O método de gêmeos envolve a análise diferencial de gêmeos monozigóticos (MZs) e dizigóticos (DZs) a fim de determinar a proporção de variância em um determinado traço atribuível a fatores genéticos e ambientais. Sendo geneticamente idênticos, os gêmeos MZs tendem a apresentar alto índice de concordância em vários atributos comportamentais, enquanto que, os DZs, compartilham 50 % da carga genética, manifestando um reduzido grau de concordância. Todavia, pesquisadores têm investigado possíveis mecanismos genéticos subjacentes do desenvolvimento cerebral para dominância manual e, não têm encontrado utilidade no método de gêmeos, pois, desde 1924, em todos os estudos de dominância manual em gêmeos, a taxa de discordância para o canhotismo e destrimanismo têm sido similares em MZs e DZs. Além disso, frequentemente gêmeos mostram taxa mais alta de prevalência para o canhotismo que os não gêmeos. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as possíveis diferenças entre gêmeos destros e canhotos (MZs e DZs combinados) e não gêmeos em variáveis fenótipicas específicas relacionadas à dominância manual, incluindo dominância podálica (chute de penalty), consistência de dominância manual, canhotismo familiar (CF+), postura manual e medidas de habilidades motoras em três testes : Batidas digitais, Tabuleiro de Annett e Pontilhar Pontinhos. Foram avaliados 286 gêmeos ( 255 destros, 34 canhotos) e, 251 não gêmeos (141 destros e 110 canhotos). A análise dos dados revelou o aumento de canhotismo no sexo masculino em três vezes mais do que no feminino. Além disto, destros e canhotos gêmeos foram mais mistos em suas dominâncias manuais e apontaram alta incidência de CF+ entre parentes de primeiro grau que não gêmeos canhotos e destros. Em concordância com estudos anteriores, a frequência de chute contralateral foi mais alta nos mistos do que nos que apresentaram consistência na dominância manual, especialmente entre os canhotos. No que diz respeito à habilidade manual, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas nos três testes de habilidade manual. Conforme as expectativas, destros e canhotos foram mais proficientes na manipulação do estímulo com suas mãos dominantes. Em todas as três medidas, em contraste com os destros, os canhotos (gêmeos e não gêmeos) apresentaram redução entre as assimetrias manuais. Por extensão, o aumento da prevalência de canhotismo entre gêmeos não poderia ser atribuída a influências patológicas, inversão de assimetria ou ordem de nascimento. É possível, levar em consideração, observando a diferença robusta em dominância manual mista que, o padrão de lateralização neuromotora, pode ser mais difusamente organizado nos hemisférios dos gêmeos que em não gêmeos, mas, esta sugestão requer evidência direta, pelo menos a partir de testes de neuro-imagem.

In a view to determining the outlines of the Freedom of Speech and to specify its contents, we face hate speech as an offensive and repulsive manifestation, particularly directed to minority groups in contemporary society. Thus, the study sought to promote, in the foreground, a study of the Freedom of Speech, in the liberal molds. Considered this way, Freedom of Speech will tend to accept hate speech as a legitimate manifestation, albeit at the injury of the victims. On the other hand, when we are dealing with the exhaustion of the liberal paradigm and the affirmation of the Welfare State, we note the recognition by the social state of the asymmetries and commitment to redistributive justice. The Freedom of Speech, warded by welfare state will tend to suffer major restrictions on its self-determination power, rejecting hate speech.

During the aging process, increase the postural asymmetries that can affect the control mechanism of balance leading to falls. To evaluate the static posture of elderly; measure the balance and correlate the results of the posture with balance. The study involved 28 elderly patients, 13 males and 15 females (71.8 ± 5.7 years). The volunteers were photographed, the images transferred to a computer for evaluation of static posture and calculating the projection of the center of gravity in the frontal and sagittal planes using the Postural Assessment Software. The balance was assessed by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Correlations were performed by Spearman test (p ≤ 0.05). Data were presented as mean ± standart deviation (SD). BBS scores = 50.5 ± 3.3; the sagittal plane (anterior asymmetry) = 45.5 ± 11.1%; frontal plane (right or left asymmetry) = 9.8 ± 7.9. We found a correlation between BBS and asymmetry of the sagittal plane (r = -0.46, p = 0.01) and between BBS and asymmetry of the frontal plane (r = -0.41, p = 0.03). The data suggest that the higher the previous projection (asymmetry of the sagittal plane) and lateral projection (asymmetry of the frontal plane), scores of the BBs will be lower, indicating an increase of unbalance in elderly.

Individuals with spastic cerebral palsy show muscle weakness, difficulties in the control of agonist and antagonist muscles, decreased range of motion and tonus and sensibility alterations, especially in knee joint. These problems can interfere on the performance of functional activities such gait. The aim of this study was to analyze the contribution of knee range of motion on gait of hemiplegic and diplegic children considering their asymmetries. Twelve children, 6 hemiplegics e 6 diplegics from 7 to 12 years of age (age average= 9,5 ± 1,93) took part. Spasticity was assessed by the Ashworth’s Modified Scale and the passive knee range of motion by an eletrogoniometer. The task was to walk on a walkway of 8m long, in their preferred speed, in 6 attempts, been 3 on right and 3 on left sagital planes. Eigth passive markers were bilaterally fixed for the kinematic record. Orthogonally to the walkway, two digital camcorders were assembled on the sagital plane. The fotogrametric procedures were performed by the Dvideow 6.3 software. The Matlab 7.0.1 software was used to filter and to calculate the dependent variables. The U test of Mann- Whitney found differences to the cerebral palsy type for knee extension/hiperextension (U = - 2.943; p= 0.003), knee relative angle at heel contact (U = - 5.992; p= 0.001) and knee range during stride (U = - 4.099; p= 0.001). The Wilcoxon’s test revealed differences according to the asymmetries for the hemiplegics only for the knee relative angle at heel contact (T= - 2.635; p<0.008). The contributions of passive knee range of motion, revealed by the Spearman correlations, for the more afected limb of the diplegics, showed that the knee extension/hiperextension interfere on the cadence, stride duration and step width; the knee relative angle at heel contact change the stride length and duration and cadence; and the...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Initially, the text handles the theories of ancient classical and changes with the emerging of the debates of the schools of economic of Keynes and Kalecki. Over the years, from 1930 onwards, investment theories were debated and modified by various schools of economic thought. One of the debates that stands out in this work are the theories of Minsky that will bring new reformulations to Keynesian theory and a greater focus on psychological factors as determinants of investment decisions. Through financial instability hypothesis Minsky explains how the decisions to invest and the access to credit cause instability to financial system. Finally the work will show how access to credit is material when companies decide to invest and how these investments are often handled due to information asymmetries in the market. The financial institutions seek to maximize their profits while dribbling moral hazard and adverse selection, and thus the government needs to intervene once in a while as a regulator to maintain the solvency of the system

INTRODUCTION: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity and it can be influenced by the use of shoe lifts and lateral inclination in order to correct postural asymmetries. OBJECTIVE: To verify the effect of the use of the shoe lifts (lower and high) unilateral (right and left) during the movement of lateral inclination (right and left) for an evaluation of the postural angles in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. METHODS: A control group with ten participants without scoliosis and an experimental group with 10 participants with idiopathic scoliosis of double curves (thoracic right and lumbar to the left). Ten reflexive markers were fixed in the spine to determine the postural angles (alpha 1=T2T4-T4T6, alpha 2=T6T8-T8T10, alpha 3=T10T12-T12L2 and alpha 4=L2L4-L4S1)...
