Disorders in gait are identified in Parkinson’s disease patients. As a result, the capacity of walking independently and the interaction with the environment can be impairment. So, the auditory cues have been utilized as a non-pharmacological treatment to improve the locomotor impairment of the PD patients. However, these effects were observed in the regular lands and it’s not known the effects of auditory cues in gait during avoidance obstacles that could be more threaten for these patients. Yet, few studies in the literature compare the Parkinson’s disease patients with the older adults during the locomotor tasks and obstacle avoidance in association with the effects of auditory cues. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of the auditory cues in the gait and during obstacle avoidance in PD patients and older adults. 30 subjects distributed in two groups (Group 1 - 15, Parkinson’s disease patients; Group 2 - 15, healthy older adults) are going to participate of this study. After the participation approval, the assessment of clinical condition will be done by a physician. So, to investigate the locomotor pattern, it will be done a kinematic analysis. The experimental task is to walk on 8 m pathway and 18 trials will be done (6 for the free gait and 12 for adaptive gait). For the adaptive gait, two different obstacle heights will be manipulated: high obstacle (HO) and low obstacle (LO). In order to verify possible differences between the groups and the experimental condition, multivariance tests will be used with a significance level of 0.05. MANOVA revealed effect of condition and task. Thus, with DA, we observed an increase in cadence and reduced single support and stride length. When the tasks were compared, it was observed that the LO task, subjects had lower velocity and stride length... 9Complete abstract click electronic access below)

This article discusses, in general matters, the economic and social motivations, the organization and development of the program Minha Casa Minha Vida, made in 2009, by Federal Government of Brazil. The objective of this work was to analyse the Brazilian economic and housing context, and the program relation with the Subprime international crisis, which has been started at United States in 2008, as well as analysing and discussing the logistics and the program accessibility. The MCMV program, part of the PAC – Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento – has the intention to combat the economic crisis that had been installed and also minimize the deficit housing of the country. From PAC's initial estimate, US$250 Bi, it has been spent US$129 Bi and it has already been approved more than US$125 Bi designated for the second stage of the program, whose the estimate of PAC2 is about one trillion and a half of brazilian reais. One million homes were built between 2009 and 2012, and the goal for 2014 is two million and a half of new residences. If comparing the current program with the oldest programs, progress were observed ,however, problems and inconsistences are clearly seen: in the real concernment, the truly beneficiary, and contradiction between a social and economic program to urban demands, among other situational factors. It’s also evident, the incentivation for a new residential and closed neighbourhoods, thereby adding to the fragmentation of the urban space, beyond of the exclusion socioespacial caused financing of residences in farest allotments. The capitalist production of the space it’s clearly thriving in analysis of thisfinancing package of the urban habitation, where the biggest glebas rise between central neighbourhood and the newest generated suburb, they evidence the negligence of the authorities in well managing the space, not executing the application of urban instruments of planning the social function, and...

This paper presents an approach to time perception in the daily elementary school teachers. The research was conducted with five teachers from the public system of the Rio Claro City, São Paulo State. The methodology chosen for the preparation of the research was based on two factors: literature review and content analysis. For the literature search were used books and scientific articles, as content analysis, based on information collected from responses of teachers, research subjects, the questionnaire prepared by the researcher, also counted with the testimony in the form of narrative of these teachers (P1). In the final considerations points that all respondents have the perception of scarcity of time to carry out numerous tasks related to the practice of teaching. Also highlighted is the fact that all respondents can not separate work and personal life, as many of the jobs are taken home by integrating everyday of individual teachers, that is, their time outside the classroom

