Voleibol brasileiro : parâmetros fenotípicos e genotípicos na seleção de atletas

Objective: Identify phenotype and genotype parameters of female volleyball players at different performance levels to help in player selection. Methods: We identified characteristics of phenotype and genotype using the somatotype method (Heath Carter); anthropometry (weight, height and fat percentage); dermatoglyphics (Cummins and Midlo s method) as well as applying physical quality tests (Shuttle Run to assess agility and the Sargent Jump Test adapted for spike and block reach). The sample was composed of 179 players (54 from national teams and 125 from state teams). Results: Somatotype was similar among the performance levels in the mesomorphic component. The Height and ectomorphic component were greater in national team players as was spike and block reach. The vertical jump height for the spike was similar between the national under-17 team and the state teams observed, but in the block jump the lower level players were better. The dermatoglyphics characteristics identified were similar among the groups studied. Conclusions: The results of the variables studied show that somatotype, height, spike reach and block reach are fundamental parameters in player selection and in the specific characteristics of each game position of this sport. This paper proposes a multidisciplinary approach applicable in the fields of physical education, medicine and nutrition

Seleção de categorias da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde para avaliação do paciente com acidente vascular cerebral em reabilitação

Stroke represents the first cause of disabilities among adults. Although different professions work together in treatment of stroke patients, all they use different terminologies for the description of the patients problems and it can constitute an impediment in the communication between the staff members. Thus, the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work would be facilitated if using a reference common tool, as the new International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). However, the ICF is very extensive and complex and due to its complexity, it has been evidenced the necessity to select its categories to become it more practical. The aim of the study was to investigate which categories of the ICF are more suitable to evaluate and to describe the stroke patient in the view of teachers and municipal public health professionals. It was a descriptive research, which involved 5 professors and 11 professionals of Physiotherapy that have worked at the health public area in Natal / RN. It was used the Delphi Technique in 3 rounds and the Likert Scale to select the categories among the ICF components. As result, from the 362 IFC categories, 94 were selected. The selected categories correspond to rehabilitative characteristics of Stroke patients in the universe of the Physiotherapy performance. The methodology applied was suitable to the studied object emphasizing the necessity of future studies for validation of the chosen categories

Estudo da correlação das características dermatoglífica e somatotípica com as qualidades físicas das atletas de voleibol da Seleção Infanto-juvenil do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte

The purpose of the present study is to identify the dermatoglyphic and somatotypic characteristics and the physical qualities of athletes from the under-17 State volleyball team, in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The sample was composed of athletes, n = 14, aged 15.0 ± 0.88 years, weight (Kg) 58.3 ± 5.90 and height (cm) 169.4 ± 7.97, members of the referred team. For data collection Cummins & Midlo s (1942), o dermatoglyphic method and Heath & Carter s (1967) somatotypic method were used and to evaluate physical qualities, 2400m, 50m, Shuttle Run, abdominal , Sargent test and medicine-ball toss were performed. Fingerprints show that the group presents genetic predisposition for the following physical qualities: explosive force and velocity. As to somatotype, the group was endo-ectomorphic. At physical evaluation the group presented low Vo2 max values and reasonable levels of explosive force, local muscular endurance, agility and velocity. We conclude that: according to the dermatoglyphic model observed, the group needs training strategies to improve coordination and agility; somatotype reveals the necessity for reducing fat levels and increasing muscular mass; the evaluation of physical qualities demonstrates the need for better physical preparation. This study traces the profile of the under-17 volleyball player from Rio Grande do Norte, with respect to genetic and somatotypic aspects and physical qualities, which will serve as a parameter for future state teams

Transmissão de Radiação Ultravioleta Através do Pelame e da Epiderme de Bovinos

A transmissão de radiação ultravioleta de comprimentos de onda entre 250 e 360 nm através do pelame e da epiderme de bovinos foi determinada em laboratório, usando-se amostras de couro de animais recém-abatidos. A quantidade de radiação transmitida através do pelame depende da coloração e também das características estruturais do pelame (espessura da capa; comprimento, diâmetro, número e inclinação dos pêlos), pelas quais é definido o trajeto médio de um fóton pela massa de pêlos (L). A maior transmissão é proporcionada por pelames brancos com altos valores de L, ao passo que pelames negros em geral apresentam transmissão nula ou muito baixa. Quanto menos pigmentada a epiderme, maior a transmissão de radiação através da sua superfície. A melhor proteção é proporcionada por pelames negros com baixo valor de L sobre epiderme igualmente negra, mas em vista do aquecimento causado pela absorção de radiação térmica (em vacas Holandesas a temperatura das malhas negras atinge 44,1ºC ao mesmo tempo em que a das malhas brancas é 37,7ºC), a combinação ideal para ambientes tropicais é um pelame branco com baixo valor de L sobre epiderme negra, uma combinação dificilmente encontrada em animais de raças européias. Uma alternativa seria um pelame negro com um baixo valor de L. Animais vermelhos apresentam alta transmissão de radiação UV através da epiderme e do pelame, sendo desaconselhados para ambientes tropicais. Entretanto, foi observada uma vaca Holandesa com áreas isoladas de epiderme negra coberta com pelame branco, o que pode trazer perspectivas para uma seleção para combinações mais adequadas de epiderme e pelame em bovinos de raças européias.

