Trust related studies have proliferated in national and foreign literature. However, regarding the measurement of employee trust in the organization only one instrument was identified in the brazilian literature. Considering the possibility of refinement of this measure, this study aimed to validate the Employee s Trust Scale. The scale consists of items from the original scale and other items produced with support from the literature. The final version of the scale consisted of 61 statements in Likert format, which was answered by 554 employees of different organizations, with a minimum of six months of work. These data were subjected to factor analysis using principal axis method with oblique rotation and a factor loading greater than 0.50. The results indicate three factors that together explain 49.63 percent of variance, namely ethical components, organizational competence and opportunism, with Cronbach's alpha of 0.96, 0.92 and 0.84, respectively. The identified factor structure differs from the former scale in number of factors, although the content, at most, is present in the current composition. The content of the instrument appears to be aligned with the literature in relation to sustaining confidence in ethical bases and competence. This paper has the merit of adding the empirical contributions of the first scale to the theoretical basis of literature. It is concluded that the psychometric characteristics of the instrument recommend its use in research and even for diagnosis in the organizational context.

This study aimed to adapt the Intercultural Adjustment Potential Scale (ICAPS), developed by Matsumoto and LeRoux (2006) to the Brazilian context. The purpose of this instrument is to predict the degree of difficulty a person will have in adjusting to a new culture. In this study, it was opted to work with the 26 items captured by the four factors (emotion regulation, flexibility, openness, critical thinking). The adaptation process followed five steps: translation to Portuguese, back translation to English, semantic analysis by expert committee and pretest of the ICAPS version in Portuguese and administration of the instrument to the target population in order to conduct the cultural adaptation of the scale to the Brazilian context and to verify the psychometrics properties. The sample consisted of 428 students from a Federal University from Triângulo Mineiro and from other Private Educational Institution of Uberlândia, the age varied between 14 and 46 (mean= 19.21, standard deviation= 3.97). The data were submitted to reliability calculation of the original factors of ICAPS and to factorial analysis needed for the adaptation and validation of the instrument. The factorial structure was composed by 4 factors that accounted for 30.78% of the total variance. The reliability for the factor Emotion Regulation was 0.10; for the factor Openness was -0.35, for the factor Flexibility was -0.04 and for the factor Critical Thinking was 0.45. The results pointed for a structure with no empirical support for the Brazilian context. It were discussed the theoretical limitations to the construct and possible flaws of the construction of the instrument. This study has the purpose to encourage new researches involving intercultural adjustment and psychological instruments.

This research was designed to examine the relationship between the willingness to forgive in specific situations and intensity of Early Maladaptive Schemas in a nonclinical sample of adults. Forty-one people participated in the survey, with an average age of 27.8 years. Were used three instruments: the Enright Forgiveness Inventory (EFI), the Crowne-Marlowe Social Desirability Scale and the Young Schema Questionnaire (short version). After application of the measures, statistical procedures were applied. In terms of results related to EFI, the same way in other studies that used this scale, were found positive correlations of the subscales of behavior, cognition and affection among themselves and with the total score of EFI, as well as with the 1-Item Forgiveness Scale an independent measure to evaluate how much the individual has forgiven the offender, in a complete mode. The results also showed that the EFI total score and the 1-Item Forgiveness Scale correlated positively, while the social desirability scale didn t show significant correlations with any of the two measures. Concerning the intensity of the offense, there was a negative correlation of this variable with measures of forgiveness, indicating that the degree of forgiveness was less the greater the perceived intensity of injury. With respect to the intensity of forgiveness, the average degree of forgiveness of the participants was 266 points a score that ranges from 60 (low degree of forgiveness) to 360 (high degree of forgiveness) and over half of the sample (61%, n = 25) reported levels of forgiveness higher than average. In terms of degrees of forgiveness measured by subscales of the EFI, the results showed that sample expressed more intensely the cognitive forgiveness (M = 96.8). The degree of affective forgiveness (M = 81.3) remained significantly lower than the degree of behavioral forgiveness (M = 88.2) and cognitive forgiveness, indicating that it was harder to participants offer the emotional forgiveness. Finally, considering the main objective of this research, the results showed negative correlations between the measure of forgiveness used as a criterion variable (1-Item Forgiveness Scale) and four of the five domains of schemes proposed by Young, to wit: disconnection and rejection (&#961; = -0.534, p <0.05), impaired autonomy and performance (&#961; = -0.440, p < 0.05), other-directedness (&#961; = -0.371, p < 0.05) and finally, the impaired limits domain (&#961; = -0.472, p < 0.01). Thus, the probability of the participants forgive their offenders has decreased as a function of the magnitude of the participant's domains and their schemes. The results observed in this study expands the current knowledge about the process of forgiveness, as well as about its interface with the cognitive structures called schemas, which have an important role in the organization of the personality, from the therapeutic point of view in cognitive approaches.

