Faz-se necessário refletir as práticas de educação em saúde e o papel do profissional que a executa de forma responsável. São considerados diversas variáveis que influenciam na sistemática do desenvolvimento da mesma, como as metodologias empregadas pelo educador, o conhecimento deste a respeito do seu público alvo e das necessidades que os mesmos possuem, assim como a influência do acesso ao serviço de saúde para a eficácia da educação em saúde. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, analítico, retrospectivo, caracterizado como revisão sistemática. Desenvolver a educação em saúde com eficácia demanda diversos conhecimentos, além de planejar os propósitos envolvidos. O público alvo, as necessidades reais e os indicadores epidemiológicos e demográficos complementam o hall de variáveis importantes para a concretização do processo. Deve-se, ainda, ponderar as características desta comunidade envolvida, desvendando o conhecimento prévio e de educação básica afim de não subjulgar tampouco supervalorizar aquilo que se acredita como verdade. Conclui-se que a noção de territorialidade, didática, compreensão dos princípios da atenção primária e formação de vínculos são essenciais para que a conquista do tema possa acontecer, além do envolvimento do profissional que está à frente desta comunidade.   Palavras-chave: Aprendizagem. Pessoal da Saúde. Saúde da Família.   Abstract It is necessary to reflect the health education practices and the role of the professional who performs it responsibly. Several variables are considered that influence the educator’s systematic development, such as the methodologies employed by the educator, his or her knowledge of his or her target audience and of the needs they have, as well as the influence of health service access  on the health education effectiveness. This is a descriptive, analytical, retrospective study characterized as a systematic review. To develop health education effectively requires several types of knowledge, in addition to planning the purposes involved. The target audience, the real needs and the epidemiological and demographic indicators complement the hall of variables that are important for the process implementation. It is also necessary to consider the characteristics of this community involved, revealing the prior knowledge and basic education in order not to underjudge or overvalue what is believed to be true. It is concluded that the notion of territoriality, didactics, understanding of the primary care principles and bonds formation  are essential for the conquest of the theme to happen, in addition to the professional involvement who is at the head of this community   Keywords: Learning.

Protreptikos - the Exhortation for Scientific TourismThe presented paper focuses primarily on the tourism activities of teaching staff at universities and other research institutions. This applies in particular to travel during which the principal purpose is, inter alia, various exploratory internships, conferences, trips as a guest professor or a visiting professor under the auspices of the Erasmus and Erasmus Mundus programs. These peregrinations require extra effort, not only with regards to teaching and research duties, but also present opportunities to confront, test and evaluate one's own research results and outlook with new listeners in new locations in different environments. This travel especially applies to the foreign environment, a situation that presents high degrees of professional, scientific and linguistic challenges, resulting in increased contributions and activity to the specific field of science. Regardless of the workload and the difficulties of the discussed travel, such travel can also bring about much personal satisfaction: a) due to a sense of a well done job as a result of meeting expectations of the employer and the host placed on the ‘messenger of science’ and b) due to the pleasure associated with those tourist experiences having autotelic and pragmatic (instrumental) overtones.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of educational material to improve knowledge about cognitive impairment and dementia and communication between district nurses (DNs) and nursing assistants (NAs). Questionnaires were administered before and 4 months after the intervention in Stockholm, Sweden. Total number of subjects included were 12 DNs and 72 NAs. The DNs provided education for the NAs on dementia and how to communicate with the DNs. NAs’ understanding of what they should report to DNs improved as did their perceived communication with the DNs but they still did not report more than before the intervention, and exchange of information and feedback did not improve. DNs thought communication with the NAs did not work well. Participants experienced the educational materials as positive.

You have reached the mandatory retirement age of 65 and gave your farewell lecture on 6 June last. High time to have an interview with you! After Itinerario was founded by George Winius and you in 1976, you yourself did many of the interviews. Interviews were and still are rather uncommon in scholarly journals. Why did you start them?It was a mixture of egoism and curiosity. We meant the journal to be a research journal, so apart from publishing articles we had two things in mind: to speak with prominent people active in the field and also to do special reports on archives and research institutions. George and I loved to ask colleagues about their backgrounds, their personal interests and their approaches to teaching and research. The interviews worked out well, but it turned out to be very difficult to find people who were willing to write about their experiences in foreign archives.

ABSTRACT Objective: to validate an educational booklet for use on mobile devices on breastfeeding for family caregivers of newborns and infants. Method: a methodological research conducted from August 2017 to November 2018. Six stages were used to construct the booklet: search for themes based on literature review; theoretical study of the themes; booklet development; booklet validation by expert judges; booklet validation by the target audience; adequacy of educational material. Validation by expert judges took place via email and by the target audience at a rooming-in of a municipal hospital in Rio das Ostras, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Content Validity Index was used for validation. Results: the study obtained as a final result the construction and validation of an educational booklet entitled “Uncomplicating Breastfeeding”. The booklet was considered satisfactory, presenting an overall Content Validity Index among judges of 0.94 and among the target audience, of 0.98. However, all judges suggested improvements in the booklet, being considered and modified for the final version of the material, which will be made available on a link for mobile devices. Conclusion: the constructed educational booklet was validated for content and appearance by judges and the target audience, obtaining satisfactory indexes. It is an educational technology that can be used by health professionals and family caregivers of newborns and infants aiming at promoting breastfeeding and, consequently, reducing early weaning rates.

Recently cloud computing has offered attractive solutions for academic and research institutions due to several reasons. In this chapter, the authors present a study of how cloud computing can be used for research and teaching activities in higher educational and research institutions in developing countries. Instead of focusing on cloud computing offering for basic IT infrastructures used in daily work of these institutions, the authors concentrate on the use of cloud computing for satisfying ad hoc needs of computing resources in research and teaching activities. Thorough analyses of research and teaching activities, requirements for cloud computing, benefits of utilizing cloud computing, and adoption barriers for these activities are also included. The authors then present the selected challenges in tackling these barriers and discuss possible approaches for solving these challenges and report lessons learned and experiences in utilizing and developing cloud computing solutions for teaching and research activities in Vietnam.

Nowadays a language presents a great interest not only as an independent phenomenon but also as a means of communication. In the course of a verbal communication between interlocutors there is an exchange of information as well as a manipulative influence. The latter is one of the main elements of an effective educational process.Euphemism is a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant. It is the act or an example of substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive. Euphemisms with communicative function of evasiveness, politeness, and concealing, play dual parts in everyday social lives.Euphemism, a kind of polite language, can combine the teachers’ role and the students’ personalityfactors together. A verbal manipulation made by a teacher-manipulator with the help of euphemisms promotes improvement and an effective transformation of all the components moving an educational process forward. It regulates a positive interpersonal communication between a teacher and a student as well as within the class; it influences the work with the educational material and its further presentation; it creates a favourable working atmosphere during the lesson.

The purpose of this document is to provide readers with a resource of different ongoing standardization efforts within the ‘omics’ (genomic, proteomics, metabolomics) and related communities, with particular focus on toxicological and environmental applications. The review includes initiatives within the research community as well as in the regulatory arena. It addresses data management issues (format and reporting structures for the exchange of information) and database interoperability, highlighting key objectives, target audience and participants. A considerable amount of work still needs to be done and, ideally, collaboration should be optimized and duplication and incompatibility should be avoided where possible. The consequence of failing to deliver data standards is an escalation in the burden and cost of data management tasks.
