Tarefas de triangulação com restrições perceptuais em pessoas com deficiência auditiva: um estudo por meio de gps

This study aimed to investigate how people with hearing disability perform tasks of distances estimation for locomotion and navigation when deprived of effective perceptual and proprioceptive information. For this, participants with hearing disability went three distances being the first and second 100 meters and the third 140 meters (triangulation) from a source point in an inverted L open field trajectory and then returned to the origin, and the first two were driven by a researcher guide with adapted GPS coordinates of the study, and the third being three free-form sessions, the first one without any perceptual and proprioceptive restriction, the second without visual perception, and the third on the wheel-chair, that is, without proprioception. The results showed that people with hearing disability without the knowledge of the path do not possess satisfactory accuracy but when they learn the way even with the restriction of visual perception and proprioception they can return to the starting point in a task of triangulation. The "t" students test with a significance level of 5% (2.131) indicates significant differences between the first task without any perceptual restriction and the third where they performed in the wheelchair. To achieve these results we used remote monitoring via GPS and the TrackMaker software.

Melhora da aptidão neuromuscular em indivíduos não treinados em força realizando método das séries simples e múltiplas

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of individuals not trained in methods under performing resistance exercise in the method of multiple series and the following exercises: Leg press (LP) 45, leg extension (CE), leg curl (CF), front handle (PF), rowing neutral (RN), bench press (SR) and Peck deck (PD) in 9 weeks with three training sessions / week. The study was with of 6 individuals aged 40 to 55 years were divided into two groups all were tested using the 1 RM for securing cargo to the drills being performed each test 48 h. Results: According to what was observed using this training protocol with different volume in each group for 9 weeks of training in these subjects did not differ in both groups but showed increases above two devices with other evaluated Peck deck and this is due Leg Press major muscle group.

O papel do teletandem na formação de professores de espanhol

Este estudio tiene como objetivo observar las contribuciones del teletándem en la formación profesional de profesores de español/LE. Para este fin, hemos utilizado grabaciones de sesiones en chat y tareas derivadas de las interacciones en este ambiente, entre alumnos brasileños y uruguayos. El enfoque metodológico utilizado para la recopilación y el análisis de los datos está vinculado a la hipótesis de la investigación cualitativa, de carácter interpretativo. Los datos analizados demuestran que la participación en el proyecto ha contribuido al desarrollo profesional del futuro profesor de español/LE, ya que las actividades complementan la calidad de la formación académica.

O professor e a prática telecolaborativa no teletandem

The new technologies have increasingly provided access to foreign languages and cultures and also to authentic communication. If we consider that the foreign languages teaching/learning process and teachers’ education can be enriched by telecollaboration, I believe it is necessary to observe the roles played by language teachers. Based on an ethnographic qualitative study carried out with Brazilian and foreign university students, this paper focuses on teletandem practice, a distance tandem modality carried out by audio and video conferences with resources such as Windows Live Messenger, Skype or ooVoo, to investigate roles played by language teachers in telecollaborative practice. The data were collected from (a) e-mails exchanged between the partners and between partners and the mediator-teacher; (b) DVDs of interaction sessions recordings; (c) written teletandem sessions recordings; (d) recordings of interviews between the partners and the researcher at ooVoo; (e) fi eld notes taken at Teletandem Laboratory at UNESP- Assis; and (f) participants’ written reports. The data analysis, from the hermeneutic interpretative perspective, revealed that the teacher is not ignored but is given new roles to maximize the process towards meaningful and intercultural learning.

O ensino de português para hispanofalantes no contexto virtual do Teletandem

Propusemos, neste trabalho, um estudo a respeito do ensino de português para falantes de espanhol no contexto virtual do Teletandem, um projeto que tem como objetivo promover a interação entre estudantes brasileiros, alunos da FCL / Assis - UNESP, no caso, e estudantes de universidades estrangeiras a fim de compartilharem os conhecimentos das línguas que dominam. Para tanto, enfocaremos os aspectos de ordem linguística e discursiva que emergem em sessões de interação em Teletandem entre alunos da universidade brasileira ensinando o português a alunos falantes de espanhol de uma universidade mexicana, tomando como referencial teórico a Análise do Discurso Crítica. Os dados foram coletados durante o ano de 2012. A análise mostrou que alunos com um nível mais avançado de proficiência têm um maior aproveitamento das interações, porque conseguem aprofundar mais os temas e que variáveis como: nível de proficiência, motivação, formação escolar anterior, conhecimento de mundo, domínio de ferramentas tecnológicas e controle da ansiedade diante do novo também influenciam. Devido à proximidade das línguas, esse contexto virtual de aprendizagem requer a presença de um mediador que sinaliza aos aprendizes questões que devem ser consideradas.

Efeitos de diferentes sistemas de clareamento dental sobre a rugosidade e morfologia superficial do esmalte e de uma resina composta restauradora

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the roughness and superficial morphology of enamel and a composite restorative resin after different bleaching techniques application. Material and Methods: Bovine incisors were selected and standardized cavities were prepared on the buccal surface, which were restored with composite resin. The teeth were distributed according to the following treatments: G1- bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP); G2 - bleaching with 38% hydrogen peroxide (HP); and G3 - bleaching with 38% of HP associated to light irradiation. For G1, the bleaching gel was applied for 8 hours daily during 21 days. For G2 and G3, 3 sessions were performed, consisting of 3 applications of 15 minutes each, with 7 days of intervals between the sessions. For G3, the LED (470nm) light was used to activate the bleaching agent for 6 minutes. The surface of enamel and composite resin were evaluated before and after the bleaching procedures using a roughness tester and an atomic force microscope. Results: The results showed significant differences in surface roughness of enamel after bleaching only for G1 (Wilcoxon, p<0.05). For composite resin, neither group showed a statistical difference compared to control (Mann-Whitney, p>0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the increase in the roughness of enamel occurred only after bleaching therapy using a gel with 10% of CP. The bleaching procedures evaluated in this investigation did not increase the roughness or cause changes in the superficial morphology of the composite resin.

Acompanhamento psicológico de criança com problema de sono: um relato de caso

Difficulties with sleep are frequent in the pre-schooler children. The aim of this study was to present a case report of behavioural intervention by parental guidance to sleeping problems in a pre-schooler child. Participated in this study a four years old boy that had difficulties to sleep without the presence of his parents and his mother who was oriented through a parental program. The program of intervention was composed by five sessions in which the mother acquired education about the child’s sleep, received orientation about the establishment of time and routine to sleep and about the use of techniques (extinction and positive reinforcement) for the improvement of the sleep difficulties. The sleep and behaviour were evaluated in four periods (pre-treatment, post-treatment, one and six months follow up) according to the following instruments: 1) UNESP Scale of Habits and Hygiene of the Sleep – Children Version, 2) Scale of Sleep Disorders for Children and Teenagers, 3) Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 1,5-5) and 4) sleep diary. The results showed that after intervention the child developed independent sleep, reduced the bed resistance and showed improvement in daily behaviors. To conclude: a behavioral intervention by parental guidance was effective to sleep problems of the child.
