Objective: To characterize patients undergoing cardiac surgery at a referral hospital in northern of Ceara. Method:
This is a quantitative and descriptive study using documentary analysis carried out by 176 medical records in
accordance with the ethical aspects of Resolution 196/96. Results: We identified predominantly men, married, living in
distant cities of the health service and a greater tendency for people over 40 years old. The hospital stay was low,
contributing to reduction of risks related to hospitalization, also reducing the cost of these services, for influencing
turnover and availability of beds. Discussion: This study shows high turnover and effectiveness of the service, allowing
also envision that the primary surgery is coronary artery bypass surgery in men with the duration of hospitalization in
about four days. Conclusion: We found that despite the risks of a cardiovascular surgery in the studied hospital, the
patients recover with a great success

Este trabalho de pesquisa pretendeu, a partir de narrativas autobiográficas de jovens em processo de formação para a docência, fazer um levantamento comparativo das condições em que se desenvolveram as práticas lúdicas de três gerações de brincantes: estudantes do curso de pedagogia da Universidade Federal do Ceará, seus pais e avós. A pesquisa assenta sobre duas ordens de inquietações: a interrogação acerca do papel das práticas lúdicas na constituição da infância e, por consequência, nas práticas educativas; e o papel do discurso autobiográfico na formação docente. As referências teóricas da socioantropologia do jogo; da sociologia da infância, da abordagem historiográfica do brinquedo e da pesquisa autobiográfica, fazendo dialogar objeto e método, apontam para a indissociável relação entre pesquisa e formação. O procedimento metodológico prevê o resgate das experiências lúdicas do passado, por uma turma de alunos da disciplina de Práticas Lúdicas, Identidade Cultural e Educação da Criança, do curso de Pedagogia da UFC, através da elaboração escrita de narrativas autobiográficas sobre suas memórias de infância, de seus pais e de seus avós. Os resultados sinalizam para um intenso envolvimento dos sujeitos no processo de construção das narrativas que não apenas deu visibilidade à relatividade histórica das formas de brincar, mas também possibilitou uma reconfiguração do passado em relação a si mesmo e, sobretudo, uma leitura objetiva dos vínculos sociais que o engendram, possibilitando um percurso formativo autorreferenciado.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The article presents a historical analysis of the participation of women in Portuguese politics and reveals the positive effects of the introduction of the parity law in 2006. In the 2015 national elections, for the first time one third of the elected the Members of the Portuguese Parliament were women. However, in municipalities there is still a long way to go to reach this level of female political representation. Does the political system limit women's access only to elected positions? Thus, important questions remain: why are women still a minority in local politics? What obstacles do they encounter? And what can be done to improve the situation? Materials and Methods: For this investigation, data were collected on the electronic pages of municipalities and political parties, as well as in the press, to monitor the evolution of the presence of women in Portuguese local government, initially as members of the administrative commissions appointed to manage municipal councils from 1974 to the first elections that took place on December 12, 1976 and then as elected representatives from 1976 to the latest 2017 local elections, comparing this level with central government. Results: The study of this group reveals higher educational levels and more specialized jobs among women than among men, particularly in teaching and management. There is also discussion of partisan membership and it is revealed that left-wing parties invest more in women for local government than do right-wing parties. Discussion: Although four decades have passed since the democratic regime was established, the representation of women in politics is still incipient. We present some examples of policy actions that can encourage the presence of women in local government and increase their role as active citizens.

Background: Biodiversity is essential for its instrumental, scientific, and political values, and its knowledge is vital to promote its preservation. Objectives: This study identified and analysed the presence of knowledge related to biodiversity in Biology and/or multidisciplinary items in the National High School Examination (ENEM) over ten years between 2009 and 2018. Design: Longitudinal study, based on qualitative methodology. Setting and participants: Education and science experts participated in the analyses. Data collection and analysis: Data were collected on the INEP website. Analyses performed by researchers and an expert panel. Results: We found a clear prevalence of the category "Ecology and Environmental Sciences" in the items, which is in agreement with the literature. However, we also found a disproportionate distribution of questions concerning the categories of the reference matrix of the discipline of Biology. Furthermore, there is significant variability in the theme in different years. We discussed the consequences for curriculum and conservation. Conclusions: There is an imbalance that reveals a dominant trend, acting as a structuring element of the questions, that silences other major areas of Biology and can influence the curriculum and practices of secondary school teachers. The high variability of the occurrence of the biodiversity theme in Biology tests suggests a non-harmonic relationship, which may be associated with the statistical demands of the IRT modelling, between the selection of questions and the reference matrix of the Biology categories, with possible consequences for the curriculum.

Tot nu toe is casestudyonderzoek vooral gebruikt voor het exploreren van situaties met het doel om over deze situaties theorie te ontwikkelen. Niet eerder is er uitgebreid gepubliceerd over het toetsen van theorie door middel van de gevalstudie. Jan Dul en Tony Hak beschrijven in hun boek Case Study Methodology in Business Research structuren en richtlijnen om proposities te testen door middel van casestudyonderzoek. Op 1 november jongstleden werd er door het Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) een seminar georganiseerd ter gelegenheid van het verschijnen van dit boek. Vanwege het vernieuwende onderwerp en de aangekondigde sprekers was er zeer veel animo om deze bijeenkomst bij te wonen. De organisatie had een groot aantal aanmeldingen moeten weigeren, maar dankzij mijn vroege aanmelding kon ik, net als zo'n vijftig anderen, hierbij aanwezig zijn.