The aim of this study was to investigate possible alterations in attentive functions and mental flexibility in individuals diagnosed with Addiction. The sample (n=40) was located for convenience, and included 20 individuals with addiction behaviors (G1), and 20 individuals who do not use harmfully psychoactive substances (G2). Assessment instruments used were: Experimental and Computerized Test of Continuous Performance, and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. It was concluded that individuals in the G1 group had a poorer performance in all categories analyzed on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and in reaction time on the Experimental and Computerized Test (p<0,05), showing a deficit in mental flexibility and attentive functions, which may have direct implications on addictive behaviors and treatment.

The woman becomes the subject through the culture. During postmodernity the rules of consumption lead the human relations, the insatiability of the whishes and the instant continuous happiness are social orders. The media transmit broadcast, especially through television, the most popular mass-media in Brazil. Through advertising everyone whatches itself on the opportunity of becoming the subject through the pictures associated to the advertised products. Our aim is to investigate the subjective formations directed woman through Brazilian advertising. This analysis has been realized using the psychoanalytic method, which on interface between psyche and culture, investigates the field of subconscious human senses. The analysis, for each advertising has been carried on through the following steps: selection of four TV advertisings, referred to women‟s cosmetics and personal hygiene products, detailed description of the pictures through a chart analysis, analysis of the arisen senses and comparison with the theoretical reference, andsynthesis of conclusion. The process of the above mentioned analysis was inspired by Herrmann, who proposes that we should let the inquired problem reveals itself in itshuman significancy,,then to lean over other, and thus to create an interpretive matrix through emerged senses on the two firsts statements; and, in this manner, part fromit (the matrix), to investigate a third problem, that reveal itself on other sense or on field‟s rupture. The first advertising reveals the fallus power circulation; in the second one, the completion‟s notion; in the third, the human distortion‟s process; and in the fourth one, the lingering of a feminine condition. To conclude we debated, through the emerged senses by the four advertisings, the postmodernity woman‟ subjective condition, passed over the absence.

Breast cancer is the second most frequent type of cancer in the world, and the most common among women, representing around 22% of new cases each year. Considering that most cases of breast cancer are still diagnosed in advanced stages of the illness, there is a great possibility of compromising regional lymph nodes and developing metastasis in the distance, that is, the spread of the illness to other organs and tissues. Thus, this study aims to check and correlate the adaptive efficacy and the global functioning of women with breast cancer metastasis. Six women with breast cancer metastasis, attended at Malignant Mastology Sector, at Clinics Hospital of Federal University of Uberlândia (HC/UFU), took part in this study. The following procedures were followed: Preventive Clinical Interview, the Operational Adaptive Diagnostic Scale (EDAO), in its two evaluation proposals, EDAO and EDAO/R, as well as the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF). Concerning the classification of this study´s participants´ adaptive efficacy, the results, show that Gerbera, Tulip and Gardenia presented non effective moderate adaptation, without crisis, Group III; and Rose, Amaryllis and Violet presented non effective severe adaptation, without crisis, Group V, according to the EDAO. According to the EDAO/R, Gardenia presented ineffective light adaptation, without crisis, Group 2; Gerbera, Tulip and Violet presented ineffective moderate adaptation, without crisis, Group 3; and Rose and Amaryllis presented ineffective severe adaptation, without crisis, Group 4. Concerning the classification of participants´ global functioning, the results show that Gerbera and Gardenia belong in the 61 to 70 range, indicating some light symptoms or some difficulty in occupational and social functioning; Tulip belongs in the 51 to 60 range, showing moderate symptoms or difficulty in occupational and social functioning; Amaryllis and Rose fit the 41 to 50 range, presenting serious symptoms or loss in the social or occupational functioning; Violet, though, couldn´t be classified, due to the fact that, in part, fits the 71 to 80 range, indicating if present, temporary symptoms, consisting of predictable reactions to psychosocial stressors; and, in part, in the 21 to 30 range, indicating incapacity of functioning in the occupational area. The results also show statistically significant differences between: the adaptive efficacy degree and respective variations, according to the two evaluation proposals of EDAO, which is EDAO > EDAO/R; positive correlations between adaptation values, according to the EDAO and EDAO/R; positive correlation between the sum values of affective-relational (A-R) and productivity (Pr) sectors adequacy, by the EDAO and of these sectors by the redefinition, EDAO/R, that is, by adaptation of EDAO/R; sector Pr and EDAO adequacy; and social-cultural (SC) and EDAO sector adequacy; negative correlation, statistically significant, between the adaptive efficacy values and SC sector negative factors; positive correlations, statistically significant between the GAF scale score and the A-R, Pr and SC sectors adequacy sum, according to EDAO; between the GAF scale score and the adaptation, by the EDAO, and between the GAF scale score and the EDAO/R. We conclude that the first EDAO evaluation proposal was more sensitive than the EDAO/R and GAF to evaluate the adaptive efficacy and global functioning of women with breast cancer metastasis, once it is more extensive and considers the personality functioning in a whole.

