Care taking in neonatology has been increased in the last years concerning the conditions of prematurity and low weight at birth, specially related to health, growth and development of children who are under such a condition of risk. One of the most relevant points of neonatology researches is about the behavioral observation of signs emitted by the premature organism work, which possibly reveal the level of organization or disorganization of the organism as a whole, making it possible to predict future harms. Since 1978, an American researcher , Heidelise Als, with a group of collaborators, has started several researches about the behavior and assistance to low weight premature babies which do emphasize a differential care practice to their development using as a base the Syncronic Active Theory of Development (SATD), which has enabled the registration and elaboration of individualized care in order to promote the development of premature babies, reflecting gains for an effective development of the different functions of the organism, mainly in the motor cognitive and behavioral areas. Hence, this paper has the aim to quantify those behaviors which are more evident in the context of a Neonatology Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and what the environmental mechanisms which favor their manifestations are, in order to track down the cares to development according to the reality present in the NICU. The research has been planned through a pre-project which has enabled the registration in 19 samples of children to 30 sections of observation, being developed in the period of April to June, 2005. Data collection has been performed in premature babies with low weight at birth and with fetus age between 26 to 37 weeks. Such collection has used a standard etogram based on behavioral observation of H.Als, marking the environmental events that had promoted some behaviors. The observation was performed in a period of 15 minutes per individual of such sample. The tabulated data resulted in general data through maternal and babies variables and through specific data of behaviors and environmental interferences. The general data have kept a similarity with other researches, pointing out unfavorable social conditions and maternal predisposition to infections as possible predisposition factors to a premature delivery as well as the prematurity situation as a worsening event of the babys health and welfare. Among the specific data, it was possible to register a prevalence of restraint behaviors which do reveal the babys disorganization facing the excess of environmental interferences, such as noises, manipulation and luminosity, much common in NICUs. Eventually, through such facts, we suggest into this research possible solutions to ease the excess of disorganizing behavioral manifestations, trying to make a priority to the cares of the development through practices already used by H.Als and her team.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-05-03) CASTELO BRANCO, Marília Fontes de; FERREIRA, Eleonora Arnaud Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6600933695027723
The Mouth Breathing Syndrome (MBS) causes physical and behavioral characteristics that interfere on the child’s quality of life. The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be related to mouth breathing in the individual, as well as to the presence of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). Moreover, studies indicate that adenotonsillectomy reduces the occurrence of behavior indicative of ADHD in patients with MBS, and produces significant improvement in SDB. Objectives: (a) characterize the sociodemographic condition and risk indicators of children diagnosed with MBS; (b) analyze behavioral patterns associated with ADHD and sleep habits of children diagnosed with MBS, observed before and after adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy. The participants were 44 children, of both genders, between two and 12 years of age, seen in the Otorhinolaryngology Department of a university hospital. The sample was also composed by these children’s caregivers and teachers. Data collection was accomplished through: (1) Application of the Child and Family Information Form and the Developmental and Medical History Form with caregivers, followed by the Child Behavior Checklist - Caregiver Version (CBCL) and the criteria for ADHD diagnosis from DSM-IV; (2) Application of the Teacher’s Report Form (TRF); (3) Application of the Sleep Habits Inventory for Preschool Children and Sleep Behavior Questionnaire, for schoolchildren; (4) Post-surgery Behavioral Evaluation, using the CBCL and the sleep inventories, two months after surgery; and (5) Follow-up interview. Mostly, the mouth breathers: a) were school children; b) were 7-9 years old; c) were female; d) their primary caregiver had completed High School; e) his/her family income was around one and two minimum wages; f) had an original family constitution; g) were at a moderate psychosocial risk. It was observed that most participants in this study went through a normal pregnancy, with no events that could cause harm, and their delivery was also performed appropriately, however, part of the mouth breathers in this sample was cyanotic during or immediately after delivery and presented respiratory problems during the first months. Regarding the baby's temper in the first year of life, most of them were hyperactive and had difficulty falling asleep and being kept busy. The majority of the mouth breathers’ developmental milestones in this study happened in a period within the typical patterns of child development. The most frequent health problems were: appetite problems; and sleep problems. A decrease in frequency of ADHD-related behaviors was observed after surgery in both preschoolers and school children, according to data from CBCL (p = 0.723). And most items in the Sleep Habits Inventory for Preschool Children had a reduction in the frequency of inappropriate habits and an increase in the frequency of appropriate behaviors. In the Sleep Behavior Questionnaire, applied to school children, it was seen that few had sleep problems in the post-surgery evaluation and most sleep problems were reduced in frequency. The greatest reductions occurred in moves a lot while sleeping and snores in his/her sleep (p = 1.000). The preventive multidisciplinary assessment of mouth breathing is suggested as well as the incorporation of a control group, composed by nasal breathers, in future studies.

