Abstract:VIOLENCE AGAINST THE ELDERLY: THE THIRD PART AS A PSYCHIC REGULATORThe paper proposes reflections on the idea that the ingress of a third part in the relationship marked by violence, especially against the elderly, contributes to alter the dysfunctional model and to stabilize the guiding moral behaviors boundaries. It is not to consider that the aggressor hesitates in front of a third part to avoid the social disapproval or the punishment, but it is to observe that the psyche loosens the bounds with the social conventions in the absence of an element which sustains the constitutive triangulation of the moral space especially in stressful situations. The theoretical readings related to the proposition are made from the psychoanalysis contributions mainly in which it refers to the updating of the paternal role; the systemic model, particularly due the changes that occur in the system when there are alterations in its composition; and the social learning regarding the exposure to models to be adopted as source of vicarious schooling. It still proposes reflections over the aging context in the contemporary society, considering the increase on the number of elderly people, the demands of work which take to the deflation of the inner space in the family and thelongevity as a collective reality that the mankind is not aware of and which requires to be signified, invented and appraised.Keywords: Violence. Elderly. Family. Society.Resumo:O trabalho propõe reflexões sobre a ideia de que o ingresso de um terceiro na relação marcada pela violência, em especial contra o idoso, contribui para alterar o modelo disfuncional, estabilizar os marcos morais norteadores do comportamento. Não se trata de considerar que o agressor contenha-se frente a um terceiro para evitar o rechaço social ou a punição, mas de observar que o psiquismo afrouxa os laços com as regras sociais na ausência de um elemento que sustente a triangulação constitutiva do espaço moral, especialmente, em situações de estresse. As leituras teóricas acerca da proposição são feiras a partir de contributos da psicanálise, sobretudo no que se refere à atualização da função paterna; do modelo sistêmico, particularmente no que tange à mudança do sistema quando de alterações em sua composição; e da aprendizagem social, relativamente à exposição à modelos a serem adotados como fonte de aprendizagem vicária. Propõe, ainda, reflexões sobre o contexto do envelhecimento na sociedade contemporânea, considerando o aumento do numero de pessoas idosas, as demandas de trabalho, esvaziando o interior do espaço familiar, e a longevidade como realidade coletiva que a humanidade não conhece e que precisa ser significada, inventada, valorada.Palavras-chave: Violência. Idoso. Família. Sociedade

Aim:  investigate  the  exchange  of  related  support  health  care between the family, inserted in the center of the convoy model, and nurses of primary care.   Method:   descriptive   study,   conducted   with   30   users   of   Primary   Care   of Maracanaú/CE in July 2014. Appealed to the Collective Subject Discourse to organize the data  and  the  convoy  model  for  visualization  of  the  support  exercised  by  the  nurse. Results:  the  nurse  is  a  secondary  source  of  support  to  families;  their actions  are restricted to health facilities, demonstrating the mistaken role of their duties, and have focused on the orientation activities. Discussion: There are nurse's detachment regarding the  assisted  families,  as  well  as  influences  of  the  hegemonic  medical  model,  which distances  the  nurse  from  the  carrying  out  of  their  real  duties.  Conclusion:  nurses  are undervalued and pointed as a secondary reference in relation to families solving health problems.

Superficial and systemic diagnosis of family The distinction between two types of diagnosis of family was inspired by the concept of surface and source features of personality by R.B. Cattell. By means of existing psychological questionnaires we can only know the surface of consciously available mental phenomena. The same is true in the diagnosis of family. The McMaster model of family, systemic in its assumptions, developed research tools giving access only to the surface of the phenomena. Although they are divided into certain thematic categories they do not reveal what is really important in the family system. In this article, the author, after a detailed discussion of one of the tests based on the McMaster theoretical model, is attempting to identify the source features (here: unavailable for conscious cognition) of the family, hereinafter called systemic traits. In this research the exploration factor analysis was used. Three perspectives of the opinion of the family were maintained (like in the Family Assessment Measure). Factor analysis allowed identification of three factors for each perspective of the family assessment. Confirmative analysis proved a satisfactory match (using RMSEA, GFI and AGFI statistics). The accuracy of the identified systemic model was then tested by a confirmation study (confirmative factor analysis using Amos from SPSS). The authors also prepared a provisional questionnaire for measuring these systemic traits of the family. The tool proved to be promising and the work worth continuing. Incidentally, it turned out that the characteristics of the family system are relatively independent of personality traits of family members.

The theme of this chapter explores aspects of professional blindness in the family practice setting. The exploration uses the vehicle of an exercise in practice audit, which resulted in a more meaningful level of interaction between the GP and a particular group of individuals in his practice. What set out as a quantitative exercise in audit inadvertently threw up valuable qualitative insights and reflections on how this family doctor had previously viewed this group of individuals in the past, and more importantly, would do so in the future. In particular, the exercise challenges us to look for and see the ambitions and hopes of those individuals who attend us for medical care, in order to properly respect these important aspects of their humanity, and to assist us in more easily rising beyond the confines unwittingly imposed and accepted by a passive acceptance of disease defined horizons and the medical model. The audit outcomes include improved levels of achievement in the relevant markers of good care, easily and unremarkably measurable in the standard manner. A key outcome, rather more difficult to measure, included an increased respect and recognition of the difficulties, efforts, challenges, fears, hopes and varied realities experienced by this most particular group of eclectically selected individuals.

<p>Section 28 of the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Act 1995 allows people to apply to the Family Court to change the sex marker on their birth certificate. This essay argues that this provision is out-dated and does not serve the needs of the trans community. It is based on the medical model of sex, and requires medical evidence that the applicant’s body conforms sufficiently to that of the “nominated sex”. This essay suggests a reform based on the self-identification model, which exists in Argentina for birth certificates, and in New Zealand for passports and drivers’ licences. Such a reform of s 28 would bring birth certificates in line with these other documents, leading to more consistency and increased respect for the human rights of trans people.</p>

Section 28 of the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Act 1995 allows people to apply to the Family Court to change the sex marker on their birth certificate. This article argues that this provision is outdated and does not go far enough in providing legal recognition for trans people. It is based on the medical model of sex, and requires medical evidence that the applicant's body conforms sufficiently to that of the "nominated sex". The major problem with this requirement is that the required medical interventions are unavailable or undesirable for many trans people, so should not be a basis for legal recognition. The medical model also privileges medical and judicial expertise above a person's own identity and experience. This article suggests a reform based on the self-identification model, which exists in Argentina for birth certificates, and in New Zealand for passports and drivers' licences. Such a reform of s 28 would bring birth certificates in line with these other documents, leading to more consistency and increased respect for the human rights of trans people.

Two Upper Triassic sphinctozoan sponges of the family Sebargasiidae were recovered from silicified residues collected in Hells Canyon, Oregon. These sponges areAmblysiphonellacf.A. steinmanni(Haas), known from the Tethys region, andColospongia whalenin. sp., an endemic species. The latter sponge was placed in the superfamily Porata by Seilacher (1962). The presence of well-preserved cribrate plates in this sponge, in addition to pores of the chamber walls, is a unique condition never before reported in any porate sphinctozoans. Aporate counterparts known primarily from the Triassic Alps have similar cribrate plates but lack the pores in the chamber walls. The sponges from Hells Canyon are associated with abundant bivalves and corals of marked Tethyan affinities and come from a displaced terrane known as the Wallowa Terrane. It was a tropical island arc, suspected to have paleogeographic relationships with Wrangellia; however, these sponges have not yet been found in any other Cordilleran terrane.