Researchers in Organizational Behaviour are usually intrigued by topics such as Management and Affectivity when they examine the impact of human resource on organizational affectivity. Human Resources Management has developed due to ongoing appreciation and acknowledgement of people as active agents who offer innovation and creativity for organizational competitiveness and affectivity. Similarly, literature on Organizational Affectivity has developed not only due to the achievement of organizational goals, but also due to its ability to adapt to constant environmental changes. Several studies have confirmed that human resources practices may have a positive impact on organizational affectivity, which highlights the importance of investing in people to gain competitive advantages (Barney 1991; Hitt et al., 2001; Huselid, 1995; Lepak & Snell, 1999; Patterson, West & Wall, 2004; Pfeffer, 1998). Additionally, a lot of research suggests that the organizational results of these actions would be better in the industry (Combs, Liu e Ketchen, 2006). This calls for more studies to elucidate this complex relation in organizations from different areas. The present study intends to fill part of this gap, characterizing and comparing the models of these relations for 324 workers of industry, commerce and services. The data collected were subjected to correlational analysis (Pearson s r) and stepwise multiple regression analysis with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18.0. The study confirmed the theoretical model proposed and recognized the impact of Perception of Human Resource Management (PHRM) on the Perception of Organizational Affectivity (PEO). Furthermore, the results indicate different analysis models for both the group as a whole and the three sectors. In fact, the Involvement factor of the PPGP indeed seems to be the best predictor for the PEO. The findings in this study lead to the recognition of specific performance configurations in the analysis of the impact of PGP on the PEO. Moreover, due to the lack of specific studies that relate PPGP and PEO that address the performance of organizations, we suggest a research agenda.

This work discourse about the way as the sexuality and the body of the child is dealt inside the shelter houses, having as objective to discourse concerning the process of institutionalization of the infantile sexuality, investigating as the dynamics of the institution acts in the construction of the sexuality and, therefore, subjectivity of the child. For in such a way, based in the rules of the psychoanalysis, as investigative procedure had been carried through comments in an institution that shelters children moved away judicially from its family of origin. In this way, as resource for construction of material for analyzes searched to understand the unconscious aspects and the emotions take in the lived deeply relations that touch the limits of the institution, being been that the comments of the institutional dynamics had been carried through during a period of six months, with a weekly medium frequency, being these spaced per days and carried through in accordance with the possibility of the institution and the researcher. Of that what it was taken in consideration for our look and made direction, one searched to write down the impressions in a Daily of Field and, later, analyzes to carry through it of what it was observed to the light of the psychoanalysis method. Due to impossibility of if observing, to register and to analyze everything, were opted to analyze marking out with buoys it in the pieces that more token us front to the carried through comments. By means of it analyzes of the pieces was possible to construct hypotheses on the infantile shelters, the stigmatization of the intern and the institutionalization of the sexuality of the child. One concludes that a movement of burial of the psychic subject intern exists while, not being given to this the possibility to become subject in its proper history.

