O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar os métodos psicopedagogicos para trabalhar com crianças que apresentam Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade, seja ele no ambiente escolar ou na clinica contribuindo para o desenvolvimento cognitivo, afetivo, moral e físico dessas crianças. A metodologia utilizada é por meio de referencias bibliográficas acerca da literatura. Ao final se irá conclui que a intervenção do psicopedagogo é de extrema importância para que o tratamento traga resultados positivos, por meio de oficinas psicopedagogicas, da psicomotricidade, das brincadeiras, e jogos em gerais, ou até mesmo atividades lúdicas pode proporcionar uma alteração muito favorável na vida dessa criança.

O verdadeiro mundo da creche: educar ou prestar assistência?

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo mostrar por meio de um estudo teórico, alguns apontamentos a respeito da creche e de sua identidade, destacando características assistenciais, assistencialistas e educacionais presentes. A pesquisa buscou contextualizar o papel da creche no Brasil, e identificar se ela somente abriga crianças para que as famílias possam trabalhar ou se, alem do cuidar, ela tem o propósito de educar e desenvolver todas as suas habilidades do ser humano, contribuindo para a sua formação plena. Esse trabalho nos leva a uma grande reflexão sobre o dia a dia em creches, e ao final como é caracterizado sendo um ambiente onde somente se presta um assistencialismo ou também educa.

A construção do conhecimento em crianças do período sensório-motor: relato de uma experiência com educadoras de creche

Cet article présente un rapport d'expérience qui visait à la formation continuée des enseignants du « Centro de Vivência Infantil » de l'Universidade Estadual Paulista. À partir des notions de l’Épistémologie Génétique comme: l’action, le scheme de l’action, l’adaptation, l’accommodation et l’assimilation, nous cherchons un fondement épistémologique pour le travail d’enseignant avec les enfants entre 0 et 24 mois. Nous présentons, comme résultat pratique de l’application de la connaissance des définitions en Épistémologie Génétique, le travail de formation continuée avec les enseignantes du « Centro de Convivência Infantil » de l’UNESP et la prise de conscience résultant pour adopter la perspective épistémologique piagetienne dans leur travail quotidien avec les enfants du période sensori-moteur.

Formação continuada de educadoras infantis

Este artigo pretende realizar uma reflexão sobre o papel da extensão universitária na Universidade e relatar um projeto de extensão desenvolvido junto a educadoras infantis, com o objetivo de formação continuada. Para tanto, defendemos que a extensão universitária deve buscar o resgate da dimensão social e de universalidade buscando maneiras de educar e formar profissionais que intervenham na sociedade de forma autônoma e reflexiva, por meio de um currículo dinâmico e flexível. Nas considerações finais, a reflexão é sobre a importância da formação continuada de educadores para que se garanta a luta na busca pela melhoria da Educação brasileira e o exercício da função social da Universidade.

Descriptive study of onychomycosis in a hospital in São Paulo

Onychomychosis, a nail fungus infection is the most frequent nail ailment, constituting about half of all nail disorders. It can be caused by dermatophytes, non-dermatophytes, yeasts and Prothoteca spp. Methods include 5407 samples of patients with suspected onychomycosis, studied from January 2002 to December 2006, by direct mycological examination and fungi culture. The diagnosis of onychomycosis was confirmed in samples from 3822 direct mycological and/or culture positive. The diagnosis was established by culture for fungi. Among the 1.428 identified agents, the dermatophytes were responsible for 68.6% (N = 980) of cases, followed by yeasts with 27.6% (N = 394), non-dermatophytes fungi with 2.2% (N = 31), Prothoteca spp with 0.1% (N = 2), and associations with 1.5% (N = 22). Females were more affected, with 66% (N = 2527) of cases, and the most affected age group ranged from 31 to 60 years of age (median 47 years). Fungal microbiota is often changed in the world, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and is affected by several environmental factors. Thus, the periodic review of the composition of this microbiota is important to evaluate the epidemiology and thus proportion a better therapeutic response.

Efeitos da adição de agentes tróficos na dieta de leitões desmamados sobre a expressão da enzima ornitina descarboxilase, os conteúdos de proteína e DNA e o desempenho

Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of adding glutamine, fish oil or yeast cellular wall to the diet of weaned piglets on the expression of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the protein content and DNA in small intestine samples and on performance. In the first experiment, 24 weaned piglets were used to measure the performance at the phases prestarter, starter 1 and starter 2. Four diets were tested (T1 -basal diet (BD); T2 -BD + 1% of glutamine; T3 -BD + 0,2% of yeast cellular wall; T4 -BD + 5% of fish oil). At the second experiment 45 weaned piglets were used and distributed in a randomized block design, in factorial outline with four diets and three slaughter ages (on the day of weaning, on the seventh and fourteenth days postweaning). The tested diets did not alter the piglets' performance in none of the phases. There was reduction of the expression of the ODC enzyme, of the protein concentration and of the relationship protein/DNA to the seven days postweaning, with increase of the values on the 14th day, evidencing a state of hypotrophy of the mucous membrane, suggesting that the process of protein synthesis in the small intestine was diminished in the first week after weaning, but it presented recovery signs in the second week.

