ABSTRACT: The difficulties of the deaf in written Portuguese and of the teacher in teaching, added to the scarcity of research in the area, make the revision of strategies in the process of teacher training relevant. This is a qualitative and quantitative research with 16 teachers from the last years of Elementary and High School of Portuguese language in the public-school network who worked with deaf students at some point in their teaching experience. Eight teachers from Inclusive Education and eight from a Bilingual School for the Deaf were selected. NVivo10 software was used for data analysis. In the initial training, the teachers did not have contact with Sign Language or specific methodological strategies for teaching the Deaf. In continuing education, the most effective teaching was that of other, more experienced teachers. There is a dichotomy between teachers from inclusive schools and those from the bilingual school for the deaf, where the former use the Brazilian Sign Language as an accessory language for the teaching of written Portuguese, whereas teachers in the bilingual school use it as the language of instruction with the use of metalanguage. Regarding the conceptions, the teachers suggested some training practices to work with the Deaf audience. Therefore, it is essential to invest in inclusive and bilingual schools that serve deaf students, as well as in the continued training of teachers, proposing study groups with the entire pedagogical team as part of the training process.

RESUMEN: Las dificultades de las personas sordas en la lengua portuguesa escrita y del docente en su enseñanza, sumadas a la escasez de investigaciones en el área, hacen relevante la revisión de estrategias en el proceso de formación docente. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa y cuantitativa con 16 profesores de los últimos años de Educación Primaria y Secundaria de la lengua portuguesa de la red de escuelas públicas que trabajaron con estudiantes Sordos en algún momento de su experiencia docente. Fueron seleccionados 8 profesores de la Educación Inclusiva y 8 de una escuela Bilingüe para Sordos. Se utilizó el software NVivo10 para el análisis de datos. En la formación inicial, los docentes no tuvieron contacto con la Lengua de Señas ni estrategias metodológicas específicas para la enseñanza de Sordos. En la educación continua, la enseñanza más eficaz fue la de otros profesores con más experiencia. Destaca una dicotomía entre los profesores de las escuelas inclusivas y los de la escuela bilingüe para Sordos, donde los primeros utilizam la Lengua Brasileña de Señales – Libras como una lengua accesoria para la enseñanza del portugués escrito, ya, los docentes de la escuela bilíngue la utilizan como lengua de instrucción con el uso del metalenguaje. En cuanto a las concepciones, los docentes sugirieron algunas prácticas en formación para trabajar con el público Sordo. Por tanto, es fundamental invertir en escuelas inclusivas y bilingües que trabajen con estudiantes Sordos, así como en la formación continua de los docentes, proponiendo grupos de estudio con todo el equipo pedagógico como parte del proceso de formación.

Abstract To categorize the profile of scientific productivity scholarship researchers of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) in the area of Physical Education. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study, whose participants were researchers in Physical Education scholarship holders of research productivity from CNPq, between 2015 and 2019, evaluated from the lists of productivity scholarships in force at CNPq. Results were categorized for statistical analysis. We found 92 current research productivity grants. Of these, 75% are destined for men, 58.7% fall into the PQ-2 category and most are concentrated in the Southeast region. More than 50% of productivity scholarship counselors do not mentor any postdoctoral students, but rather advise between 1 and 3 doctoral and master’s students. 22.2% of the Midwestern scholarship holders published more than 100 articles and in the Southeast, there are the largest producers of books and book chapters, and about 6% of scholarship holders in this region had more than 20 publications. It can be inferred that there was a higher concentration of Physical Education researchers in the southeast region, with a higher prevalence for males, concentrating the majority of scholarship holders in the PQ-2 area. Through the identification of the profile of the fellows in the Physical Education area, more effective criteria and forms can be better established in order to stimulate scientific production, as well as the demands for the promotion of new research proposals.

RESUMO Buscou-se identificar na literatura os principais obstáculos e dificuldades enfrentadas por pessoas surdas quanto ao acesso à saúde. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, considerando estudos publicados entre 2006 e 2016, utilizando combinações de descritores controlados. As bases de dados virtuais utilizadas foram: LILACS, PUBMED e SciELO, incluindo artigos publicados em Inglês, Português e Espanhol. A amostra final foi composta por 24 artigos, selecionados após análise dos títulos, resumos e textos na íntegra. Os estudos selecionados foram categorizados quanto às principais temáticas e dificuldades enfrentadas pela comunidade surda, sendo principalmente relacionadas à barreira comunicacional existente entre ouvintes e surdos. Tal fato culmina em interferências na relação profissional-paciente, compreensão deficitária das pessoas surdas quanto ao processo saúde-doença e as dificuldades de integração da pessoa surda na comunidade. Na maioria dos estudos analisados, evidenciou-se que as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas pessoas surdas quando buscam atendimento em saúde são ligadas à comunicação, bem como desconhecimento de Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS) por grande parte dos profissionais de saúde. Além disso, também há a necessidade de familiar ou intérprete presente durante a consulta e a falta de compreensão de grande parte da comunidade surda como sujeitos bilíngues e multiculturais.

ABSTRACT The main obstacles faced by deaf people in access to healthcare services were investigated in the literature. This is an integrative literature review, considering studies published between 2006 and 2016, using combinations of controlled descriptors. The virtual databases used were: LILACS, PUBMED and SciELO, including articles published in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The final sample was composed of 24 articles, selected after analysis of titles, abstracts and full texts. The elected studies were categorized according to themes and to the presented difficulties, mainly concerning communication obstacles between deaf and normally hearing people. This fact interferes on the doctor-patient relationship, producing a poor understanding by the deaf community about the health-disease process and causing a challenging integration of those people in the society. The majority of the analyzed studies indicated that the main obstacles faced by the deaf regarding the access to healthcare services are communication related, especially the healthcare professionals unfamiliarity with the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). In addition, there is also the need for a family member or interpreter to be present during the consultation. Furthermore, the lack of perception on the hearing society part, of the deaf community as bilingual and multicultural subjects, was verified.

Objetivo verificar a associação entre o nível socioeconômico e a presença de síndrome metabólica (SM) em escolares da rede pública da cidade de Montes Claros-MG. Métodos trata-se de estudo transversal, analítico. Foram avaliados 382 escolares entre 10 e 16 anos, a partir da amostragem por conglomerados. A condição socioeconômica foi dividida em alta e baixa e a SM foi diagnosticada utilizando os critérios da International Diabetes Federation. Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se o teste qui-quadrado (p < 0,05)e oddsratio (com intervalo de 95% de confiança). Resultados os escolares da classe socioeconômica baixa apresentaram alterações no estado nutricional e nos exames laboratoriais, o que contribuiu para presença da SM em 8,7% escolares. Conclusão a condição socioeconômica baixa contribui de forma significante para o diagnótico da SM e atua também na incidência dessa patologia, devido os seus pertencentes estarem mais expostos aos fatores de risco.

Purpose to investigate the association between socioeconomic status and the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in public schools in the city of Montes Claros-MG. Methods this is a cross-sectional study, analytical. We evaluated 382 children between 10 and 16 years from the cluster sampling.
