Resumo: Os cursos de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo da área de Ciências da Natureza trazem como um de seus desafios a necessidade de se discutir a formação de professores por área de conhecimento, não para atuar no campo, mas para atuar na Educação do Campo, em que se considere os princípios, especificidades e demandas emergentes desse contexto. Ante a essa perspectiva, o presente trabalho objetivou identificar os desafios e potencialidades para a prática da interdisciplinaridade no Estágio Curricular Supervisionado III, do Curso Interdisciplinar em Educação do Campo: Ciências da Natureza – Licenciatura, da Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS), Campus Erechim. O Estágio III oferece aos educandos a experiência de conhecer diversas organizações educativas do campo e/ou urbanas, realizando observações em instituições de ensino médio, além de trabalhar uma oficina temática interdisciplinar com os alunos desse grau na escola do campo. Para tanto, utilizou-se do método da pesquisa qualitativa e documental, procedendo-se à análise de relatórios do Estágios III. Como resultados, pode-se inferir que ocorrem lacunas e dificuldades para a efetivação de práticas interdisciplinares, dentre essas, especialmente as relacionadas a estrutura curricular fragmentada das escolas e a dificuldade de planejamento coletivo das atividades interdisciplinares. Porém, emergem elementos potencialmente ricos oriundos do processo formativo na Licenciatura em Educação do Campo com habilitação em Ciências da Natureza, destacando-se a aceitação por parte dos alunos de práticas interdisciplinares.Palavras-chave: Formação de professores. Práticas interdisciplinares.

Considering this perspective, the aim of this study was to identify the challenges and potentialities for the interdisciplinary practice in the Supervised Curricular Internship III, of Rural Education Interdisciplinary Course: Natural Sciences – BSc, Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS), Campus Erechim. The Internship III offers to students the opportunity to meet several rural and urban learning institutions, to observe high school institutions, and to work an interdisciplinary workshop with their students in the rural school. This study consisted of a qualitative research and document research, where the reports from Internship II were analysed. The results showed that there are gaps and difficulties for interdisciplinary practice effectiveness, especially the ones related to a fragmented curriculum in the schools and the difficulty of collective planning of interdisciplinary practices. Nevertheless, there are potentially rich elements that come along the process of becoming BSc in Rural Education BA with qualification in Natural Sciences, especially the acceptance of interdisciplinary practice by students.Keywords: Teachers Education, Interdisciplinary Practice, Rural Education.

Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy may lead to death or severe long-term morbidity. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) increases survival without impairments in childhood, but prognostic uncertainty may remain for years after birth. Clear and accurate communication is imperative but challenging. This article explores the predictive value of routinely performed assessments during TH, as well as the qualitative research relating to parental experience. This article will benefit paediatric trainees, consultants and nurse practitioners in providing: (1) the background information needed for initiating a conversation with parents regarding outcome and (2) optimising their communication with parents in translating jargon, prognosis and uncertainty.

Mental illness is a serious problem in the United States. Based on “current epidemiological estimates, at least one in five people has a diagnosable mental disorder during the course of a year.” Fortunately, many of these disorders respond positively to psychotropic medications. While psychiatrists write some of the prescriptions for psychotropic medications, primary care physicians write more of them. State legislatures, seeking to expand patient access to pharmacological treatment, granted physician assistants and nurse practitioners prescriptive authority for psychotropic medications. Over the past decade other groups have gained some form of prescriptive authority. Currently, psychologists comprise the primary group seeking prescriptive authority for psychotropic medications.The American Society for the Advancement of Pharmacotherapy (“ASAP”), a division of the American Psychological Association (“APA”), spearheads the drive for psychologists to gain prescriptive authority. The American Psychological Association offers five main reasons why legislatures should grant psychologists this privilege: 1) psychologists’ education and clinical training better qualify them to diagnose and treat mental illness in comparison with primary care physicians; 2) the Department of Defense Psychopharmacology Demonstration Project (“PDP”) demonstrated non-physician psychologists can prescribe psychotropic medications safely; 3) the recommended post-doctoral training requirements adequately prepare psychologists to prescribe safely psychotropic medications; 4) this privilege will increase availability of mental healthcare services, especially in rural areas; and 5) this privilege will result in an overall reduction in medical expenses, because patients will visit only one healthcare provider instead of two–one for psychotherapy and one for medication.
