Influence of body composition on gait Kknetics throughout pregnancy and postpartum period

Pregnancy leads to several changes in body composition and morphology of women. It is not clear whether the biomechanical changes occurring in this period are due exclusively to body composition and size or to other physiological factors. The purpose was to quantify the morphology and body composition of women throughout pregnancy and in the postpartum period and identify the contribution of these parameters on the lower limb joints kinetic during gait. Eleven women were assessed longitudinally, regarding anthropometric, body composition, and kinetic parameters of gait. Body composition and body dimensions showed a significant increase during pregnancy and a decrease in the postpartum period. In the postpartum period, body composition was similar to the 1st trimester, except for triceps skinfold, total calf area, and body mass index, with higher results than at the beginning of pregnancy. Regression models were developed to predict women’s internal loading through anthropometric variables. Four models include variables associated with the amount of fat; four models include variables related to overall body weight; three models include fat-free mass; one model includes the shape of the trunk as a predictor variable. Changes in maternal body composition and morphology largely determine kinetic dynamics of the joints in pregnant women.

Crianças em situação de risco social - a percecão dos docentes

Esta investigação teve como principais objetivos: conhecer a frequência de alunos em situação de risco social, a frequentar o ensino Básico de um concelho situado no Alto Alentejo e identificar o tipo de risco que poderão estar viver, a partir das perceções dos seus docentes. A investigação pretendia ainda estabelecer a relação entre o risco percebido e variáveis como o género, ciclo de escolaridade; insucesso escolar; apoios sociais. Para o efeito adaptou-se o questionário para deteção de crianças em situação de risco social constituído por 4 subescalas: maltrato ativo, negligência, problemas emocionais, e condutas antissociais, e aplicou-se a todos os professores titulares do 1.º ciclo e a todos os diretores de turma dos 2.º e 3.º ciclos do ensino básico. Cada um dos 15 docentes respondia a tantos questionários quantos os seus alunos. A amostra alvo correspondia a toda a população escolar dos três ciclos do ensino básico desse concelho, ou seja, os questionários reportavam-se a 232 alunos, com idades entre os 6 e os 18 anos. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que as situações de risco social mais frequentes eram a pobreza e as carências socioeconómicas dos alunos e suas famílias. Verificou-se também que as crianças percecionadas como estando em situação de maior risco social tinham mais insucesso escolar e eram beneficiários de ação social escolar. Os alunos do 3.º ciclo foram percebidos como estando em maior situação de risco social comparativamente aos outros.

L'utilisation de l'argile dans l'architecture domestique et publique en Grèce antique : une étude d'un inventaire de sites archéologiques

Ce mémoire est une exploration du thème de l'utilisation de l'argile en architecture domestique et publique en Grèce Antique. À travers un inventaire de sites archéologiques, nous examinerons les différents vestiges présents qui démontrent l'utilisation de l'argile dans l'architecture, par exemple dans la production de briques d'argiles crues et dans les élévations en terre compactée. Ces vestiges sont très peu représentés archéologiquement et nous explorerons les raisons et questionnements amenés par cette faible présence.

Commencement. Ferry Field

Regents purchased south ten acres for $3000 in 1890. In 1902 UM received seven acres of land to the north from Dexter M. Ferry; became Ferry Field. In 1904 brick wall constructed on three sides and in 1906 gate and ticket office at northeast corner added (gift of Mr. Ferry). Wooden stands to accommodate 400 put up in 1893; burned in 1895. Rebuilt to seat 800 with later additions to facililties. By 1914, 13,600 accommodated. New stadium built in 1927. Stamp on verso: Ivory Photo