Estimativa de parâmetros genéticos da habilidade de permanência aos 48, 60 e 72 meses de idade em vacas da raça Caracu

Objetivou-se estimar a herdabilidade da característica habilidade de permanência (HP) em um rebanho de bovinos da raça Caracu visando sua utilização como critério de seleção. A característica em estudo foi definida como a probabilidade de a vaca estar presente no rebanho aos 48 (HP48), aos 60 (HP60) e aos 72 (HP72) meses, desde que possuíssem registros de pelo menos duas lactações nas específicas idades. Observações binárias, com zero (0 = fracasso) e um (1 = sucesso) foram designadas aos animais. Para análise da HP, foram utilizados dados de 5.487, 4.947 e 4.308 animais aos 48, 60 e 72 meses, respectivamente. Os componentes de variância e as herdabilidades foram estimados mediante inferência Bayesiana, via amostragem de Gibbs, pelo programa MTGSAM - threshold, utilizando-se um modelo touro. Foram utilizadas como variáveis explanatórias grupo de contemporâneos, classe de produção de leite na primeira lactação, classe de idade ao primeiro parto e sua interação. As análises forneceram estimativas médias de herdabilidade iguais a 0,28 ± 0,07 para HP48, 0,27 ± 0,07 para HP60 e 0,23 ± 0,07 para HP72. Os resultados evidenciaram que a característica HP apresentou variação aditiva em todas as idades estudadas e, portanto, pode ser empregada como critério de seleção para longevidade produtiva.

Animais não humanos: a construção da titularidade jurídica como novos sujeitos de direito

This work has the main goal on the recognition of the inherent value of nonhuman animals, under the constitutional framework. It is presented the main philosophical formulations of the current pattern of behavior that rules the relationship between man and animals: first those that have excluded animals from moral consideration and then the thinkers which do have included, in some way, in order to elucidate the origin of the anthropocentric thought over the natural world. In this way, the analysis these thinkers that have included animals in moral consideration will contribute to a paradigm change from the anthropocentric view, initiating legal debates. It will be made a simplified analysis of different philosophical and legal points of view that have been demonstrating the posture in which the human beings have been dealing with the environment, with the replacement of the anthropocentric thinking for the biocentric view, in which life becomes the center of existence. Life is life, no matter whether it is human or not, has a value in itself, and must be protected and respected by the legal system. Then, it will be analized the constitutionalization of the nonhuman animal dignity in comparative law; the infraconstitutional legislation which concerning the intrinsic value of all life forms and, finally, the 1988 Constitution. It will be advocated for non-human animals the condition of subjects, presenting some cases that the Habeas Corpus was used in animal defense. In this new Brazilian Habeas Corpus theory of for apes the argument of genetic proximity was used in order to overcome the literal meaning of natural person to achieve hominids in order to assure the fundamental right of physical freedom. It is realized that the fact that the great apes being recognized as a person does not preclude the possibility of other living beings be recognized as subjects of law. In this way, animals can be considered non-human subjects of law, according to the theory of depersonalized entities and may enjoy a legal category that allows a respect for existential minimum, and can hold constitutional fundamental rights

Uso da biodiversidade por populações humanas na caatinga e na Mata Atlântica, Rio Grande do Norte, Nordeste do Brasil

The use of animals is a common activity but it can be really variable between human populations. This work analyzed the knowledge about useful animal species between human communities in Caatinga and Atlantic Forest considering the influence of socioeconomics and environmental factors on the species selection. Forty people were interviewed in Caraúbas community (Atlantic Forest) and thirty were interviewed in Barrocas community (Caatinga). A total of 193 animals were cited. The communities showed a low degree of similarity (20%) and the general diversity of mentioned species was significantly bigger in Caraúbas. Men cited a diversity of species greater than women for food category in Caraúbas and pet category in Caraúbas and Barrocas. Women cited greater species diversity for medicinal use in Caraúbas. In general, in both communities, the age group >60 years showed a greater knowledge than the others. The multiple regression analysis showed the age as the only socioeconomic factor which influenced significantly the knowledge about animals for the food category in both communities. Considering the richness of known species, there were differences only between gender for sum of uses and food category in Caraúbas and for the pet category in Barrocas with men showing a greater knowledge than women. The results showed that local environmental differences are fundamental at the species selection but they also showed that within communities there are other factors like gender and age that tend to influence the knowledge about species. It is important to consider cultural, economic, social and environmental factors to understand better the interactions between people and animals so that this information can be used to facilitate the implementation of conservation measures