Com base numa experiência pessoal com a dança e leituras sobre butoh, o trabalho traça um paralelo entre o corpo na dança butoh e o corpo na educação, pensando como o corpo do educando é cerceado a ponto de não conseguir criar possibilidades de liberdade e resultando por isso numa indisciplina como grito de socorro. O primeiro meio de comunicação é o corpo, é nossa mídia mínima e é o primeiro a ser domesticado na escola e na sociedade. O trabalho busca caminhos pelo labirinto procurando como esse corpo poderia encontrar manifestações expressivas no meio da pressão e prisão em que é inserido na sociedade e, consequentemente, na escola, mostrando como exemplo os caminhos que o butoh criou como forma de resistência. Com apoio de Christine Greiner e Maura Baiocchi, procura decifrar como os dançarinos de butoh se manifestam contra esse meio opressor que impôs ao Japão uma cultura ocidental indo contra, rotulando e desrespeitando as nuances da cultura japonesa. Exercitando um butoh com as palavras, Clarice Lispector serve de inspiração à pesquisa, dando pinceladas que mostram quão profundo pode ser um movimento artístico quando se tem o corpo intenso e inteiro na criação, como ela tem. No trabalho, a autora revela o sonho de uma educação onde o corpo vivesse toda a experiência intensamente, recebendo suas marcas como um presente e não como uma cicatriz que dói. Com a ajuda do butoh, sonha uma escola que deixaria marcas a servirem como pistas para a criança encontrar seu próprio corpo

Most cancer types are treated by antineoplastic chemotherapy, which can be performed conjointly with other treatments, such as radiotherapy and surgery. Due to its action, chemotherapy provides the possibility of cure, but it also leads to a number of adverse effects, such as myelosuppression, cutaneous and gastrointestinal toxicity, etc. Patients undergoing chemotherapy must receive constant information concerning how to prevent or minimize these effects in order to achieve better quality of life and, consequently, a more successful treatment. Hence, this study aimed at investigating the need and preference for different forms of information by oncologic patients submitted to chemotherapy. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study conducted at the chemotherapy division of the Botucatu School of Medicine University Hospital/SP on a sample of 50 patients older than 18 years. After previous knowledge of the study and formalization of Free Consent, the individuals answered a questionnaire containing 12 questions related to the importance attributed to the information received, from which professional and when to receive it. Data were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test and showed that 62% of the patients were females, and the remaining 38% were males of whom 46% were older than 60 years, 26% were from 50 to 60 years old, 24% from 30 to 50, and only 4% were younger than 30 years old. The patients had lymphatic (23.4%) and solid (76.6%) tumors. All the respondents reported that receiving information about the disease and its treatment was extremely important. As regards information related to side effects, 98% of patients answered that receiving it was extremely important, and only 2% answered that it was little important. Correlations were made between age, gender, and tumor type with the answers obtained for the best moment, how and from whom to receive such informatio...

This work examines the possible effects of successive repair procedures on the microstructure of welded steel SAE 4130 by TIG welding process. Discussions and results were made about the metallographic analysis , non-metallic inclusions and microhardness tests , which were conducted on samples taken from the cradle engine component after the end of its life , a model airplane T-27 Tucano , made by EMBRAER and belonging were performed FAB . The choice of such component is due to the fact that this is critical to flight safety since it provides support for the aircraft engine . Thus regions of the weld metal , base metal and heat affected , with samples of the original weld bead , free of weld bead and also with four rework procedures for TIG welding zone were analyzed . It was found that after the fourth rework there is an increase in the amount of martensite , which may weaken the material with respect to resistance to fatigue. It was also found that the regions of the heat affected zone and weld metal have higher microhardness values when compared to those found in the base metal due to favoring the formation of ferritic and tempered martensite microstructures . Moreover, a welding process promotes a region with less non-metallic inclusions than metal base , which also explains the difference in the results obtained

As relações interpessoais são imprevisíveis e intrigantes devido ao grande número de variáveis que as envolvem. Especificamente, a relação família-atleta apresenta diferentes fatores, que interagem, e provocam reações sobre o físico, o cultural e o psicológico dos envolvidos; reações estas que envolveram também o pesquisador e motivaram este estudo. Adotou-se, assim, a técnica de entrevista semi-estruturada, o qual permitiu a reunião dos fatores pessoais e contextuais que envolveram os participantes, através de suas relações familiares, esportivas e em suas possíveis inter-relações. Ao combinar estes fatores, buscamos verificar a influência dos pais sobre a motivação dos filhos para a prática esportiva. Essa análise nos permitiu confirmar nossas expectativas, uma vez que concluímos que os pais podem influenciar tanto de forma positiva, como de forma negativa na prática esportiva de seus filhos, dependendo da relação que já possuem com os mesmos fora do ambiente esportiva sendo, na opinião da maioria dos atletas, uma espécie de força fundamental para que possam praticar sua modalidade com mais segurança, prazer e liberdade.

