Um percurso pela psiquiatria infantil: dos antecedentes históricos à origem do conceito de autismo

This article is a conceptual study that aims to trace a historical course of the psychiatric knowledge about children, pointing how the conceptualization of autism will lead into this prospect. For such, we divided this work into three parts: the first is dedicated to the discussion of the concept of mental retardment, followed by the questioning of the first reflections on the psychoses of childhood and the birth of the Child Psychiatrist clinic and the conceptualization of autism by Psychiatry. Therefore, we seek to understand the meaning and origin of current practices, critically analyzing the psychiatric manuals and its impact on child psychopathology.

Autismo e família: revisão bibliográfica em bases de dados nacionais

Early studies involving childhood autism attributed to family involvement in impairment of psycho-emotional development of the child. The purpose of this study was to review the literature related to autism and family in two national databases (Theses Database of Capes and Scientific Electronic Library Online) without defining a specific period as well as identify the main thematic focused. Were located 29 studies in Theses Database of Capes, the first record in 1990 and 12 in Scientific Electronic Library Online, the first publication in 2001. The results were grouped into seven categories. The categories “Quality of Life” and “Family Relations” concentrate most of publications on Theses Database. Already in Scientific Electronic Library Online, mostly refers to the “Family Relations” and “literature review”. It was found that none of theses or dissertations was published in scientific paper format, hampering the dissemination of research in the area.

Autismo: aspectos cognitivos, educacionais e neurobiológicos com base na análise dos livros Mundo singular: entenda o autismo e o Os gatos nunca mentem sobre o amor e na literatura especializada

The autism is a severe mental illness that involves psychological, social, educational and neurobiological aspects. The Education plays an important role in recovering, preserving and increasing the cognitive task of people with autism. There are several ways to observe a person with autism. Through the studying of cases, it is also possible to address issues of everyday life of the person with the illness, its cognitive issues and its obstacles of psychosocial involvement, as well as psychological aspects such as illness acknowledgement. Through specialized literature, it is possible to identify characteristics referring to the learning process and neurobiological components involved in the condition, such as brain activity disorder and genetic factors. The objectives of this paper are: from the analysis of two books: Unique World: comprehend the Autism (SILVA, A. B. B; GAIATO, M.B; REVELES, L.T) and The cats never lie about love (DILLON, J.), it is intended to describe cognitive and psychosocial aspects of the autism. Based on the specialized literature, the goal is to identify cognitive and neurobiological components in the illness. The methods that were used: analysis of the books Unique World: comprehend the Autism and The cats never lie about love to describe psychosocial and educational aspects of the autism; analysis of the specialized literature to identify clinical and neurobiological components of the illness, such as changes in brain activity, genetic factors or clinical evolution; and also details of the Education role in preserving the person with autism and his cognitive and emotional development. The study had the documentary research as reference for the methodological design, including book analysis and research in specialized literature. It is intended to deepen discussions about the Education roles related to the cognitive and neurobiological aspects of the autism

Análise das perturbações de qualidade de energia em sistemas de distribuição e a adequação as tendências regulatórias do PRODIST

The public consultation n° 018/2014, for review the Module 8 of Procedures of Electricity Distribution (PRODIST), conducted by National Agency of Electric Energy (ANEEL), aims to improve the regulation of power quality, considering the phenomena harmonic distortion, voltage unbalance, voltage fluctuation and short term voltage variation. These regulatory changes impact in the way of analysis and treatment, of power quality disruption, by the electricity distribution. The developed work makes a study about the applications of these new regulatory requests and hopes to contribute with a better understanding. Through power quality measurements, in distribution substations, with different load profiles (industrial, urban and rural), was obtained a real view of the system, under the aspect of power quality, to evaluate the regulation adherence to the current version and proposed. In this case study, although being in accordance with the current methodology, happened a transgression of propose. With a comparative analysis, was possible to identify some phenomena that were more flexible in the proposed revision and others with more severe monitoring

Comportamentos de crianças do espectro do autismo com seus pares no contexto de educação musical

O Transtorno do espectro do autismo (TEA) é marcado por prejuízos nas áreas de interação social, comunicação, comportamento e processamento sensorial. Aspectos relacionados a prejuízos no repertório de interação social, bem como estratégias para torná-la mais adequada têm sido amplamente estudados. Dentre estas estratégias, as que utilizam música têm recebido atenção. O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar os benefícios da educação musical ao desenvolvimento da interação social de crianças com seus pares, focando-se na qualidade e na frequência da apresentação de tais comportamentos. Participaram duas crianças com TEA, com idades de cinco e seis anos, em aulas de percussão em grupo. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Ficha de dados sociodemográficos e de desenvolvimento, para traçar os perfis dos participantes; e o Protocolo de observação de comportamentos de crianças com TEA com seus pares, para a análise comportamental, durante oito aulas/percussão (240 minutos). Os resultados sugerem que ambos apresentaram tendência ao aumento de iniciativas e respostas espontâneas e à diminuição de comportamentos não funcionais. Verificou-se a ocorrência do uso de estereotipias para tentativas de/e interações, embora esporadicamente. Destacaram-se os papéis do contexto, dos perfis das crianças, e do manejo comportamental por adultos, na promoção de interações.

Metodologia prática para estimação de parâmetros de geradores síncronos a partir de medidas de perturbações

Este artigo propõe uma nova metodologia prática e robusta para estimar parâmetros de geradores síncronos. A metodologia proposta utiliza a análise de sensibilidade de trajetória combinada com uma nova abordagem, denominada 'abordagem de minimização' para estimação de parâmetros de sistemas dinâmicos não-lineares modelados por conjuntos de equações algébricos diferenciais. Uma escolha adequada de entradas e saídas permite a divisão da estimação de parâmetros do gerador na estimação independente dos parâmetros elétricos e mecânicos. A metodologia é robusta com relação às condições iniciais dos parâmetros, não requer execução de testes especiais e utiliza apenas medidas de perturbações de fácil obtenção (correntes e tensões trifásicas, tensão de campo e velocidade do rotor) coletadas do sistema de energia elétrica sem desconectar o gerador da rede.
