Participation by fathers in the process of childbirth, an aspect of the humanization of obstetric care, helps foster the fathers' involvement in raising their children. This participation provides psychosocial support for pregnant women during labor and delivery, sharing of the experience by the couple, and father-child bonding. The focus of this ethnographic research was the impact of this process on fathers participating in childbirth at a State hospital in Rio de Janeiro, with two stages: participant observation of labor and delivery and eleven interviews with fathers who had been present at delivery. Fathers' participation was influenced by: the motivation of mothers and fathers; social representations of delivery and fatherhood; and exclusion of fathers from reproductive health and pediatrics services. The father's participation was not valued by the attending staff as either a source of emotional support for the mother or as part of fatherhood. The following are necessary: inclusion of fathers in prenatal care, delivery, and pediatrics services; the training of staff to work with the families; social discussion of fatherhood and health services policies to ensure the presence of fathers during labor and childbirth.
In the last five years, a number of detailed anatomical, electrophysiological, optical imaging and simulation studies performed in a variety of non-human species have revealed that the functional organization of callosal connections between primary visual areas is more elaborate than previously thought. Callosal cell bodies and terminals are clustered in columns whose correspondence to features mapped in the visual cortex, such as orientation and ocularity, are starting to be understood. Callosal connections are not restricted to the vertical midline representation nor do they establish merely point-to-point retinotopic correspondences across the hemispheres, as traditionally believed. In addition, anatomical studies have revealed the existence of an ipsilateral component of callosal axons. The aim of this short review is to propose how these new data can be integrated into an updated scheme of the circuits responsible for assembling the primary visual field map.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the impact of a participatory sexual health promotion program implemented in a poor community and describe how the use of public and private spaces for sex is a factor that exacerbates vulnerability to HIV/Aids.
O artigo trata das relações entre gerenciamento de impressão (GI) e comportamento de candidatos a cargos de gerência intermediária e de selecionadores em entrevista de seleção. Trata-se de pesquisa exploratória, realizada em duas consultorias de RH, tendo como sujeitos trinta candidatos e quatro selecionadoras. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas individuais, observações diretas e fontes documentais, sendo analisados à luz do referencial teórico. Os resultados indicam que candidatos e selecionadoras empregam estratégias e táticas de GI durante a entrevista de seleção. Percebe-se, ainda, uma homogeneização das orientações oferecidas aos candidatos, bem como do comportamento destes durante a entrevista de seleção, que resulta de modos de subjetivação ou de produção de estilos de vida que constroem sujeitos camaleônicos.