Marketing 3.0: a sinergia entre marketing e as relações públicas

This paper aims to discuss the influence of the Public Relations professional in the current market environment, where the client's relationship with the organization is visibly marked by greater freedom of the latter in the decision of buying. The importance of the work and vision of this professional can be observed trough the paths marketing area had been taking, like the appearance of Marketing 3.0. In this paper the intention is to study the paths who lead to the convergence of both areas and in what way both professionals can allied their knowledge aiming to succeed in the market, without ignoring the fact that the results will be better and better the more genuine is the philosophy of respect for the client practiced by the organization and its employees

Differentiation and species status of the Neotropical yellow-eared bats Vampyressa pusilla and V. thyone (Phyllostomidae) with a molecular phylogeny and review of the genus

A systematic re-evaluation of Vampyressa pusilla warrants the elevation of V. p. thyone from subspecies to species rank based on its distinction from the allopatric V. p. pusilla. Morphological, mensural, chromosomal, and mitochondrial differences define each of these two taxa as divergent lineages. Vampyressa pusilla is endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern South America and V. thyone is found allopatrically in northwestern South America, Central America, and southern Mexico. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the mtDNA ND3-4 gene region using restriction endonuclease cut sites resulted in a monophyletic, although weakly supported Vampyressa ingroup with Chiroderma, and a clade of Mesophylla and Ectophylla as successive basal outgroup lineages. The phylogeny within Vampyressa, with the exception of V. melissa which is most similar to V. thyone based on karyotypes and morphology, had a topology of ((pusilla + thyone) + ((brocki + nymphaea) + bidens))).

Evaluation of hollow fiberoptic tips for the conduction of Er : YAG laser

Objective: The use of Er:YAG laser operating in the 3 μm range with adjustable power and pulses has become popular for dental and medical practice due to its high photoablative capacity, surgical precision and antimicrobial action. Background data: The existing fiberoptic tips irradiate lasers parallel to the long axes of the tooth limiting its efficiency in the root canal. Methods: We evaluated hollow fiberoptic tips obtained from silicate glass as a means of Er:YAG laser conduction in dental procedures. The fiber tips were molded from capillary tubes with different profiles so that their ends would have cylindric, conical or spherical shapes. The performance of the three fibers as a means of propagation of Er:YAG (λ = 2.94 μm) laser radiation was compared to that of a solid sapphire fiber at 10 Hz and 200 mJ and of 20 Hz and 500 mJ. The profiles of frontal and lateral burning were visualized on thermal paper. Results: Analysis of these profiles demonstrated that the sapphire tip and the hollow fiber of cylindric section did not differ significantly in the profiles of frontal burning, and no lateral burning was detected. The fibers of the conical and spherical sections, although presenting attenuation in the frontal output power, showed a larger burning area in the frontal profile, in addition to producing lateral burning. Conclusions: The results indicate that commercial hollow fiberoptics have advantages such as easy manufacture of the different tip shapes, great adaptability, low cost, and a low loss of transmission. © Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.

Landscape Genetics of Raccoons (Procyon lotor) Associated with Ridges and Valleys of Pennsylvania: Implications for Oral Rabies Vaccination Programs

Raccoons are the reservoir for the raccoon rabies virus variant in the United States. To combat this threat, oral rabies vaccination (ORV) programs are conducted in many eastern states. To aid in these efforts, the genetic structure of raccoons (Procyon lotor) was assessed in southwestern Pennsylvania to determine if select geographic features (i.e., ridges and valleys) serve as corridors or hindrances to raccoon gene flow (e.g., movement) and, therefore, rabies virus trafficking in this physiographic region. Raccoon DNA samples (n = 185) were collected from one ridge site and two adjacent valleys in southwestern Pennsylvania (Westmoreland, Cambria, Fayette, and Somerset counties). Raccoon genetic structure within and among these study sites was characterized at nine microsatellite loci. Results indicated that there was little population subdivision among any sites sampled. Furthermore, analyses using a model-based clustering approach indicated one essentially panmictic population was present among all the raccoons sampled over a reasonably broad geographic area (e.g., sites up to 36 km apart). However, a signature of isolation by distance was detected, suggesting that widths of ORV zones are critical for success. Combined, these data indicate that geographic features within this landscape influence raccoon gene flow only to a limited extent, suggesting that ridges of this physiographic system will not provide substantial long-term natural barriers to rabies virus trafficking. These results may be of value for future ORV efforts in Pennsylvania and other eastern states with similar landscapes.

Development of 10 Polymorphic Microsatellite Loci Isolated From The Mountain Beaver, Aplodontia rufa rufa (Rafinesque)

We developed 10 microsatellite markers for the mountain beaver, Aplodontia rufa rufa. In three populations of A. r. rufa, the number of alleles for these loci ranged from monomorphic to nine. Average observed heterozygosities in these populations ranged from 0.29 to 0.60. We also tested previously published markers from the endangered subspecies A. r. nigra in A. r. rufa populations.
