Espera-se que os resultados possam auxiliar a promoção de saúde ampliada, politização para o autocuidado em saúde, formação de coletivos de cuidado, maiores articulações entre a educação e a saúde.

Although people commonly remember and recreate the tempo of musical pieces with high accuracy, comparatively less is known regarding sources of potential variation in musical tempo memory. This study therefore aimed to investigate musical tempo memory accuracy and the effects of reference tempo, reproduction method, musical expertise, and their interaction. A sample of 403 individuals with varying levels of musical training participated in the experimental online study, including nonmusicians, amateur musicians, and professional musicians. Participants were tasked with reproducing the tempos of 19 popular pop/rock songs using two methods: tempo tapping and adjusting the tempo of the audio file based on the previously tapped tempo. Results from multilevel models revealed overall high accuracy in tempo memory, with tempo adjusting yielding greater accuracy compared with tempo tapping. Higher musical expertise was associated with increased accuracy in tempo production. In addition, we observed a quadratic effect of reference tempo, with the greatest accuracy in tempo reproduction around 120 bpm. Gender, age, familiarity with the pieces, and accompaniment strategies were also associated with greater accuracy. These findings provide insights into the factors influencing musical tempo memory and have implications for understanding the cognitive processes involved in tempo perception and reproduction.

Recent evidence suggested the existence of a spatial associations for music tempo with faster left-hand responses to relatively slow tempos and faster right-hand responses to relatively fast tempos. We refer to a study that systematically explored these spatial associations across different tempo ranges, revealed a clear effect only in the fast tempo range (DOI 10.3758/s13414-019-01945-8 ). The present study further investigated whether a spatial association exists across different tempo ranges ( i.e. , “full”, “slow” or “fast” tempo range). In particular, the present study was conducted aiming (1) to test the spatial associations for tempo in the full tempo range (Experiment 1) and (2) to further investigate the occurrence of this spatial associations in the slow and fast tempo ranges (Experiment 2). Experiment 1 revealed a spatial association for tempo occurs in the full tempo range (40–200 bpm). Experiment 2 confirmed this association in the fast tempo range (133–201 bpm) but showed contradictory results in the slow tempo range (40–104 bpm). This suggests that a spatial association is plausible in the slow tempo range, although further research is needed to clarify this phenomenon.

Tempo of music performance is often accelerated irrespective of players’ intention. Though the characteristics of the tempo deviation phenomenon have been investigated using a finger-tapping task, most such studies dealt with tapping with a fixed interval and intensity; few studies considered the effects of rhythm and accent, both important factors of music performance. Here, we asked how different rhythm and accent patterns affected the tempo-keeping property using a synchronization-continuation task paradigm: Participants were asked to keep tapping with reproducing the given rhythm/accent patterns designated by the target tones. Tapping tempo was significantly deviated depending on rhythm/accent patterns, but their magnitudes were only several percent in 150 s, much smaller than those in real music performance. We also ran experiments in the conditions that participants need not reproduce the accent patterns but only response tones were accented. These auditory modulations affected the tempo deviation, implying that perceptual processes induced by the auditory feedback also influence the tempo maintenance. Inter-tap intervals (ITIs) were modulated by the accent pattern, but no clear relationship was observed between ITI fluctuations and long-term tempo deviation, suggesting that different mechanisms are involved. In sum, the present finding shows that non-uniform motor actions required for music articulation can disturb the long-term tempo maintenance but their effect is rather small. We also reported the tempo deviation when the response tone was modulated by loudness (crescendo vs. diminuendo) or pitch (ascending vs. descending).

The past two decades have witnessed substantial interest in sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), a set of symptoms (e.g., excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, slowed behavior) distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other psychopathology symptoms. Despite evidence linking SCT to a range of functional outcomes, findings for academic functioning are unclear. The current review summarizes the literature on SCT and academic functioning and offers an agenda for future research. A systematic review was conducted to identify studies assessing SCT and academic outcomes, including academic impairments and performance, in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. Sixty studies were retained (53 cross-sectional, 7 longitudinal) from 44 separate samples, with the majority (n = 32, 53%) assessing global ratings of academic impairment and fewer measuring specific academic domains or standardized achievement test scores. Findings were generally consistent in showing SCT to be correlated with global ratings of academic impairment, lower grades, and inconsistently associated with poorer math and reading scores. Findings were more mixed when controlling for ADHD symptoms, intelligence, and/or demographic factors. Overall, SCT is associated with poorer academic functioning, although inconsistencies and key limitations are common across studies. Ten directions for future research are offered to advance understanding of how SCT may be associated with or impact academic functioning.

Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) was initially studied in the context of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but is now recognized as a distinct disorder. Despite the growing recognition of SCT, its impact on academic achievement among adolescents remains controversial, even when controlling for the level of ADHD. This may be due to the influence of other factors such as learning engagement and emotional distress. To address this gap, we conducted a longitudinal study with a sample of 782 Chinese senior high school students, measuring their SCT, learning engagement, and emotional distress at Grade 10 (Time1, T1) to predict their academic achievement evaluated based on final exams scores five months later (Time2, T2). Results showed that learning engagement mediated the negative relationship between SCT and later academic achievement. Additionally, individuals with high SCT showed less impact by emotional distress on learning engagement. These findings may shed light on the complex interplay between SCT, emotional distress and learning engagement in shaping academic achievement, underscoring the potential adaptive function of SCT as a coping strategy for managing emotional challenges.

A adoção no Brasil sofreu alterações ao longo do tempo, ocorrendo de diferentes formas e representações. Buscando contribuir para uma mudança de perspectiva, surgiram os Grupos de Estudos e Apoio à Adoção. Esta pesquisa procurou analisar o trabalho realizado por estes grupos verificando as possíveis contribuições da participação dos pais adotivos ou pretendentes à adoção, bem como analisar, mediante a perspectiva dos profissionais forenses, os possíveis fatores que contribuem para este sucesso. Esta é uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, envolvendo como participantes pais implicados no processo de adoção e funcionários do Serviço Social Forense. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio da entrevista semiestruturada, cujos dados foram analisados posteriormente por meio de 4 categorias temáticas. Os resultados encontrados apontam que os grupos de estudos e apoio à adoção se constituem como uma importante rede de apoio emocional durante o tempo de espera pela adoção, na medida em que amenizam a ansiedade sentida pelos pretendentes e favorecem a troca de experiências e a construção de conhecimentos sobre o assunto. Os principais fatores contribuintes para o sucesso das adoções são a orientação, as trocas de experiências, a participação nas reuniões e em cursos preparatórios realizados pelo Poder Judiciário. Com este estudo, pôde-se concluir que as práticas de orientação e preparação à parentalidade, bem como as trocas de experiências possuem um papel significativo no sucesso das adoções. Também se concluiu que há diferenças entre as expectativas dos pretendentes e do Poder Judiciário em relação ao processo de adoção.

Salen-type complexes with transition metals and corresponding polymers attract great scientific interest due to their outstanding electrochemical properties and catalytic potential. Cobalt complexes of this kind are known as catalysts for a large variety of redox reactions, including oxygen reduction. Herein, we report the preparation of a modified cobalt Salen-type complex, modified by TEMPO pendants linked to the core by flexible butylenedioxy linkers. The resulting product was characterized by electrospray–high-resolution mass spectrometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.

The internal and external validity of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) relative to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-inattention (ADHD-IN) was evaluated with Turkish children and adolescents. Parents completed the SCT, ADHD-IN, ADHD-hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), callous-unemotional (CU), anxiety, depression, social impairment, and academic impairment scales of the Child and Adolescent Behavior Inventory (CABI) on 1015 Turkish children and adolescents (56% girls; ages 6–15 years; Mage = 10.05, SDage = 2.32), including 762 recruited from the community and 253 recruited from outpatient psychiatric clinics. SCT symptoms demonstrated excellent internal validity with the ADHD-IN symptoms. SCT symptoms also showed invariance across boys and girls as well as across community and clinical samples. SCT showed stronger first-order and unique associations than ADHD-IN with anxiety and depression whereas ADHD-IN showed stronger first-order and unique associations than SCT with ADHD-HI, ODD, and academic impairment. SCT and ADHD-IN showed equal associations with CU behaviors and social impairment. The current study is the first to support the validity of CABI SCT scores with Turkish children and adolescents and also replicates the findings from similar studies with children from South Korea, Spain, and United States. These findings thus further strengthen the transcultural validity of CABI SCT scale scores.

A ordenação do tempo de trabalho se delineia de múltiplas formas seja porque é uma questão fundamental na vida cotidiana de todos os trabalhadores, seja porque afeta indiretamente a âmbitos em princípio não laborais. Como objeto de intervenção protetora do Estado os tempos de trabalho são normatizados a nível constitucional e, más especificamente, pelo Direito do Trabalho. Este ensaio apresentará um estudo sistemático das regulamentações jurídicas laborais ao tempo de trabalho partindo da norma básica espanhola – Estatuto dos Trabalhadores (ET) – para, logo após, analisar as sucessivas reformas legais que o mesmo vem sofrendo. Também serão realizadas algumas observações sobre a flexibilidade e individualização do tempo no trabalho a tempo parcial com o objetivo de demonstrar que as sucessivas mudanças legais dão margem para que se amplie ainda mais os níveis de controle empresarial do tempo de trabalho.