Psychology has engaged in researches with target in institutional care. This interest makes growing in the scientific field necessity of studies to take care about collective environments whereas Developmental of Niche, where the social and physical environment, care practices that are often used in daily routines, besides who use psychology for taking care should be understood from integrated and close way. This study has for the purpose of investigating social and physical environment aspects, knowledge and concepts about infant development, routines and care practices present among educators in institution for children. This study is compound for 100 educators (95% of the population) who are responsible for children daily care of the children referred to a child care space.The educators answered through an individual interview based and structured in Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory (KIDI), instrument consists of 75 questions, divided into four categories: care practices, health and safety, rules and acquisitions, and principles of development. In this sample, 10 educators were selected and they compound the observation sessions, having importance for care routines at institution, and main criterion about this choice was a selection based in the performance obtained by KIDI. Of all observational sessions were selected moments that each educator got involved in situations like baths, food, sleep and plays. Those situations were extracted episodes that show care practices and routine activities. The results showed the most of professionals are women (99%), more than 35 years old, and they have kids and high school finished, and also more than 24 months of experience like educator. The results of instrument application showed 66% of educators got about 66 questions right. Thus, outperformed the 50% of performance at all categories analyzed by instrument, however the best results were extracted in statements related to care practices (80%) and principles of development (68%). The scholar level has not showed like an important variable. In institutional routine was checked the institucional care counts on rules collection that are followed by educators and children, with schedules and determinate places. It was noticed that knowledge about infant development is a relevant variable for quality of interactions and cares offered to child. Could be identified educators change routine, change the social and physical environment and adapt their practices following the demand and structure of situation, looking for to promote their well-being, and especially children well-being, give them possibilities to chance their environment and make individual choices in agreement with their own necessities. Besides is offered to institucional care children many experiences can rescue children to their cultural community, especially in situations of play and sleep. The results found in this study show how are important knowing about institucional care like spaces as a Development of Niche. It keeps a mutual relation with environment, practices and psychology of educators. This way it can be put in debate the importance to understand about institutional care in many points of view, and therefore must be understood in its various dimensions.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-05) LELLIS, Irani Lauer; MAGALHÃES, Celina Maria Colino de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1695449937472051
The preoccupation related to children´s economic socialization and the possible influence of the parental practices in this process have been fomenting researches that contribute for the understanding of cultural and social contexts, enlarging the comprehension capacity of the parental behaviors and children development. According to literature, parents are the socialization main agents for children's economic literacy. By means of the practice of giving allowance children’s economic comprehension increase and by means of rewards and sanctions, parents install their own beliefs of economy in their children. Though this theme is already vastly studied in other countries, in Brazil the researches are scarce and embrace only the average class, disregarding the great participation of the low class in the economy and in the formation of futures consumers. This study had as objective investigate the beliefs and parents' practices on the allowance. parents of low and average income, with sons between 6 and 16 years old took part on this research. Focal group technique was used, in which four groups participated. The discussions was orientated by a themes guide constituted by relevant literature subjects like the concept and purpose of the allowance. The discussions were recorded, transcribed and submitted to data analysis in an analysis computer program of textual data, Alceste, version 4.5, created by Marx Reinert. The results pointed 5 classes that were organized in three thematic axises. In the classes associated with the allowance utilization process, parents’ seeking to justify the allowance use as educational strategy, sometimes serving as reward instrument, sometimes as instrument of creating bad habits. It was identified that besides the educational function the allowance has a socialization function, for integration and social status. The contents of the theme “family history concerning the budget” showed parents' very distinct reports, in which sometimes they remit to a family history, mostly to one of their parents, sometimes talking about the negotiation process, in the conjugal relation, of the budget and of the expenses. The parents argued subjects related to who should control the house finance (man or woman) and also if children needed to know how the family budget is like. In the third axis the existence of some factors related for Allowance definition components, like frequency and regularity, value and need to children was verified. The answers also involved the amount of money that should be given to the children and the reason for parents to stop giving allowance to their children.

