Introduction: the difficulties to regulate emotions in evaluative settings, appear as high levels of anxiety towards tests and avoidance behaviors. Perfectionism traits and procrastinative behaviors, are associated with increasing emotional discomfort across the different steps of the learning/testing cycle. Objective: asses the intervention´s efficacy to improve emotion regulation in evaluative settings. Method: a case study was performed, with the participation of a female universitary law student, who showed high levels of anxiety during oral exams. A six session cognitive behavioral treatment was applied, to diminish test anxiety, non-adaptive aspects of perfectionism and procrastinative behaviors. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected, at the intervention´s beginning and finalization, and six months later. Results: comparative analysis of the pre - post scores, showed a decrease in anxiety and procrastination. Perfectionism scores did not change. The analysis of the qualitative data suggests an increase in sense of control, self confidence, satisfaction with the performance, and more fluid communication during oral exams. Discussion: clinical aspects, functional analysis, and associated symptoms are described, and the results implications are discussed.

Introduction: Training for the professional practice of Psychology, as in other professions, requires, as a first approximation, the experience of internships, when situations that demand professional intervention are experienced by the student. Objective: to understand factors that motivate or inhibit the expression (voice) or retention (silence) of ideas, information, opinions or concerns related to the work developed in the curricular internship. Method: interviews were conducted with 15 Psychology students whose curricular internships were carried out in multidisciplinary teams. We sought to understand the meanings that the narrated experiences had for the interviewees. Results: both forces acting in the direction of speech and in the direction of remaining silent were identified, related to five factors: individual dispositions; attitudes and perceptions; emotions and beliefs; supervisor behavior; and contextual factors. Conclusion: the importance of developing practices in Psychology training that prioritize work in collective and interprofessional environments is highlighted.

In this presentation we present a letter sent to the General in Rome by the Provincial of Paraguay, Francisco Vázquez Trujillo, which makes specific mention of a visit he made to the villages of the Paraná and Uruguay regions in 1629. There are not many testimonies of this type of visit and our primary intention was to show the type of festive reception that took place in these places, although due to the variety of information it contains, it could be a complement to the Carta Anua of his period of government, which is truncated just at the moment of describing the reductions.

In this article, we will analyze the letters of four Italian missionaries who worked in the first decades of the mission in Paraguay: Simone Mascetta, Giuseppe Cataldini, Adriano Formoso and Pietro Commentali. In following the stories of these first envoys on mission in the new Province, we will investigate how, little by little, this territory would integrate the missionary horizon of the Society. In a first moment, we will analyse the "Indians" as object of the missionary desire of the four Jesuits in their letters indipetae. Later, the reading of other type of letters, written by them once they arrived at their destination and accounts of their experiences, will allow us to see how the Province of Paraguay, from an object of desire, became a space of presence and missionary action, until their death. Finally, the analysis of the triennial catalogues of the province will allow understanding the placement of the four missionaries, according to labels and demands proper to the universe of the vocational company to which they belong.

The apparent failure of the expansionist project of the Jesuit priests of the first expedition of Portugal - to reach Asunción from São Paulo de Piratininga -, resulted in the institution of an important system of settlements which contributed to the creation of a solid network of socio-anthropological relationships crystallized in the current Metropolitan Region of São Paulo: the Grande São Paulo. The article reinforces the importance of reading the Jesuitical activity in Brazil as a consequence of regional and territorial planning, beyond any border, language barrier and individual settlement.

This paper analyzes the communicative, sociopolitical, and cultural practices of the young participants in the National Strike of April 28 in Colombia and in the subsequent demonstrations of 2021, added to the youth action of other social outbursts that have arisen in Latin America since 2019. We resort to documentary analysis and virtual ethnography. In these practices they denounce and propose possibilities for change in face of the capitalist system, colonial heritage, racism and patriarchy. The results show that these emerging practices are based on five main axes: (1) online and offline communication; (2) trust and intergenerational and multi-class alliance to fight for the same objectives; (3) collaboration to break space-temporal boundaries and extend the discourse of resistance between different social movements; (4) construction of the common in terms of minimum rights needs with anti-capitalist proposals reinforcing a collective identity, and (5) leading role of women. All this shapes a new coordinated, visible, and connected youth political subjectivity, enunciated through narratives and forms of organization alternative to the hegemonic model and the State apparatus, and where social networks are elements that contribute to the rest of the online and offline actions observed.

A twenty-year old research on embodied simulation has reported the correlation between the mirror neurons system and visual perception of face expressions, gestures, representative and non-representative painting, and the thinking and learning mental phase. The physiological approach has demonstrated the link between thinking and the sensorimotor system in both directions. As an athlete, artist and researcher I consider the experience of self-identification in drawing and I make the hypothesis that it can be used in sport as a powerful instrument for training, recovery and development of proprioception.  The study involved 14 girls from primary school engaged in learning gymnastic movements. Part of the group carried out a motor learning module based on drawing themselves performing the chosen movement. This paper shows the learning method and discusses the improvement of these young athletes - finally considering the context for useful applications and planning new paths to specify the method.

When we talk about loanwords, we almost inevitably think of English. This article does not come to contradict this idea but to qualify it by showing the contribution of a whole panel of languages (Italian, Spanish, Catalan but also modern Greek, Norwegian among others). The corpus consists of an issue of a decoration magazine: Maisons Côté Sud. Linguistic records are also taken into account. Advertising is also decrypted. We can conclude that the title of the magazine is too restrictive with respect to what it offers: it goes beyond the habitat since it also deals with cooking and textiles
