Mental illness is a problematic increasing in the mental health scope around the globe. Nowadays, psychotherapy is one of the treatments recommended for this complex issue, been used different theoretical references. Between the therapeutic approaches in Brazil there is the Analytical Behavioral Therapy (ABT), based in the Radical Behaviorism with the intervention focused on the analysis of contingencies active in the analyzed individual’s or group’s context. Recent studies about the process and outcome in ABT have been emphasizing the need of more research with the mean of description of the process and outcome, aiming to amplify evidences of efficacy and efficiency. Between many discussions, it is more urgent the need to delimitate an intervention’s procedure, in group and individually, in procedures with few sessions, i. e., a ABT brief psychotherapy model. The present study aimed to describe a brief psychological support program based in ABT, planed to be developed in up to 12 individual sessions of 50 minutes, weekly. The process developed in this procedure was detailed in its different phases. The main goals of a group of sessions were outlined, the main procedures implemented described, the instruments used outlined, trying to emphasize especially the goal of the therapist in this process. Also, examples of products were inserted, from the intervention with three participants referred from the wait list of the service, offered by a public university in the state of São Paulo. For the insertion of the cases in the present study, the design was submitted and approved by the Ethics Committee for Human Research. General and initial considerations allow the discussion about some difficulties with the model, remote and face-to-face application possibilities and indicating possible paths for future research.

The scope of this course conclusion work involves the application of a new tool for factorial planning for the optimization of experiments using the Python programming language, where the author adapted and compiled three routines of the free program Octave in a library named “pde.py”. To illustrate the use of the tool, the four examples discussed in the article published by the journal Química Nova were reproduced, in which the application of the programming routine in complete (1), fractional (2), Doehlert type (3) factorial planning is approached and discussed. and Box-Behnken (4). The purpose of the work is to present in stages the procedures performed in each example with this new tool, in this way 63 videos were prepared that help the reader throughout the development of the content addressed
Terapias neoadjuvante e adjuvante na excisão cirúrgica direta versus Kelóide Fillet Flap: terapia fotodinâmica injetável como uma promissora opção
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-09-08) Real, Daniel Sundfeld Spiga; Bagnato, Vanderlei Salvador; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4947860249518663; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4147575558120206
Introduction: Keloid and hypertrophic scars are characterized by abnormal responses to the healing process. They present intense production and deposition of collagen and glycoproteins in the dermis, with consequent development of a pathological scar. When carrying out a review of the literature, there is no consensus on which method is best for its management and/or treatment and there are no studies that consider the volume of lesions for the analyzed outcomes, as well as, to date, there is no in the literature, studies using photodynamic therapy (PDT) with injectable methyl aminolevulinate (M-ALA) for the treatment of atrial keloid. Objectives: To compare the keloid resection technique with epidermis and dermis preservation - Keloid Fillet Flap (KFF), with the standard surgical treatment by primary closure, using the standard treatment protocol: neoadjuvant triamcinolone infiltration + surgery + adjuvant beta therapy , proposing the neoadjuvant and adjuvant use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with M-ALA 40% as a promising alternative to the treatment of auricular keloids. Methods: The study design, in its first part, was prospective and randomized in a single center with patients who had keloid in the auricular region. All participating patients were randomly divided into two groups: skin flap (CR) (n = 36 patients); and the KFF group (n = 37 patients). In both groups, neoadjuvant infiltration treatment with triamcinolone 20 mg/ml was performed until the end of the clinical activity of the keloid. After the surgical procedure, 10 sessions of beta-therapy were followed up with adjuvant treatment. In its second part, a pilot study was carried out, following the protocol with injection of M-ALA perilesion and intralesion, at a concentration of 40%, with saline solution at 0.9% as diluent, incubation of 90 min, followed by lighting with the LINCE® device (MMOptics, São Carlos-SP) parameterized with a wavelength of 630nm, 125mW/cm², providing 150J/cm² of energy, performing the application for 20 min. One week later, adjuvant PDT with 20% M-ALA in topical cream was performed, whether or not preceded by surgical resection of the mass. Results: The present study involved 73 patients, 37 from the KFF group and 36 from the CR group. After using scar measurement scales to define the recurrence rate, our study showed a recurrence rate of the total sample of 62%, with the KFF group presenting a rate of 76% and the RC group presenting a rate of 40% (p>0,05). In the KFF group, the mean volume of recurrent lesions was 56 cm³, versus 13.25 cm³ in those that did not recur (p<0,05). In the CR group, the mean volume was 57 cm³ in recurrent lesions and 1.6 cm³ in non-recurrent lesions (p<0,05). In the pilot project, the cases presented volumes of 0.08 cm³ and 1.87 cm³, with no recurrences in three months of follow-up. The volumes needed to maintain the proportion between the amount of M-ALA and the volume of the lesion were determined, standardizing the concentration of M-ALA at 40%, regardless of the volume of the lesion. Conclusion: Current auricular keloid treatment protocols still have high rates of recurrence, which are unacceptable because of the discomfort and aesthetic changes they can cause. There is an unequivocal relationship between the initial volume of lesions and the rate of recurrence, with lesions with volumes above 50 cm³ showing the highest rates. The pilot project developed was able to determine the best concentration of injectable M-ALA, always maintaining the proportion with the volume of the lesion, defined the incubation time after application, optimizing it in the meantime to only 90 min and allowed the visualization of the indication of treatment with PDT based on the volume of injuries, which will allow the creation of new studies already based on the pilot data.
Uma abordagem estatística sobre a estimação de redshifts de quasares usando dados do S-PLUS
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-09-08) Soares, Gabriela Pereira; Nakazono, Lilianne; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8135231533828484; Izbicki, Rafael; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9991192137633896; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5502874487930000
Redshift is a cosmic index used to measure distances to astronomical objects. The study of this quantity is important for the understanding of the expansion of the Universe and the current objective of the stars, according to cosmology. In this work, we are interested in estimating distances of quasars, which are luminous celestial objects known by its high redshifts, indicating that they are at great distances from Earth. The estimation of redshift can be performed via spectroscopy, but this technique has a high cost and requires a large amount of time for cosmic observation. Thus, photometric surveys have been highly valuable in this field, as they also provide relevant information for measuring redshift, despite having low resolution and less precision. The goal of this work is to improve the estimation of photometric redshifts for quasars from S-PLUS (Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey). In order to do that, we build statistical models based on the estimation of conditional densities using the FlexCoDE algorithm. In addition, we study the influence of narrowband filters (narrow bands) on the model, currently available only in S-PLUS, and compare it with the results of a previously developed neural network model, with the purpose of confirming the significance of these bands. We found from the analysis that narrow bands significantly improve the estimates of the conditional density of the photometric redshift, although this improvement is not observed in point estimators for the redshift. However, the diagnosis detected that the tested models, both from FlexCoDE and from neural networks, may be improved.