As the other is indispensable for building knowledge and also for the making up of the subject himself/herself and they way he/she acts, we recognize the social character of human development, based on the historical-cultural theory, that the characteristics of each individual are formed through this constant interaction with the environment in which he/she lives. Thus recognizing children as producers of culture and assuming that they experience and internalize the world so legitimately and singularly, this study aimed to investigate the formation of children in the schooling process and approach the possible nuances and marks of them and built by them through their first school experiences. Twenty children, aged three years and a half to four and a half years, attending a pre-kindergarten I class of a public school in Uberlândia (MG), Brasil participated in this study. The construction of the corpus was made from observational visits, recorded in field notes and interviews with the teacher of the class. The goal of the inclusion of the classroom in this study was to get to know the school routine in its richness and dynamism from the view of participant observation of the explicit set of practices carried out by teachers and students, besides the set of practices which are not explicit and determine the organization of classroom. For treatment of the data constructed, we began by typing the field notes and the interview transcripts. Then, we developed a long process of coming and going in the corpus, an ongoing dialogue with theory, so as to grasp the transformation processes that were taking place and allowing the emergence of the various senses of the material. We selected excerpts and raised the issues on which they about. Then we observed the recurrence of certain issues which were grouped according to their common meanings. These recurring themes shaped categories of analysis that we organized into four thematic blocks: 1. The marks of the school, which we tried to list the ones that print the children and perpetuate in them 2. A (un) organization of daily life, which was characterized by gaps in the use of time in which children were in the institution 3. Professor - Uncle / Aunt (the common way that children address their teachers) to persecutor - and their practice, reflecting on the various positions occupied by early childhood educator and his/her practice 4. The making up of the child, which highlighted the relevance of school for the humanization of the child, for the development of higher psychological functions and access to cultural production. The profession was also the focus of our analysis from the interview with the teacher and in this sense; it is necessary and urgent to think of the context of public policy, in public notices for posts at this level of education, as well as providing effective proposals for continuing education to those already in school. Moreover, we highlight the importance of the presence of psychologist in early childhood education to contribute to the implementation of quality preschool, which balances care and education, and considers the school and its community - educators, children and their families and their concrete conditions.

Internship is legally understood in Brazil as an overseen educational activity to be developed in a work setting aiming to prepare students to make productive work. According to the federal law number 11.788/08, its main aim is to provide students with competences directly related to the professional activity in a curricular context and to make students develop themselves to live as citizens and to work professionally. With a focus on the professionalizing internship, this research aimed at understanding the professional subjectiveness process of Psychology undergraduates at a public university in the state Minas Gerais during their internship and according to a critic perspective in schooling psychology. The importance of studying psychologist academic training above all the relationship between theory and practice is on the fact that the internship is his/her initial contact with the professional experience itself after four years of theoretical studies. Understood as a way of appropriating and internalizing theoretical and practical dimensions related to the psychologist profession and constructed by the individual, the concept of professional subjectiveness is viewed in the light of the cultural-historical theory, that is, as a result of the human being social constitution. Three Psychology s intern students and their respective overseers were interviewed during their internship period to talk about the process of professional constitution at this phase of the academic training. To do so, oral history proved to be an important methodological support, for it offers a means of giving voice to common people and letting them signify their multi-circumstantial experiences. Results reiterate the presence of subjectivity in the dynamics of an undergraduate training, but they showed that it is permeated by social relations established in his/her personal life story and professional trajectory, stemming from the professional choice, the relationship between intern and overseer, the professional activity properly considered, the psychotherapy, the rules, and from the institutionalization of knowledge, among others aspects that guide the professional subjectiveness during the internship. We verified that the training of a Psychology undergraduate includes multiple determinations that exceed the academic setting because it points out the breaking down of the professional dimensions and personal one dichotomy.

