Resumo: O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender as representações sociais de pais sobre suas dificuldades e estratégias utilizadas nas aulas remotas oferecidas aos seus filhos. Participaram 147 pais/responsáveis de filhos em situação de ensino remoto. Para coleta dos dados, utilizou-se questionário sociodemográfico e Teste de Evocação Livre de Palavras. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise prototípica. Os resultados apontaram dificuldades com: internet, administração do tempo, concentração e conciliação do estudo/trabalho. As estratégias adotadas foram: organização da rotina e do local de trabalho e estudo, conversas e acompanhamento das atividades dos filhos. Considerou-se que estes pais precisam de mais informação e melhor suporte escolar.

Abstract: The research’s objective is to understand the social representations of parents about their difficulties and offered to their children. 147 parents/guardians of children in remote education participated. For data collection, a sociodemographic questionnaire and Free Word Evocation Test were used. The data were analyzed using prototypical analysis. The results showed difficulties with the internet, time management, concentration, and reconciliation of the study/work. The strategies adopted were: organization of the routine and the workplace and study, conversations, and monitoring of the children’s activities. It was considered that these parents need more information and better school support.

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer is generally diagnosed at advanced stages of the disease; therefore, poor prognoses are typical. The development of tumor markers is thus of utmost importance. Prostasin is a protease that in normal tissues is highly expressed only in the prostate gland and seminal fluid. A previous study showed that prostasin is highly overexpressed in ovarian cancer cell lines. This study sought to evaluate the expression of prostasin in ovarian cancer. METHODS: Fresh tumor samples of ovarian epithelial cancer (n: 12) were analyzed for expression of prostasin mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) by conventional and real time quantitative PCR (polymerase chain reaction). As a standard control, a normal prostate sample was analyzed. RESULTS: Using conventional PCR, prostasin was detected in all but one sample. Using quantitative PCR, prostasin was over-expressed in all but one of the samples as compared to the control (prostate). CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that prostasin is overexpressed in many epithelial ovarian cancers. Further studies of prostasin as a potential biomarker for this disease are warranted.
