanalytical patient presentation turns possible the cure direction setting and psychoanalysis transmission.

Article 12 of The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child grants each young person the right to express their view, have their opinion considered and have their say in decisions that affect them. Previous research on talent development in sport has however failed to recognise the voice of the young person or regard the participant as an autonomous agent. This study employed phenomenological enquiry to focus on the conditions of lived reality to afford the young person the opportunity to convey their unique experience. The aim of the research was to employ a participatory approach to explore the essence of young people's conscious experience of Talent Development Programmes in sport. My co-collaborators were eight young people aged between 13 and 17, (two females: netball and gymnastics, and six males: rugby 3, discus, angling, and badminton), who all attended the same school and were all members of a Sports National Governing Body Talent Development Programme. Over twelve months each participant utilised their individual preference to communicate depictions of self, drawing upon interview, conversation, Twitter, video, photo and observation of training and performance. Results were presented in the form of individual vignettes generated from researcher and participant interaction and constructed according to hermeneutical interpretation. Young people’s stories reveal the essence of talent development through the experience of uncertainty and endeavour; talent development experience teaches young people to self-present in response to perceived injustice; and individual progress is characterised by self-regulation and the pursuit of personal empowerment. The research demonstrates that when young people are involved in active decision making about their learning and their lives they feel better respected and understood. Academics and practitioners must now accept a responsibility to engage with the unique lived experience of the young person’s reality to find better ways to listen to the young person’s voice to support their talent development experience in sport.

In this study, we investigate pupils’ perceptions in Swedish 3 of the allocation of time of the Canons of Rhetoric when working with oral presentations. We also investigate which relations that exist between pupils’ perceptions of the allocation of time of the Canons of Rhetoric and perceptions of knowledge of the Canons of Rhetoric as well as perceptions of their oral presentation. The study was conducted via a questionnaire and carried out among 245 pupils. Raw data has been analysed to determine the descriptive statistics of the allocation of time of the Canons of Rhetoric and tests for statistical significance have been performed to determine the effects that the allocation of time has on pupils’ perceptions of their oral presentation. We have analysed our results by the use of the cognitive and the socio-cultural perspective. Results show that pupils feel that no phase is given sufficient time and that they believe the three first phases to be higher prioritised than the remaning phases. The amount of class hours is of importance to the perceived knowledge of the Canons of Rhetoric, how easy pupils find it creating a presentation, their sense of preparation and the perceived development as a speaker. Regarding response, emendatio, the time for teacher response does not show any significant correlation to pupils’ perceptions of their oral presentation. If peer response is given before presentations, it has a positive effect on pupils’ satisfaction with the presentation, but has otherwise no influence. In addition, teachers’ scaffolding seems to have a larger effect on pupils’ perceptions of their oral presentation than teacher and peer response. Finally, self-assessment occurs to a low extent and is shown to affect the knowledge of the Canons of Rhetoric and how easy it is creating a presentation in a positive manner.

This diploma thesis deals with the gender presentation in textbooks of German used by pupils at Czech grammar schools. The main part of this thesis consists of a gender analysis of two textbook series; one of them was created by mainly Czech authors, another one was created by German authors. The aim of the thesis is to verify the hypothesis that Czech textbooks are more conservative in the conception of male and female image than the German textbooks.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to prepare and try to present and practise vocabulary in practice using a interactive whiteboard. Vocabulary topics are based on RVP (FEP) and designed for 6th grade of elementary school. A textbook Way to Win 6 is used as a source and basic material for the topics. This textbook comes precisely from RVP (FEP). I have prepared presentations and practices on the basis of professional literature which are methodically correct. These presentations and practices are connected with a meaning and a spoken and written form of each word. Pupils will be able to use this vocabulary actively after practising.

abstract: Frequency effects favoring high print-frequency words have been observed in frequency judgment memory tasks. Healthy young adults performed frequency judgment tasks; one group performed a single task while another group did the same task while alternating their attention to a secondary task (mathematical equations). Performance was assessed by correct and error responses, reaction times, and accuracy. Accuracy and reaction times were analyzed in terms of memory load (task condition), number of repetitions, effect of high vs. low print-frequency, and correlations with working memory span. Multinomial tree analyses were also completed to investigate source vs. item memory and revealed a mirror effect in episodic memory experiments (source memory), but a frequency advantage in span tasks (item memory). Interestingly enough, we did not observe an advantage for high working memory span individuals in frequency judgments, even when participants split their attention during the dual task (similar to a complex span task). However, we concluded that both the amount of attentional resources allocated and prior experience with an item affect how it is stored in memory. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.