The great number of children with school issues referred to public and private clinical psychologists is a fact that requires consideration for two aspects: first, the school stigmatizes the child and his/her family without actually helping them and, secondly, psychological care demands of the professional knowledge and concepts that cover the whole complexity of such issues. Given this context, this study aims to contribute for a better understanding of the school issues following the paths they travel from school to psychological care, and discuss the concepts and practices present, enabling a deeper reflection on aspects such as maintenance of issues as well as overcoming them and their effects on the lives of the individuals. Considering that the complaints come from the school, this study began investigating this universe. We selected two public and two private educational institutions and we interviewed, respectively, the directors and coordinators. A total of five interviews were conducted. We then requested these professionals to indicate one or two psychologists who they tend to refer children with school problems. Thus, two psychologists were interviewed; one indicated by a private school and the other, a health service psychologist mentioned by the public schools. Analysis of the interviews showed that the scenes of school issues are made up by the roles occupied by all those involved in the network of relationships in which the issue is constructed (teachers, family and child psychologist), by what is thought of the child, by the human developmental and educational concepts, by the concrete conditions of educational work and training of educators and psychologists. These aspects were discussed and related to other topics, and grouped in three main areas: 1) the role of schools highlighting the specificity of education, teacher working conditions, the relation between family / school / society; 2) concepts of school issues focusing on blaming the child and the dichotomy between the cognitive and affective dimension of the individual and 3) the training and work of the psychologist who receives the child with the issue discussing the scenes of school issues outside the school walls, specifically in psychology practices, and analyzing the views of the psychologists interviewed regarding school issues, the specificity of the work of the psychologist. This research revealed the urgent need to disclose actions in psychology that seek to understand and overcome the problems identified in school life, practices which are not allies with the reductionist way of conceiving school issues and that the institution can intervene before there is a wrong referral, to be resolved outside the school walls.

The contact with the documentary production as director, turns out to put myself in a privileged place within the conceptual construction on this genre of film. Being face to face with the character and to experience its importance in the process of producing a movie made me understand from a different point of view the stages of conception of artistic work. Therefore, this research seeks to understand, supported by the psychoanalytic method of interpretation, these three specific moments - meeting, conduction and sewing - of fundamental importance for the documentary film. The director and the character within a relationship of f (r)iction, put their subjectivities in constant shock, and it is precisely this friction and the different paths that arises is what provides the uniqueness of this mode of film production as complex and full of nuances. What the camera captures is something beyond mere likeness, representation and enactment of those who cross their objective. In the skin, under the skin of film, there is also a psychic wide world that this research tries to highlight.

Este trabalho visa alcançar a natureza tributária da comunicação audiovisual sob demanda, atividade esta desenvolvida por empresas como a Netflix, que só veio a ser tributada em 2017, a partir da publicação da Lei Complementar nº 157, colocando esta prática no âmbito de incidência do Imposto Sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza (ISS). Logo, este estudo verifica se a comunicação audiovisual sob demanda realmente se encaixa nos ditames do ISS, se deveria ser tributada por meio do Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços (ICMS), ou se seria necessário a criação de um novo imposto fazendo uso da competência residual da União. Para isso, fez-se análise inicialmente do sistema de tributação brasileiro, bem como uma exposição acerca dos conceitos e circunstâncias que caracterizam a disponibilização de mídias online via streaming. Em seguida, utilizando o instrumental teórico da regra-matriz de incidência tributária, definiu-se os conceitos de serviço, bem como de mercadoria, a fim de concluir pelo impedimento da tributação da comunicação audiovisual sob demanda por meio do ISS ou do ICMS-mercadoria, restando, portanto, a competência do Imposto Residual para criação de um imposto específico direcionado, especialmente, a essa atividade.

Os begomovírus infectam plantas dicotiledôneas em praticamente todo o mundo. Eles possuem morfologia icosaédrica geminada com o genoma composto por DNA de fita simples circular. Os begomovírus são transmitidos por um complexo críptico de espécies de moscas brancas (Bemisia tabaci) e a transmissão é dependente da proteína capsidial (CP). Neste estudo, foi analisada a sequência codificadora da CP de isolados de begomovírus coletados em escala global e disponíveis no GenBank. A análise multivariada de componentes principais (“Principal Component Analysis”, PCA) foi empregada para determinar a estrutura genética da meta-população dos begomovírus. As posições de nucleotídeos que mais contribuíram para a divergência entre as subpopulações foram mapeadas em nível de aminoácido em modelos tridimensionais construídos para as CPs de cada uma das subpopulações virais. A subpopulação de begomovírus coletados no sul da África, incluindo os sweepovirus, apresentaram substituições marcantes na região da CP envolvida em transmissão via inseto-vetor. Tais resultados sugerem que os begomovírus pertencentes a essa subpopulação podem exibir dinâmicas distintas de transmissão.