The toy library is a legal right guaranteed to children through Law 11.104/05, though not yet fully implemented in the country. This study aimed to describe and analyze the conditions of services and facilities made available by toy library in Belém, Pará. Four hospitals with this service participated in the research. The research involved 10 technicians and 39 children and their caretakers. For the technicians, an interview script was used – the Escala Autoavaliativa de Índices de Qualidade (EAIQ), of the Likert type, composed of 27 closed items and three open ones. For the children and their caretakers, interview scripts were used. Observations were carried out and a photographical record was made. Data collection was initiated after signing the Term of Consent – the interviews and EAIQ were done individually. The data from the interviews were grouped into categories from the topics in the scripts and the topics in the scale according to the literature, both qualitatively analyzed. Among the main results are: a- All hospitals in the study were public ones; b- Regarding the conceptualization of the space, the response from technicians and caretakers was in accordance with the literature and law; c- There are few records regarding the deployment and operation of the spaces; d- The teams differed in terms of both number of members and qualification, and in half of them there is a lack of a systematic routine of meetings, yet they were positively evaluated by clients, e- It was found that three of them operated at least five days a week and that all of them offer free, targeted activities, f- In relation to the collection of toys, it differed in quantity, but the institutions had make-believe toys, building blocks and board games; g- It was found that the children showed little restriction to the games they would like to play in the hospital and they reported that the preferred place within this context is the one in which they can play. The study allowed us to sketch a profile of these toy libraries, verify aspects that favor the aims of these spaces and reflect on possible improvements.

This work focuses on the problem of inclusive education, investigating the inclusion of students with learning disabilities in the regular educational system of Brazil. Departing from the systematic revision of publications about the theme it was possible to present two studies. The first has a descriptive nature, revising the articles about inclusion to form a overview about it. The tool for this task was the virtual library of SciELO, in which 138 articles were selected. The results of this first study appointed that the researches about the theme advanced from 2005 on, mainly in the South-west and South regions of Brazil, with prevalence of empiric researches in various fields, especially in education. The second study analyzed scientific articles that deal with the inclusion of students with learning disabilities, according to the Bio-ecological Theory of Human Development. Using a systematic literature revision in addition to the use of the instrument CASP, 16 articles were selected to be analyzed withe bio-ecological. This investigation found that the studies or emphasized the influence of biological aspects , or on the other side, social, cultural and political context of the students, without making the necessary connection for the understanding multi-dimensional form of inclusive education.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-08-29) COSTA, Débora Lisboa Corrêa; CAVALCANTE, Lília Iêda Chaves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4743726124254735
Studies show that when children interact to each other they have the opportunity to develop their social skills. For example, the behavior of care stands out as different actions that resemble parental care, which aims to give physical or emotional support to others, considering attitudes such as helping, sharing and playing care. For children who are living and growing up in shelters, studies find that due to their specific condition of personal and social vulnerability, they can take advantages of this behavior in the interactions established at school, for example. This study aims to investigate the physical and social aspects of the environment that contribute to the manifestation of the behavior of care observed between pairs in the school playground and shelter. Besides that, to check and to analyze the social and physical characteristics of people who were part of the research that may also have influenced the manifestation of this kind of pro-social behavior. The study included five children, four to six year-old, who lived more than a year in the shelter and attend school regularly. For data collection, each target and their interactions with other children were recorded over ten observing sessions during fifty minutes, in both environments. In total, we had 500 minutes of observation. The results showed that all five participants expressed care behaviors in the study sites. In total, 43 behavioral events were recorded (26 at school and 17 in the shelter), organized around the following sub-categories: Establishing Affectionate Contact, Helping, Entertaining and Playing Care. Intragroup evaluation showed no statistical difference in the percentage difference in the behavior of care observed at school and in the shelter. When we analyze the performance of each category of care, it is clear that the behavior