Objective: To know the perceptions and feelings about the physical changes of climacteric women in a city of Rio Grande do Sul.
Methods: Qualitative exploratory descriptive study developed with 16 women on public spaces of Porto Alegre/RS/Brazil, in September and October of 2018; data gathered through semi-structured interviews and submitted to thematic analysis.
Results: Four themes were found: "Knowledge (or not) on climacteric and menopause (and their differences)", "Changes perceived", "Changes felt", and "How to deal with climacteric and menopause".
Conclusions: Women have little information on climacteric; it is the nurses' responsibility to clarify about these phases, offer emotional support and indicate physical activities that may ease their signs and symptoms.

Institute of Psychology, Czech Academy of Sciences, Brno, Czech Republic.
Reputational peer nominations are a common method for measuring involvement in aggression-related behaviors, encompassing the roles of aggressor, victim, and defender, but may be influenced by students' affective (dis)liking relationships. This social network study investigated whether dyad- and group-level (dis)liking relationships affect perceptions of classmates' involvement in physical aggression and explored the moderating roles of classroom moral disengagement and defending norms. The study employed a longitudinal design with two time points 6 months apart, encompassing 27 classrooms and 632 early adolescents.
