ABSTRACTObjectives: to know the similarities and differences in consumption patterns, experiences, information and belief, the influence of protective factors and risk of legal drug in Brazilian and Spanish children. Method: a multicenter survey sampling intentional comparing public and private schools in central and peripheral areas. Participants 1012 children, 720 Spanish and 292 in Brazil, aged 11 years. The six questionnaires were administered to students after the study was approved by the Ethics in Research of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Unicamp (number protocol 633/2008). Results: the level of participants' age, protective factors and risk do not work, but did not specify the subject as the various factors exert their effect on their behavior related to alcohol and tobacco. Once the protective factors and risk work in relationships, to modulate and interfere with each other, so it is difficult to figure out how to relate to each other. Conclusion: It is supported by the fact that we found a very small number of significant differences when analyzing gender differences in the binding of protective factors with no consumption and risk factors of tobacco use. Descriptors: risk factors; smoking; alcoholism; child; alcohol drinking; tabacco; education.RESUMOObjetivo: conhecer as similaridades e diferenças de padrões de consumo, experiências, informação e a opinião, a influência dos fatores de proteção e de risco de droga legal em crianças brasileiras e espanhóis. Método: inquérito multicêntrico com técnica de amostragem do tipo intencional comparando-se escolas públicas e particulares de áreas periféricas e centrais. Participaram 1012 crianças, sendo 720 espanholas e 292 brasileiras, com idade de 11 anos. Os seis questionários foram aplicados aos alunos após a aprovação do estudo pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Unicamp, com parecer nº 633/2008. Resultados: no nível de idade dos participantes, os fatores de proteção e de risco não funcionam, não discriminando os sujeitos à medida que os diversos fatores exercem seu efeito sobre seu comportamento, relacionados às bebidas alcoólicas e ao tabaco. Outrora, os fatores de proteção e de risco atuam em inter-relação, modulam-se e interferem entre si, de modo que é difícil descobrir como se relacionam entre si. Conclusão: é apoiada pelo fato de encontrarmos um número muito pequeno de diferenças significativas, quando se analisam as diferenças de gênero na vinculação dos fatores de proteção com o não consumo e dos fatores de risco com o consumo. Descritores: fatores de risco; tabagismo; alcoolismo; criança; consumo de bebidas alcóolicas; tabaco; educação.RESUMENObjetivos: conocer las similitudes y diferencias en los patrones de consumo, experiencias, información y creencia, la influencia de los factores protectores y de riesgo de las drogas legales en los niños brasileños y españoles. Método: un estudio multicéntrico de un muestreo intencional escuelas públicas y privadas que comparan en las zonas centrales y periféricas. Participantes 1012 niños, 720 españoles y 292 en Brasil, de 11 años. Los seis se administraron cuestionarios a los estudiantes después de que el estudio fue aprobado por la Ética en la Investigación de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, la Unicamp (nº 633/2008). Resultados: el nivel de edad de los participantes, los factores protectores y de riesgo no funcionan, pero no especificó el tema como los diversos factores que ejercen su efecto en su comportamiento relacionados con el alcohol y el tabaco. Una vez que los factores protectores y de riesgo en las relaciones de trabajo, para modular e interferir unos con otros, así que es difícil imaginar cómo se relacionan entre sí. Conclusión: Se apoya en el hecho de que encontramos un número muy pequeño de diferencias significativas cuando se analizan las diferencias de género en la unión de los factores de protección que no consumo y factores de riesgo de consumo de tabaco. Descriptores: factores de riesgo; tabaquismo; el alcoholismo; niño; consumo de bebidas alcohólicas; tabaco; educación.

At the same time, Alvaro Alberto, another open mind leader pioneer created CNPq, The Brazilian National Research Council. CAPES is linked to the Ministry of Education, and CNPq to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. Since its creation, CAPES has been responsible for the evaluation and financial support of graduate courses at master and doctorate levels, covering the entire Brazilian graduate system including both public and private institutions. The evaluation procedures consist of critical analysis of annual reports of each course and their re-evaluation every third year. The systematic process includes the recognition and approval of new courses proposed by the universities and research centers. </span></p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; tab-stops: 103.5pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; tab-stops: 103.5pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">A national plan, designed to establish and support training and development of human resources for strengthening science and technology activities in Brazil, was initiated six decades ago. This plan, named PNPG, can be viewed today as a successful program in terms of the significance of its general output. During this period, this program has been consolidated and is functioning only in the departments or other subdivisions of public or private universities and research centers that are officially accredited to offer degrees at one (Master's) or both (Master's and Ph.D.) levels. Since its beginning, in 1951, a substantial investment has been applied to develop this plan. This investment has been worthwhile since S&amp;T activities were institutionalized; many scientific and technological achievements have been made. To reach such advances the existence of an effective system based on a group of multi-funding agencies was an essential additional factor for the attained advances. Highlights of these advances have been stressed out before by a report in the Science journal as "Research in Latin America" (Guimarães, 1995)<span style="color: green;">. </span>In this work we present and discuss the current data and status of the Brazilian venture for developing human resources and for the formation of an active community dedicated to Science and Technology (S &amp; T), also giving a general vision of its importance for the present and future development of the country.</span></p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"></span>

Substance use increases during emerging adulthood and may relate to higher concurrent and future problems. For a community sample of 140 emerging adults, this study explores the associations between reported alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco use in 12th grade, the content of public posts and private messaging on Facebook during the fall after 12th grade, and self-reported substance use 1 year after high school. About one quarter of participants discussed substances publicly, and nearly half discussed substances privately on Facebook as observationally coded by researchers. Twelfth-grade substance use predicted the probability of engaging in public and private substance-related discussions. Tobacco and marijuana use predicted the frequency of private messaging about substances. Public and private online substance discussions predicted positive changes in marijuana use 1 year later. Results from this study suggest that social media discussions about substances, particularly private messages, may signal and shape emerging adults’ substance use behaviors.