of help at school (n = 14, 53.8%) had higher frequencies than in the shelter (n = 7, 41.2 %). However, the binomial test indicates that this difference is not statistically significant (p> 0.05), i. e., percentages referring to the help actions are similar in both sites. The same happens to the behavior of Playing Care, which was higher in the shelter (n = 4, 23.5%) than at school (n = 2, 7.7%). However, statistical analysis showed that there were no statistical differences between sites. The description of the frequency of the behavior Establishing Affectionate Contact shows that there is a higher occurrence at school (n = 7, 26.9%) than in the shelter (n = 6, 35.3%), but the test shows there is no statistical difference between the averages sites are compared. And finally, it was found that the Entertaining behavior did not occur in the shelter, being observed only at school (n = 3, 11.5%), so it is not possible the application of the statistical test. The data showed that each site had a predominant type of care due to the physical and social characteristics of each institution, as well as participant characteristics (age and residence time of the targets) and recipients gender and the offered care.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) SILVA, Rafael Luiz Morais da; SILVA, Simone Souza da Costa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9044423720257634
Studies on syntactic communication has revealed that both the verbal repertoire as non-verbal produce significant changes in social interaction, and therefore human development. The talks, for example, has been seen as socially communicative modality required for building relationships in different contexts and cultures. However, this mode is not always the most available resource especially for those who have changes in their development. Given this, it is common through facial expressions, eye movement and / or wink of the intentional movements as point, people with disabilities try to seek compensation for ways to express their desires, thoughts and frustrations. In this sense, resources and alternative communication strategies have been used as useful tools for the individual to achieve greater social participation in the various contexts in which it presents itself. However, in the school environment literature has highlighted that the barriers of communication between teacher and student with disabilities can do harm in the process of teaching and learning. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the teacher-student with cerebral palsy before and after the introduction of these tools. To this end, we carried out a qualitative study, the type of case study research with action. The main steps of this study were: no filming of the interactive features of alternative communication, training of teachers in school and filming of the episodes related to the alternative communication. The data were analyzed qualitatively, considering the four dimensions of human development bioecological model proposed by Bronfenbrenner (1998): Case, Person, Context and Time. Among the results of this research include: greater mutual engagement in the development of the episodes, with increase in the extent of communicative links, better perception of the teacher about the student's communication skills and tendency of educators to use these tools for teaching . From this, it was concluded that these resources boosted the interactions the teacher and the student with cerebral palsy, however its implementation in daily school life requires positive interdependence of various factors, among which the personal attributes generators and developmentally largest base of regular time using these tools.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a specific developmental disorder of high prevalence observed in children and adults, including impairments in behavior inhibition, sustained attention, resistance to distraction and regulating the activity level of individual facing some situations, being frequent the excessive motor behavior and inadequate. Due these characteristics, students with this disorder have accumulated impairments in several areas of life mainly in relation with the academic development. This has encouraged research as a way of developing behavioral technology to minimize the impact of this disorder in an individual’s life. Researchers in the field of music education have interested in this area objecting acknowledge in the way how music education can help students with ADHD to develop strategies to minimize the cost of learning for them. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether the music education can serve as an intervention tool to promote changes in the behavior repertoire of students with characteristics of risk to the disorder. The research was divided in three studies: screening prevalence of the disorder, analysis behavioral changes in students with characteristics of risk to ADHD and assessment of music learning. The results indicate that within of the sample studied (N=320), 52,18% presented score of compatible characteristics with the disorder. Regarding behavioral changes, we observed expansion of the repertoire of appropriate behaviors and reduction in the repertoire of inappropriate behaviors. When was established the assessment of learning music and comparison with a student with typical development, we observed that both students had a similar development.
