Em Pernambuco, ao final do século XVI, muitas mulheres se dirigiram ao inquisidor para denunciar amigos, familiares, conhecidos ou desconhecidos. Apesar das inúmeras possibilidades para explicar essas ações, o ato de procurar o Santo Ofício no intuito de prestar seu depoimento denota a essas fontes grande relevância, pois as vozes femininas emergem nos registros inquisitoriais. Entretanto, as denúncias e seus protagonistas, ou seja, as denunciadoras, suas motivações e o conteúdo das acusações ainda carecem de estudos pormenorizados na historiografia brasileira. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa consiste na análise das denunciantes, ou seja, seu perfil sócio-ocupacional, bem como das relações de conflito que as envolviam e também aquelas suscitadas ou reforçadas pela presença do inquisidor. Constata-se que o esforço pela sobrevivência e as dificuldades do dia-a-dia emergem nas denúncias das mulheres, revelando que a inquisição contribuiu para aflorar lembranças, despertar temores e favorecer o rompimento de relações afetivas ou familiares. Relationships and Conflicts in the Feminine Universe: the Denouncers in the Tribunal of the Holy Office in Portuguese America (16th Century) In Pernambuco, at the end of the sixteenth century, many women went to the inquisitor to denounce friends, relatives, acquaintances or strangers. Despite the innumerable possibilities to explain these actions, the act of seeking the Holy Office in order to give their testimony denotes to these sources a great relevance, since the female voices emerge in the inquisitorial registers. However, the denunciations and their protagonists, that is, the denouncers, their motivations and the content of the accusations still lack detailed studies in the Brazilian historiography. In this sense, this research consists of the analysis of the denouncers, that is, their socio-occupational profile, as well as the conflict relations that involved them, as well as those raised or reinforced by the presence of the inquisitor. It is noted that the struggle for survival and the difficulties of daily life emerge in women's denunciations, revealing that the inquisition contributed to the emergence of memories, to the arousing of fears and to favor the rupture of affective or family relations.

In 2018, as part of an Hotel Project to be built in the area bounded by Rua Vasco da Gama and Rua Santo António (Faro), nine diagnostic surveys and archaeological monitoring of all earth movements were carried out in the area to be intervened, until the allocation level of the work. The archaeological work allowed to unveil part of the old urban layout of Baixa de Faro and contexts associated with the daily life of the population in Modern times. Due to the expansion of the city outside the primitive nucleus (Vila-Adentro), this area was integrated, in the 16th century, by a new walled enclosure, indicating a continuous occupation of the area at present day.

Georgius Agricola in 1556 in his classical book, “De Re Metallica”, mentioned a strange water drawn from a mine shaft near Schmölnitz in Hungary that eroded iron and turned it into copper. This precipitation (or cementation) of copper on iron was employed as a commercial technique for producing copper at the Rio Tinto Mines in Spain in the 16th Century, and it continues today to account for as much as 15 percent of the copper produced by several U.S. copper companies.In addition to the Cu/Fe system, many other similar heterogeneous, electrochemical reactions can occur where ions from solution are reduced to metal on a more electropositive metal surface. In the case of copper precipitation from solution, aluminum is also an interesting system because of economic, environmental (ecological) and energy considerations. In studies of copper cementation on aluminum as an alternative to the historical Cu/Fe system, it was noticed that the two systems (Cu/Fe and Cu/Al) were kinetically very different, and that this difference was due in large part to differences in the structure of the residual, cement-copper deposit.

Abstract Audiologists have a responsibility to counsel patients with auditory concerns on methods to manage the inherent challenges associated with hearing loss at every point in the process: evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and follow-up visits. Adolescents with hearing loss struggle with the typical developmental challenges along with communicative challenges that can erode one's self-esteem and self-worth. The feeling of “not being connected” to peers can result in feelings of isolation and depression. This article advocates the use of a Narrative Therapy approach to counseling adolescents with hearing loss. Adolescents with hearing loss often have problem-saturated narratives regarding various components of their daily life, friendships, amplification, academics, etc. Audiologists can work with adolescents with hearing loss to deconstruct the problem-saturated narratives and rebuild the narratives into a more empowering message. As the adolescent retells their positive narrative, they are likely to experience increased self-esteem and self-worth.

Abstract. Most research in health psychology is based on retrospective self reports, which are distorted by recall biases and have low ecological validity. To overcome such limitations we developed computer assisted diary approaches to assess health related behaviours in individuals’, couples’ and families’ daily life. The event- and time-sampling-based instruments serve to assess appraisals of the current situation, feelings of physical discomfort, current emotional states, conflict and emotion regulation in daily life. They have proved sufficient reliability and validity in the context of individual, couple and family research with respect to issues like emotion regulation and health. As examples: Regarding symptom reporting curvilinear pattern of frequencies over the day could be identified by parents and adolescents; or psychological well-being is associated with lower variability in basic affect dimensions. In addition, we report on preventive studies to improve parental skills and enhance their empathic competences towards their baby, and towards their partner.

Abstract. Background: Gatekeeper training is an effective suicide prevention strategy. However, the appropriate targets of online gatekeeping have not yet been clarified. Aim: We examined the association between the outcomes of online gatekeeping using the Internet and the characteristics of consultation service users. Method: An advertisement to encourage the use of e-mail-based psychological consultation services among viewers was placed on web pages that showed the results of searches using suicide-related keywords. All e-mails received between October 2014 and December 2015 were replied to as part of gatekeeping, and the obtained data (responses to an online questionnaire and the content of the received e-mails) were analyzed. Results: A total of 154 consultation service users were analyzed, 35.7% of whom were male. The median age range was 20–29 years. Online gatekeeping was significantly more likely to be successful when such users faced financial/daily life or workplace problems, or revealed their names (including online names). By contrast, the activity was more likely to be unsuccessful when it was impossible to assess the problems faced by consultation service users. Conclusion: It may be possible to increase the success rate of online gatekeeping by targeting individuals facing financial/daily life or workplace problems with marked tendencies for self-disclosure.

Abstract. In this article, the authors provide an empirical analysis of the obtrusiveness of and participants' compliance with a relatively new psychological ambulatory assessment method, called the electronically activated recorder or EAR. The EAR is a modified portable audio-recorder that periodically records snippets of ambient sounds from participants' daily environments. In tracking moment-to-moment ambient sounds, the EAR yields an acoustic log of a person's day as it unfolds. As a naturalistic observation sampling method, it provides an observer's account of daily life and is optimized for the assessment of audible aspects of participants' naturally-occurring social behaviors and interactions. Measures of self-reported and behaviorally-assessed EAR obtrusiveness and compliance were analyzed in two samples. After an initial 2-h period of relative obtrusiveness, participants habituated to wearing the EAR and perceived it as fairly unobtrusive both in a short-term (2 days, N = 96) and a longer-term (10-11 days, N = 11) monitoring. Compliance with the method was high both during the short-term and longer-term monitoring. Somewhat reduced compliance was identified over the weekend; this effect appears to be specific to student populations. Important privacy and data confidentiality considerations around the EAR method are discussed.

Abstract. Intraindividual variability, along with the more frequently studied between-person variability, has been argued to be one of the basic building blocks of emotional experience. The aim of the current study is to examine whether intraindividual variability in affect predicts tiredness in daily life. Intraindividual variability in affect was studied with the experience sampling method in a group of 110 participants (aged between 19 and 84 years) during 14 consecutive days on seven randomly determined occasions per day. The results suggest that affect variability is a stable construct over time and situations. Our findings also demonstrate that intraindividual variability in affect has a unique role in predicting increased levels of tiredness at the momentary level as well at the level of individuals.