In 2004 two trading environment for contracts of purchase and of electricity energy were established, the Regulated Contracting Environment (RGE) and the Free Contracting Environment (FCE). In the first one, consumers can only buy their energy directly from local electricity distribution, and in the second one, consumers can choose their delivery, amount and type of energy that they will burn through bilateral contracts. Thus, before deciding to migrate to the FCE, it is necessary understanding the rules of marketing, the risk involved and the economic viability of the two markets so can determine which environment has more benefits to the consumer. This paper aims to offer tools to support takeover decision of potentially free costumers, who have the option to migrate to market in order to evaluate the benefits and disadvantages of each market. This paper has also considered the new rules of the third rate cycle, where consumers can opt for green tax. The methodology presented is based on calculations of spending with energy and the risk of flag in captive market and free market in one year

Este trabalho foi proposto baseado na relevância do tema a origem da vida para uma nova abordagem de sala de aula de forma que os alunos poderiam estar mais perto da proposta de entender como funciona a ciência e de forma que o aprendizado pode ser diferenciado para a aprendizagem comum. As ciências biológicas passaram por muito tempo a mercê de teorias de que a origem da vida era algo natural do nosso planeta, ou seja, a origem de um novo ser sem ter vindo a partir de outro. No entanto com vários experimentos com destaque ao de Oparin, já com o conhecimento de microorganismo, se provou que a origem da vida não surgia tão facilmente como se esperava. A partir da quebra desse paradigma houve um crescente desenvolvimento de experimentos que comprovaram que vários compostos importantes para a vida se formaria naturalmente numa Terra primitiva. No entanto há muita controversa de como a vida de fato teria surgido, dividindo opiniões de forma que a apresentação de uma gama de possibilidades para origem da vida é a melhor forma de apresentar um tema com teorias não comprovadas ou contestadas. “O CADERNO DO ALUNO” E O “CADERNO DO PROFESSOR” ambos de biologia, fazem luz uma grande possibilidade de desenvolvimento de uma aula que foge a do cotidiano, com discussões e possibilidade de se conhecer a ciência. Entretanto, verificou-se que a falta de conhecimento prévio pode ser um empecilho para uma discussão apurada e que se deve tomar cuidado nessa discussão para não ferir a concepção de cada aluno. Muito do se pede no Currículo do Estado de São Paulo para o professor desenvolver também contempla uma grande possibilidade de desenvolvimento do tema com foco em saídas do campo, prática e envolvimento com toda a escola de forma que o tema poderia ser eficaz de maneira diferencial de um tema proposto para o terceiro ano do ensino médio. As aulas do tema descritas mostram a importância de um número maior de educadores ser...

Nowadays technological trend is based on finding materials that could support low weight with satisfactory mechanical properties and for this reason composite material became a very attractive topic in research projects all over the world. Due to its heterogenic properties, this type of material shows scatter in mechanical test results, especially in cyclic loading. Therefore it is important to predict its fatigue strength behaviour by statistic analysis, once fatigue causes approximately 90% of the failure in structural components. The present work aimed to investigate the fatigue behaviour of the Twill/Cycom 890 composite, which is carbon fiber reinforced with polymeric resin as matrix and manufactured via RTM process (Resin Transfer Molding). All samples were tested in different tensile level in triplicate in order to associate these values. The statistical analysis was conducted with Two-Parameter Weibull Distribution and then evaluated the fatigue life results for the composite. Weibull graphics were used to determine the scale and shape parameters. The S-N curve for the Twill/Cycom composite was drawn and indicated the number of cycles to occur the first damages in this material. The probability of failure was associated with material reliability, as shown in graphics for the different tensile levels and fatigue life. In addition, the laminate was evaluated by ultrasonic inspection showing a regular impregnation. The fractographic analysis conducted by SEM showed failure mechanisms for polymeric composites associated to cyclic loadings ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

