Objective: to evaluate the system to outline the graduate students from the Post-Graduate Programs of CAPES Medicine III area. Method: it was analyzed the book of indicators and the Document of Area of the Post-Graduate Programs of Surgery, also checking the literature about this issue. Results: there was a paucity of data from most of the programs, as regards to the methods for evaluation of graduate students. The current system lacks a standard and an institutional support to outline the graduate students. In the public system there is a concentration of postgraduate students in Medicine; however, they represent a small part of those Brazilians students who finished their graduation courses in Medicine. In the current context, the quest for the post graduate courses and consequently for a research field or even a teaching career, has been replaced by the private sector jobs and the labor market, both in non-academic assistance activities. Conclusion: it is imperative to establish not only science and technology innovation policies but also educational and health policies acting harmoniously and stimulating the qualification and the teaching career, improving the post-graduate courses. It is necessary to develop a single form under the institutional guidance of CAPES with the conception of a National Program for Graduate Student in order to consolidate guidelines to mapping the graduate students of post-graduate programs in surgery, in our country.

This text deals with the notion formulated by Gaston Bachelard of oneiric childhood, which refers to a permanent childhood that is renewed through active imagination and poetic reverie, promoting an articulation between memory and imagination in our awaken dreams. Aiming to give visibility and more reflection on the bachelardian oneiric childhood, we have investigated the approaches of this phenomenon within works of post-graduate students supervised by Ana Laudelina F. Gomes in the Research Group in which we participate - Mythos-Logos:religion, myth and spirituality. After doing a bibliographical research on thesis, dissertations and papers written by some of the members that are part of the group which works with such a notion, like Badiali (2016), Batista (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), Eustáquio (2015, 2016), Melo (2012) and Gomes (2013b), it was noticed how this theme was recurring in a lot of different works. I perceived that reading these studies has triggered my own oneiric childhood, as it is in a ritual of anthropophagic readings. My infant being was fed by the narratives and images of those childhoods, which further expanded my poetic reveries, experience and reflection on the theme. Therefore, I have decided to present within this article some of the repercussions these readings provoked in me, stems from the collective orientation given by the supervisor Professor and sometimes by an invited person, when all the postgraduate students involved in the research read and make comments on the studies of one another.   Keywords: Childhood; Gaston Bachelard; Oneiric Poetry;  Anthropophagic Readings;

The study assessed the influence of Responsive disorder on the academic performance of married post-graduate students in North Eastern Universities in Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated in harmony with the objectives of the study. The design of this study is survey. The population of the study consist of 22,772 married post-graduate students from 4 Universities in North-east, Nigeria. The sample size for the study was 422 determined using the Proportionate sampling strategy employed at different levels in selection of postgraduate students from the four Universities and along gender lines. The researcher developed two instruments for data collection for the study titled: Students’ Responsive disorder Inventory and Research and Statistics Achievement Test. The reliabilities of the instruments yielded 0.84 and 0.87 reliability coefficients of internal consistency for SRDI and RSAT respectively. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data related to the research questions. Linear regression statistic was used to test the formulated null hypotheses. It was found that postgraduate students face Responsive disorder even with an above average level academic performance. However, Responsive disorder significantly influenced academic achievement of postgraduate students who are married in Universities in North-east Nigeria. Also, Responsive disorder significantly predicts academic achievement of postgraduate students irrespective of gender. The study concludes that there is relatively high level agreement among postgraduate students in the North-east states with respect to the Responsive disorder faced by them. The finding debunks traditional beliefs that married people are more likely to perform poorly or even drop-out. This study found support for the position that married people may beat the single and even complete their studies before the singles. The study recommends among others that; coping strategies be evolved to help resolve the debacle; Scholarships should be awarded to students to reduce the financial burden, and, efforts should be invested in promoting emotional health among post-graduate students in order to mellow the negative effect on their academic performance.

Now days, patients are using legal routes to settle their grievances against doctors; hence, knowledge and awareness of medico-legal aspects amongst periodontists have become utmost important. Aim: To assess the knowledge and awareness about medico-legal aspects amongst periodontal post-graduate students in the region of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted using a specially designed pre-validated questionnaire in a total of 100 participants comprising periodontal post graduate students in the region of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions on legal requirements, record keeping, periodontal surgeries and implants treatment specific issues and consent. The data was collected, Chi‑square test was applied to individual questions, analysed, and results were formulated. Results: This survey suggested that there is inadequate awareness regarding medico-legal issues among periodontal postgraduate students. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to conduct more medico-legal awareness programmes and educate our budding specialists and all periodontalcommunity regarding the same. Regulatory bodies like the Dental Council of India (DCI) and associations like the Indian Society of Periodontology (ISP), Indian Society of Oral Implantologists (ISOI)should also formulate standard guidelines/protocol on managing periodontal surgeries and implant patients to help protect against unnecessary litigations against periodontal community.

Background: Previous studies revealed that the undergraduate medical students have a poor perception about the anaesthesiologists. But, there is paucity of such studies on the postgraduate students. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the perception of the first year post graduate students pursuing anaesthesiology on various professional aspects of this speciality.Methods: A questionnaire-based anonymous cross-sectional survey was conducted on 63 first year postgraduate students of anaesthesiology from seven medical colleges under the West Bengal University of Health Sciences. Data were collected from the students on the day of admission. The questionnaire elicited information on demographic characteristics, functions and health hazards of anaesthesiologists and perception of students about this discipline. The responses were sorted out, coded and analyzed.Results: Involvement in the intra-operative period (84%), critical care (58%), and chronic pain management (40%) were recognized as major functions of an anaesthesiologist. Their role in preoperative and postoperative care was appreciated only by 16% and 18% students respectively. 48% students mentioned ignorance about health hazards associated with practise of anaesthesiology. They considered this discipline stressful, dependent and unrecognised.Conclusions: This study concludes that there exists an inconsistent perception of the roles of anesthesiologists among the new post graduate students. It specifically identifies various potential areas to improve student’s awareness regarding the widespread domain of this discipline.Journal of Society of Anesthesiologists of Nepal 2015; 2(2): 67-72
