Estes processos seriam os mesmos que organizam a sociabilidade na cultura humana. No caso do movimento cultural surgido no Candeal, podemos observar cruzamentos e interações completamente análogos, indicando a presença dos mesmos processos, agora no nível bem mais complexo que aqueles identificados na natureza sem a cultura. O cruzamento de informações seriam registrados e processados em um plano sígnico, para atém do plano bioquímico (genético) da informação. Haveria, então, nos ensaios que notadamente na publicidade do Candy All Guetho Square uma busca de inocular signo de miscigenação em outros sistema sociais de significação, de modo a reproduzir e ampliar um determinado design subjetivo, isto é, um modo de ser no mundo e suas implicações nos processos de produção, circulação e consumo de informação. / Salvador

A proposta deste estudo foi verificar se existe associação entre a ocorrência de dor articular e/ou muscular na presença de salto condilar, ruídos articulares e limitação na abertura da boca em dois grupos de voluntários: adultos Classe I de Kennedy (grupo I=159) e adultos dentados (grupo II=241). Foram avaliados 1322 prontuários clínicos de pacientes diagnosticados e tratados no CETASE- Centro de Estudos e Tratamento das Alterações Funcionais do Sistema Estomatognático, na Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba - UNICAMP, no período de 1995 a 2004, destes foram selecionados 400 prontuários de pacientes com idades entre 18 e 80 anos. Foram coletados nos prontuários, dados referentes a ruídos articulares, salto condilar, limitação na abertura da boca, com ou sem travamento nos movimentos da mandíbula e dores articulares e/ou musculares. Foi usado o algoritmo ANOVA e aplicada análise de regressão logística com nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados revelaram que a presença de salto condilar e a limitação na abertura da boca estão associadas às dores articulares e/ou musculares e também pode predizer a ocorrência das mesmas nos dois grupos. A presença de ruídos articulares foi associada no grupo II e não influencia quanto ao valor predictivo em nenhum dos grupos testados neste estudo / Abstract: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is an important cause of pain in dentistry. Studies aiming at its etiology, treatment, and prevalence are needed for a more accurate diagnosis of this disease. The aim of this study was (a) to verify the association among articular and/or muscular pain and joint noises, condilar displacement and limited opening in adults - a comparison between two groups of volunteers: Kennedy's Class I (group I) and Molar Occlusion (group II). All the volunteers were treated at the Center of Studies and Treatment for Alterations in the Stomatognathic System (CETASE) at Piracicaba Dental School, University of Campinas - UNICAMP, and (b) to verify whether these signs and symptoms can serve as predictors of muscle and/or joint pains. This study evaluated 422 clinical forms of patients who looked for dental treatment at CETASE between 1995 and 2004. Among these forms, 400 were selected from volunteers aged 18-80 years, 159 were to group I (Kennedy's Class I) and 241 were to group II (volunteers with molar occlusion). Data collection involved information on joint noises, condilar displacement, difficulty with mouth opening and muscle and joint pains. ANOVA's Test and Multiple Logistic Regression (p<0.05) were used for statistical analysis. Results showed that presence of condilar displacement and limited opening are associated with joint and/or muscle pains and can serve as predictors of this kind of pains. The presence of joint noises it is associated with the variables but it can't serve as predictor for pain, however, more investigations are needed / Doutorado / Protese Dental / Doutor em Clínica Odontológica

Risk assessment is ‘risky business’ when we consider that it is based on the individual values, knowledge, experience and personality of thousands of unique social workers throughout the Country. And, combined with the personalities, charisma, charm and manipulative capacities of families we essentially have nothing but a bunch of checklists or ticky boxes. I would argue that the very structure of the organizational capacity to effect change with families in crisis is as senseless as it is useless: We cannot apply a systematized set of procedures, guidelines and solutions to the human condition. People are not mechanical, they are not engines that contain in similar fashion, parts and pieces that can be replaced or even understood. They are unique, they are complex, they contain immeasurable differences in their thinking, doing and believing: They can apply rules, values, and experiences to manipulate, charm, and confuse workers. So, just how do we prescribe a methodology to the madness of crisis? How do we ensure that outcomes are based on a thorough, thoughtful and critical analysis of each and every family who comes to the attention of the child protection authorities and ensure safety while protecting the child’s right to remain in the biological family home? We have created complexity within the systems that manage us and have thereby made insignificant the significance of human work. What is needed is a complete restructuring of the systems we work within; the way we work, the way we think and the way we approach our understanding of risk and safety. But considering the depth of practice this would need to reach, the number of workers that would have to change, the belief systems, social systems, bureaucracy and barriers that would have to be overcome, we need to ask, “is this possible?” Can we successfully implement a change of such magnitude in child protection practice today? The purpose of this research is to support organizations, regions and even entire provinces across Canada in their pursuit of change within the child protection field. It is based on the premise that child protection reforms of the past have ill-addressed the needs of children and families; the deficit based frameworks utilized until recent years have often left families broken and helpless in the struggle to keep their children at home. This study will take an in-depth look at the historical context of social work highlighting the need for systemic, organizational and legislative change while identifying a process for successful implementation of the Signs of Safety practice framework by first exposing the indicators of success. Utilizing an auto-ethnographical methodology grounded in the critical race theory I will provide my personal experiences working within organizations, the successes, the challenges and the barriers to change of this magnitude. / Graduate / hebditchconsulting@gmail.com