O grau de desenvolvimento econômico e social de uma sociedade pode ser avaliado diretamente à facilidade de transporte de passageiros e cargas. A qualidade de vida nas cidades é fortemente influenciada pelas características do transporte público. O Brasil tem 80 % de sua população morando em cidades, de forma que uma maior utilização do transporte público seria a solução para problemas de congestionamento, poluição, acidentes, desumanização e outros males que atingem as cidades modernas. Bauru, interior de São Paulo, é uma cidade de porte médio que apresenta um dos maiores índices de utilização de automóveis particulares, em parte pela formação da cidade, que é “espalhada”, e outra por suas características econômicas. A população de baixa renda, moradores da periferia e dependentes do transporte público, enfrenta grandes dificuldades para acessar as diferentes áreas da cidade (má operacionalização do sistema?). Este trabalho de finalização da graduação tem como objetivo maior trazer opções e facilitar o acesso da população a todas as áreas da cidade, através de um sistema de terminais e mini-terminais urbanos de transporte coletivo, buscando a melhor utilização do espaço público, uma maior mobilidade na cidade e a melhoria da qualidade de vida da população

The Alzheimer's dementia (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia in the elderly. Among the harmful changes arising from the DA, there may be sleep disturbance and impaired quality of life. Physical activity is an important non-pharmacological feature that would provide positive effects for the treatment of disease. However, there are still few studies that clarify the effects of resistance training in this population. Thus, the present study has as objective analyzes the effects of the resistance training in sleep disturbance and quality of life of patients with AD. Participated in this study 22 patients with clinical diagnosis of AD divided into two groups: Training Group (TG) and Social Interaction Group (SIG). The subjects of TG underwent a resistance training protocol, appropriate to the individual conditions, during three days no consecutive in the week, with duration of 60 minutes each session, for 16 weeks. The SIG won't participate in any systematized physical activity, but they realized other activities, such as reading, poetry, hiking and painting, among others. This protocol also was realized three times in week for 16 weeks, with duration of 60 minutes each session. Both groups were assessed at the beginning of the program and after 16 weeks. For the assessment of sleep disturbance was used the Mini Sleep Questionnaire and to assess of quality of life was used the Scale for Assessment of Quality of Life in Alzheimer's disease (QL), versions: patient, caregiver, family and the final score. Due to the scalar nature of the data and small sample, all variables were analyzed by nonparametric statistics. The U-Mann Whitney test, Wilcoxon test and Spearman correlation test was used, except for the Modified Baecke... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

A fadiga muscular é definida como uma falha no sistema neuromuscular na capacidade de gerar uma força requerida ou esperada. Quanto maior a idade do indivíduo, maior é a probabilidade de chegar à fadiga, aumentando o risco de quedas. Dessa forma, a fadiga pode influenciar no andar dos indivíduos, causando prejuízos no controle postural e podendo causar lesões músculo-esqueléticas A partir dos estudos realizados, percebe-se que a fadiga muscular pode prejudicar o desempenho do andar, sendo ele adaptativo ou não. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar e comparar a influência da fadiga muscular sobre os parâmetros cinemáticos do andar livre e adaptativo entre adultos jovens e idosos. Participaram do estudo 20 indivíduos, distribuídos em dois grupos etários: Adulto Jovem - 20 a 40 anos; e Idoso - a partir de 60 anos. Os participantes realizaram o andar livre e adaptativo percorrendo uma distância retilínea de 8 metros sobre um carpete de borracha com 1,4m de largura. Foram realizadas 6 tentativas para cada condição experimental. Para a coleta dos dados cinemáticos dos ciclos do andar definidos foi utilizado um sistema tridimensional (3D) optoeletrônico de análise do movimento (OPTOTRAK Certus – 3D Motion Measurement System, NDI), com precisão de 0,1 mm, posicionado no plano frontal, face anterior, ao movimento do participante, com frequência de 100 Hz. A indução a fadiga será através da tarefa de sentar e levantar. Para a comparação entre os dois grupos foram analisados as seguintes variáveis espaciais e temporais do andar livre e adaptativo: comprimento de cada passo, largura de cada passo, velocidade média do andar, distância horizontal pé-obstáculo antes da ultrapassagem, distância horizontal depois do obstáculo e distância vertical péobstáculo. Estas variáveis foram analisadas durante o ciclo do andar antes e após fadiga muscular.
